The American School of Bombay (ASB) was founded as an<br />

independent, coeducational day school in 1981. The school<br />

offers an educational program from early childhood through<br />

grade 12 for 700 students representing over 40 nationalities. ASB<br />

serves the international and expatriate community of Mumbai<br />

and is recognized with full accreditation from the Middle States<br />

Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and The<br />

Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation.<br />

ASB has been an <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School since 1998 and is authorized to<br />

offer both the Primary Years and Diploma Programmes. While<br />

focusing on the development of the whole child, the school<br />

offers a college preparatory curriculum that awards graduates an<br />

American high school diploma and/or the <strong>IB</strong> diploma.<br />

ASB challenges students to become lifelong learners;<br />

pursuing their dreams while being caring and sensitive to the<br />

needs of others. ASB is a school that believes mutual trust and<br />

respect are essential for healthy, enduring relationships and to<br />

that end promotes international mindedness on the parts of<br />

adults and students in the school community. Our school<br />

houses families and students from diverse cultures and<br />

perspectives and is committed to international understanding<br />

and responsible citizenship.<br />

Developing 21st century learning skills is a priority at ASB.<br />

These skills complement and enhance the <strong>IB</strong> learner profile,<br />

the school mission and form the basis of our programming.<br />
