Meet Our Leadership & Faculty
Our community is built by people who listen, mentor, and inspire. Get to know the educators and leaders who foster our culture of belonging every day.
In another round of "Ask the Director," Dr. Harrington answers student questions about innovation, his favorite places on campus, and why he wanted to become a school director. It's a fun look at our commitment to student voice.
Our director, Dr. Rand Harrington, explains our strategic pillar of "Prioritizing Well-being and Belonging." He discusses how we build one community from 70 countries by ensuring every child feels a sense of belonging in an inclusive classroom.
When 3rd-grade students wrote letters advocating for more recess, Dr. Harrington visited their class. He shared the master plans for a new gymnasium, showing students how their voices are heard and can lead to real change.

Hear directly from our teachers about what makes AES special. A Middle School educator shares her experience working with a diverse student body and how our school truly lives its mission of creating a culture of belonging.
We celebrate the lasting impact of our educators, like Ms. Vera Garg. A group of alumni recently nominated her for a prestigious mentorship award, a testament to her decades of dedicated service to generations of AES students.
We are deeply grateful for our incredible support staff who are the backbone of our campus. We take time to thank them for their dedication, care, and hard work that keeps our school running smoothly every day.
Every great school has a story. Dr. Rand Harrington walks us through the history of AES, from its beginnings in 1952 to the vibrant, international community it is today.
Community is at the core of AES. Our Master Plan begins with a new Health & Wellness Center, designed to support physical health, social connection, and a sense of purpose for our entire community.
About Meet Our Leadership & Faculty
One highlight of our leadership approach is the "Ask the Director" series, where Dr. Rand Harrington regularly sits down to answer honest questions from students across all grades—from 3rd graders asking about recess plans to 11th graders proposing innovations. It is not just talk; when 3rd graders advocated for more recess, he showed them the master plans for our new gymnasium to explain how their voices directly shape our campus future.
Leading with Open Ears
At AES, leadership is visible, accessible, and grounded in student agency. Our "Ask the Director" series is a core part of this transparency, providing a direct line between the student body and school administration. Whether it is discussing innovation or addressing specific student requests, our goal is to show that every voice has weight in our community.
Teachers Who Truly Mentor
We are proud to host educators from around the globe who bring diverse perspectives into the classroom. It is common to find teachers who are deeply committed to long-term mentorship, like Ms. Vera Garg, who was recently nominated for the prestigious Nancy Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award by former students. This level of dedication is the standard, not the exception, at AES.
A Culture of Belonging
Our faculty are the architects of our culture of belonging. With staff hailing from over 70 countries, we do not just teach a curriculum; we facilitate a global exchange of ideas. Our teachers are supported in creating environments where students feel safe enough to take intellectual risks and explore their passions. Whether through after-school clubs, service initiatives, or daily classroom interactions, our faculty ensures that the joyful pursuit of excellence is a lived experience for every child.
American Embassy School
We are a team of educators and leaders who believe that a school is only as strong as its people. We do not just teach; we listen, mentor, and grow alongside our students. When you join AES, you are not just joining a school—you are joining a community that cares deeply about your child's journey.
