For Expat & Corporate Families
An accredited American K–12 school in Chennai — so the school choice isn’t the reason the relocation falls through.
If you are relocating to Chennai for an assignment — from a corporate posting, a consulate transfer, a research role, or a tech-sector move — the school question is rarely a small line in the package. For most families, it is the line that decides whether the move happens at all.
AWS Chennai exists for families exactly like yours: those who need a real American K–12 school with portable credentials, not a “close enough” compromise.
The three questions every family in your situation asks us before anything else.
Your child is mid-way through an American or international curriculum. You need a school where they can keep going at grade level, not restart in a parallel system.
English-medium is the floor, not a feature. You also want the classroom culture to feel international — teachers used to mixed-nationality cohorts, comfortable with global references.
Most corporate postings are 2–4 years. Whatever your child does at AWS Chennai needs to map cleanly back into an American, British, or international school when you rotate out.
Honest answers, not marketing slogans.
Aligned with AERO standards. Same content, same pace, same assessment philosophy your child experienced before. The transition is academic, not cultural.
Every subject is taught in English. The student body includes families from across India and abroad — your child won’t be the only one with a passport stamp.
AWS Chennai is accredited by WASC, AIAASC, and NCPSA. Our transcripts are recognised by American, British, Canadian, Australian, and Singaporean schools and universities.

For relocating families, we can usually run the conversation, the academic review, and the placement decision within two weeks — faster if your timeline requires it. Talk to admissions on day one.
Yes — AWS Chennai admits children in every month of the year, because the families who need us most rarely arrive on the first day of term.
Yes. We routinely invoice corporate employers and relocation providers. Your HR mobility contact can reach us directly.
No. World-language electives are flexible at AWS Chennai. Many of our expat students continue with French, Spanish, or German rather than picking up a new Indian language for a short stay.
