About Us
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
Our vision is to empower children to become 21st century thinkers by awakening their entrepreneurial spirit, inspiring them to become architects of their futures, and giving them the confidence to transform their world.
American World School empowers students to learn about entrepreneurship by launching startups or cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset. We accomplish this through the acclaimed Kidspreneur ESTEAM Framework and our AIAASC accreditation. This powerful synergy within our team propels our school and students toward becoming influential change-makers and innovators.
CORE VALUES
No matter a student’s age, background, or experiences, we believe they have the power to impact the world
OUR CURRICULUM
AWS uses a mastery-based learning model, creating the time and space for what matters most. Students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of all competencies and skills identified in a course before moving on, thereby reducing the number of “gaps” in their education.
​
Academic progress in a discipline is decoupled from age, and every student at AWS is assigned to a mixed-age cohort. While the time it takes a student to finish a course may vary, the depth of mastery remains constant. AWS creates space within and beyond the core academics for students to explore their passions. In this space, they further develop their skills and apply their learning within contexts that are meaningful to them and quite often develop expertise at a far younger age than many would expect. Physical activity, wellness, and creative expression, entrepreneurial mindset are also central to AWS students life.
