The American School Foundation of Guadalajara, A.C.

🛤️💺Este fin de semana nuestra comunidad ASFG tuvo la oportunidad de vivir una experiencia única a bordo de Dr. Vagón, el tren de la salud de Fundación Grupo México.

Gracias a la iniciativa de nuestra exalumna Ana Sofía Lanczyner ’05, Subdirectora de Salud y Entretenimiento en la Fundación, conocimos de cerca el impacto de este innovador proyecto itinerante que lleva atención médica gratuita a miles de familias en todo México.

🌎 En ASFG, el service learning nos enseña que lo aprendido trasciende el aula y se convierte en compromiso real con la comunidad. Este recorrido no solo nos acercó a una labor inspiradora, también fortaleció los lazos entre generaciones de exalumnos, familias y staff, recordándonos que la comunidad ASFG permanece activa y solidaria mucho más allá de la graduación.

💚 Agradecemos a Ana Sofía, al equipo en Dr. Vagón y a todas las familias que nos acompañaron. Estas alianzas son las que hacen de ASFG Alumni una red de valor y compromiso social.

Today we celebrate our Director General, David McGrath, whose leadership and vision continue to guide ASFG toward excellence. With a deep commitment to making our school better every day, he inspires us all to live our vision: to inspire, educate, and to act to better our world. 🌍 As a community, we came together to create a giant birthday card filled with messages from students, staff, and families, each one a reflection of the gratitude and admiration we share. Happy Birthday, Mr. McGrath! Thank you for leading ASFG with purpose and heart.

Back-to-school season feels even brighter as we welcome our newest faculty members to the Warrior family. 🍎🦁 Their diverse global experiences enrich our classrooms and inspire our students another reason why ASFG continues to offer an exceptional education from day one. Let’s give them the warmest welcome to our Warrior family!

🎓🎖️ College Admissions Report for the Class of 2025. The ASFG High School Faculty and Administrative Team are happy to report the Class of 2025 had a successful college admissions season with the vast majority of its members gaining acceptance to one or more of the universities or colleges on their application list. In closing this report, we wish to wholeheartedly thank the teachers and staff at ASFG that have worked with the graduating Warriors since Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle School, and High School. We recognize that it truly does take a village to get to where these promising young men and women are at this point of their lives.

☂️📸 Before taking the big step into Elementary, our Kindergarten students came together for a generational photo. This generation has filled early childhood with laughter, curiosity, and so much love. Watching them grow into confident learners and kind friends has been a true honor. Thank you, Kindergarten Class of 2025, for all the memories. We’re excited for everything that’s coming next!

Our 8th grade students marked the end of their Middle School years with a meaningful promotion ceremony. This stage has shaped them into thoughtful learners, resilient individuals, and strong community members. High School is just ahead, and we are confident in all they will bring to it.

We celebrated our 4th grade students as they completed their journey in Elementary. We are proud of all they have accomplished during these formative years; their growth as learners, their curiosity, and their kindness. Middle School awaits, and we know they are ready.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 for successfully completing your journey at ASFG! You’ve learned with purpose, led with heart, and taken action to build a better world. The future is yours.

The Class of 2025 walked their Senior Parade surrounded by their entire ASFG community — teachers, students, staff, and the families who have supported them every step of the way. From their decorated hallway to the arms of their parents, through cheering teachers and the youngest students holding signs, the parade became a celebration of growth, gratitude, and everything it took to get here. Graduation is just around the corner, and this walk was one last reminder: it really does take a village to raise purposeful learners, critical and creative thinkers, effective communicators, and community contributors. You will be missed, Class of 2025 🎓♥️

Happy Father’s Day to our ASFG dads — the original Warriors! Thank you for walking beside us as we raise compassionate, curious, and courageous students ready to inspire, educate, and act to better our world. We couldn’t do it without you. 💙

Early childhood recognizes the strength, love, and presence of our students' fathers. We are so grateful for the opportunity to start celebrating with you through the Mini Olympics and classroom activities. Thank you for showing up with such heart, energy, and joy.

We celebrated the heart and dedication of our student athletes and robotics team members during the Warriors Parade. They walked the track surrounded by cheers, love, and admiration from their community — a moment to honor their effort and the connections built along the way. These are the moments that stay with us. We are all Warriors. #WarriorsParade #ASFGCommunity #WeAreAllWarriors #WarriorSpirit

This year’s Noche Bohemia was more than just an evening under the stars—it was a heartfelt farewell to a legend who has been at the soul of this event for years. Mr. Diego Soberanes is retiring, leaving behind a legacy deeply rooted in the music and magic that have defined Noche Bohemia. Though he takes a well-deserved bow, his legacy will continue to echo through every note played at ASFG. Gracias totales, Mr. Soberanes. _____ 📸 Gen Mita (11th grade student)

Our entire 5th grade recently traveled to Mazamitla as a class. From outdoor adventures to team-building challenges, every moment was an opportunity to learn, support one another, and enjoy the beauty of nature. This trip wasn’t just about the destination—it was about growing as a group, building memories, and stepping into middle school with confidence and connection. 🌲🚌✨

Celebrating local voices in literature. Thanks to the support of our community, we had the honor of welcoming Jalisco-based writer Ome Galindo to ASFG. He shared not only his insights on writing and gender, but also gifted us with copies of his published works—now available in our library. Some of these books will be awarded to students who wrote the most outstanding revolutionary microfiction pieces. We’re proud to keep encouraging reading, writing, and critical thinking through meaningful local connections. 📚✨ @omegalindoescritor

Every year, our seniors take on a year-long challenge: to explore, question, build, and present a project that reflects their learning, passion, and growth. This week, they shared the results of that journey — presenting their Senior Projects to a panel with insight, courage, and heart. We couldn’t be prouder of how far they’ve come. And though their time at ASFG is coming to a close, the impact they leave behind is just beginning.

We celebrated Teacher’s Day surrounded by joy, heartfelt words, and a deep sense of gratitude. Because our teachers are so much more than educators; they are mentors, guides, and steady hands that help shape not just minds, but lives. A special thank you to our Parent Association, who represented our families with love and helped make this celebration a beautiful tribute to those who give so much every day.

ASFG Cafeterias: Certified Premium Quality We’re proud to share that both ASFG cafeterias were recently awarded the Distintivo H certification. This recognition is granted by the Secretaría de Turismo (SECTUR) and endorsed by the Secretaría de Salud. It is awarded to food service establishments that meet the highest standards of hygiene and food safety. As part of our ongoing commitment to quality, the Parent Association—together with an external certification body—conducts unannounced inspections to ensure these standards are consistently upheld.

In Early Childhood, Children’s Day was all about choice, creativity, and joy! Our youngest warriors got to decide how to spend their day — moving freely between classrooms filled with activities like disco dancing, sensory play, pom-pom creations, face painting, cookie decorating, recycled material construction, cereal bracelets, and more. We’re so grateful to work alongside children who remind us, every day, how to learn with curiosity, play with purpose, and celebrate life wholeheartedly.
