Relocating to London or already resident here? You may wish to consider the renowned American schools in London and the home counties. Our thriving US community takes advantage of these excellent schools, as well as both UK and international families relocating to the capital.
The American School in London (ASL).
Located in St John’s Wood, in North London, the American School (ASL) follows the US curriculum, taking children from 4 all the way to 18. The 50 different nationalities represented at the school give it a truly global outlook, whilst at the same time focusing on providing an American education. Students and parents comment on the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
The school understands how challenging an international move can be and takes time to help new families settle. It is also experienced in helping children transition from the UK to US curriculum. For families coming from either American or international schools abroad, ASL feels friendly and familiar. The school has been rated “outstanding” across the board by Ofsted. The High School places a high percentage of students in Ivy League universities.
