In today’s education landscape, independent learning is no longer a “bonus skill” — it’s essential for students to adapt, grow, and succeed in the long run. At The American School (TAS), the foundation for self-directed learning is built from the earliest years of international elementary education.

Starting Early: Goal Setting and Personal Learning Plans
At TAS, even first graders are introduced to basic goal setting. Students learn how to plan weekly or monthly targets — not to chase grades, but to understand that every learning journey begins with small, purposeful steps.
Teachers guide and support students in evaluating their own progress, adjusting their learning methods, and taking responsibility for their growth. This creates confident, self-aware learners who are not dependent on adults to succeed.
Technology as a Tool — Not a Substitute for Effort
TAS thoughtfully integrates technology into elementary classrooms through task management apps, interactive learning tools, and online assignment platforms. This allows students to practice, complete tasks, and submit work independently—even from home.
But what matters most is that technology doesn’t replace the human touch. Teachers continue to track each child’s progress, offer timely encouragement, and ensure students understand that personal effort and learning attitude are what truly determine success.
Learning to Learn — A Skill That Lasts a Lifetime
“Learn to know. Learn to do. Learn to learn.” That’s what TAS instills in every elementary student. With a strong habit of self-directed learning, children not only thrive in the current curriculum — but also succeed in any academic path ahead, whether it’s IB, AP, or any global program.
