It is my great honor and privilege to welcome you to The American School Foundation of Guadalajara, A.C. From our youngest students
in nursery to our graduating seniors, from our newest parents to our most veteran teachers, we are all proud to be members of a robust
learning community at ASFG committed to making a difference in the lives of our students and affecting positive change in our community.
We believe deeply in our mission statement and learning goals. Only by developing into purposeful learners, critical and creative thinkers,
effective communicators and community contributors will our students, future leaders within Mexico and abroad, have the skills,
understanding and aspiration to actively engage and contribute to a bright and sustainable future.
Our rigorous academic, co-curricular and character development programs challenge our students to grow, to engage meaningfully in their
learning and to be creative, analytical and collaborative in their daily work. Likewise, ASFG is a college preparatory institution. We prepare
our students to be successful in the best international and national universities as demonstrated by our college admission results year after
year. We are very proud of the remarkable accomplishments of all our students.
As you explore our school’s webpage, you will begin to appreciate the breadth and depth of our commitment to our students, our
community and our learning goals.
Welcome to ASFG!
