Open House

Come and See for Yourself.

Home Admission Open House

The best way to know if AWS is right for your family is to walk through the doors.

A website can tell you about our curriculum, our accreditations, and our partnerships. But it cannot give you the feeling of being inside a school that is genuinely alive — classrooms buzzing with real curiosity, students building real things, a community that welcomes you because that is simply who they are.

That is what our Open House is for.

Come with your child. Come with your questions. Come ready to look at everything and form your own honest view.

We think you will stay.

What to Expect

Every Open House is designed to give you a genuine, unfiltered look at life inside AWS.

1

A Real Welcome

You are greeted by our admissions team and a current AWS student ambassador — a real Falcon who knows the school from the inside and can answer the questions only a student can answer honestly.

2

A Full Campus Tour

Walk through every space — the Imaginarium Classrooms, the Maker Space and Innovation Hub, the Content Creation Studio, the Falcons Gym, the Library, and the outdoor learning spaces where students spend two to three hours every single day.

3

Learning in Action

Where possible, we schedule Open House visits during the school day — so you see real lessons, real students, and real AWS energy. Not a staged demonstration. The actual thing.

4

A Genuine Q&A

An open conversation with school leadership and our admissions team. Every question welcome. Every answer honest.

5

A Junior Explorer Experience for Your Child

While parents are in conversation, children join a hands-on activity — a mini Maker Space challenge, a storytelling session, or a collaborative entrepreneurship task led by an AWS educator. Children who visit AWS on Open House day frequently leave asking when they can come back.

Content Creation Hub

A professional shooting studio, editing suites, and recording studio — open to every student freely as part of their AWS education.

Falcons Gym

A full-fledged gymnasium supporting the physical wellbeing that is central to the AWS Way.

The Outdoor Campus

Gardens, sports courts, and open spaces where learning continues beyond the classroom walls every single day.

What Families Say

From families who came to see — and decided to stay.

“We visited three schools before coming to AWS. We knew within fifteen minutes that this was different. It was the students who convinced us.”

“Our son watched the students working with the Vayusathra engineers on Innovation Day and said — I want to do that. He has not looked back since.”
AWS Parent, relocated from Bangalore
“Our daughter spent an hour in the Maker Space with two children she had never met. She asked if she could come back the next day.”
