Grand opening of LAS in 1989. The school building is a townhouse with two floors. Dr. Esther Hanna (left of the podium) and Ms. Anna Lee are the co-founders of LAS. For over two decades, AST has offered a challenging education for students who must function in a rapidly changing, multi-cultural world. Our graduates are expected to exhibit traits of excellence, integrity, and responsibility as they develop problem-solving skills to meet the needs of the future.
AST is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. We offer an American curriculum designed to prepare students for success in US colleges and universities. We accomplish this by attracting a teaching staff of fully qualified and certified teachers who bring experiences from American and International schools to our students. Small class sizes enable our students and teachers to form lasting relationships that enhance the educational atmosphere. As a small school, we can foster a sense of community that further enriches the environment for learning.
We realize that parents entrust their greatest treasure to us, their children, and we take that responsibility very seriously. As you learn more about us, I hope the excitement that is at the heart of AST is evident. Our success is found in the lives of our graduates. Our mission is to help them create the future.
