The year 2025 comes to a close with many significant milestones, marking a new phase of development for The American School (TAS). In a constantly evolving international education landscape, TAS has remained steadfast in its chosen direction: investing deeply in academic quality, comprehensively upgrading the learning environment, and building a long-term foundation for students’ sustainable growth.
Rather than chasing short-term changes, TAS focuses on core quality where every decision is guided by the long-term interests of learners.
Academic Highlights: The Results of a Well-Structured Pathway
The 2024–2025 academic year recorded outstanding academic outcomes, clearly reflecting the effectiveness of TAS’s personalized education model and the close collaboration among teachers, counselors, and students.
- 100% of TAS students graduated on time.
- 100% of students scored 3 or higher on AP exams, exceeding the global average.
- 100% of graduates were admitted to top universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
These figures not only demonstrate students’ academic capabilities, but also serve as evidence of a carefully designed learning system from appropriate AP subject selection and strategic portfolio development to continuous support from the College & Academic Counseling team.
Campus Upgrades: Learning in an Inspiring Environment
Alongside academic excellence, 2025 also marked clear advancements in campus facilities at TAS. The school continued investing to create a modern, safe, and nature-connected campus where students can develop both physically and mentally.
The campus was enhanced with a new pickleball court to support physical activity and fitness. The Innovation Lab was upgraded into a dynamic learning space for science, technology, robotics, and interdisciplinary projects. Treehouses and green areas were expanded, providing open learning environments where students can connect with nature and learn in a more organic way.
These improvements extend beyond classroom learning, helping students build healthy, balanced, and proactive lifestyles.
Strengthening the International Pathway: IB PYP & IB DP Candidate School
The year 2025 marked a major milestone in TAS’s long-term academic strategy, as the school was officially recognized as an IB PYP Authorized School and became an IB Diploma Programme (DP) Candidate School.
This achievement further completes TAS’s international education pathway from Elementary through High School, combining U.S. academic standards, modern IB methodologies, and the AP program at the upper secondary level.
This direction not only expands learning options for students, but also reinforces TAS’s commitment to balanced development across intellect, emotional well-being, and skills core elements that prepare students for university life and the global world.
Investing in People: Teachers and Counselors at the Center of Growth
Beyond programs and facilities, TAS continues to invest strongly in its people. Teachers participate in in-depth professional development, staying up to date with modern teaching methods and global education trends. The counseling team has been strengthened to ensure that every student receives timely support, both academically and personally.
At TAS, education goes beyond knowledge delivery, it is a journey of partnership, where teachers listen, understand, and work alongside students in making important decisions for their future.
Gratitude and Direction for the Journey Ahead
As 2025 comes to a close, TAS extends sincere gratitude to parents for their trust and continued partnership throughout the year. That trust serves as the motivation for TAS to keep improving and moving forward.
Entering the new year, The American School remains firmly committed to its chosen path: enhancing educational quality, investing sustainably, and creating a learning environment where every TAS student can develop to their full potential, confidently integrate into the global community, and be fully prepared for the future.
