What type of support does the College Counseling Department give to the High School Students?

We try to match the interests, personalities and capacities of our students with the Universities that they are going to apply to.

Do you have an idea why the Universities want American School Alumni in their classes?

Because they want diversity in their campus and they have had positive experiences with the American Schools graduates. They find our students outgoing, friendly and involved in campus life.

What message do you want to send to our alumni community?

Our doors are always open for questions about universities studies, scholarships and career advice. You can contact me at my email address: raymondmarx@yahoo.com
