"Day to day at ASB, I could not feel happier at school. In the years I've been here, I've gotten many incredible opportunities, like participating in math competitions and being part of our amazing Student Council. I feel like I get to help and positively impact the lives of others both here at school and in the larger community. Additionally, I've gotten to take the stage with ASB a couple of times, most recently with Spotlight Productions, where I got to help put on a fantastic show with my peers and friends. Finally, as a cheerleader, I could not be happier cheering this school on. Go, Lynx!"

"ASB has taught me about the power of community. I continue to learn so much from my peers from all over the world and friends from vastly different cultures. I have a wide variety of interests - ranging from military history to astrophysics and athletics - and the support I receive from the school allows me to thrive academically and through my extracurriculars. I participate in and lead several extracurricular activities, including Student Council, high school basketball, and the Eco Club. In addition, I enjoy giving back to the school through community service projects that further enhance our school values and ethos."

"ASB is a great school! It offers many activities and opportunities to pursue one's interests and goals. I enjoy playing basketball with the middle school team and competing in local school leagues. I also enjoy participating in worldwide math competitions like Mathcounts or AMC8. I feel like I am thriving at ASB!"

"I have been a student at ASB since I was three years old. I love being a member of the Student Council because I get to be part of a group where we brainstorm ideas to help make ASB the best it can be. For me, student council is important because it makes life at ASB more fun and we also try to help others. For example, we organize spirit week and we help raise money for the lynx, an endangered animal that is also our school mascot. My favorite thing about ASB is that it welcomes students and we get to make new friends."

"As part of the Teaching and Learning team at ASB, it's been so exciting to see how the opportunity for professional learning has grown over the last decade. We are able to bring in consultants like Mary Ehrenworth from Teachers College Reading and Writing Project and Paul Andersen for NGSS science work. In addition, we are able to connect with teachers from the other American International Schools in Spain for professional learning related to early childhood education, DEIJ, C3 social studies, and K-12 World Languages. These opportunities, combined with the opportunity for instructional coaching and other internal PD, have created such rich opportunities for our teachers to learn in order to support their work with students."

"ASB's safe environment has helped me to find like-minded students with whom to grow. I have been an active member of the performing arts, performing in multiple school productions and charity and community events. I feel very fortunate to have such amazing teachers and a learning community that cares about student well-being."

"I am forever grateful to the teachers I had during my time at ASB. Their passion and dedication is unsurpassed; it is clear they not only love the subjects they teach but appreciate their role in guiding the curiosity and ambition of the students that pass through their classrooms. I'm going to miss seeing them every day."

"I attended ASB from PK3 until Grade 12, and over the years, I was able to appreciate the authentic feeling of community at the school. The school, being relatively small, makes it easy for students to develop strong relationships with classmates, students in other grades, and the teachers."

"Extracurricular activities and community service are essential components for students. I was the president of Rotary Interact, a student representative for Student Council, a delegate in Model United Nations, and on the school tennis team. ASB opened the door to an empowering, open-minded, and international learning experience that continues to guide me today."

"ASB drastically changed my perceptions as a former small-town American who had never before recognized the complexity of the world or the beauty that can flourish from intercultural friendships. My experience at ASB taught me the importance of community service, allowing me to understand how to tackle social problems at a young age."
