Talented faculty. Two thirds of our internationally trained and experienced faculty hold advanced university degrees. On-going professional development of our faculty is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Teachers and students work together not just in the classroom, but on the athletic field and stage, in student clubs, and during other out of classroom activities.

Festival of Nations. At any given time there are 40 to 60 different nations represented at the school. We celebrate our diversity throughout the curriculum and the entire community comes together for cultural performances and a Parade of Nations once a year.

Capstone projects. At ASB, capstone projects crystallize enduring understandings. Students in Grades 5, 8, 10, and 12 engage in extended research projects around agreed upon topics such as social justice and world religions.

See the world. Students travel internationally throughout Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America for competitions and exchanges in varsity sports, academic bowls, Model United Nations, and music and art festivals.
