Discover the American Embassy School Experience
Welcome to a community of over 70 nationalities where we focus on the joyful pursuit of excellence from Pre-K through Grade 12.
Welcome to our community. We are a home for families from over 70 countries, and every new school year is a chance to connect, grow, and discover together. Here’s to a year of curiosity and partnership. Go Tigers!
What makes our school truly international? It's the diverse perspectives our students and teachers bring to the classroom every day. A teacher and parent shares his reflections on how this global environment shapes a broader, richer worldview for our children.
We believe in a balanced education defined by a joyful pursuit of excellence. Our arts program is a perfect example, where passionate teachers help students step out of their comfort zones, take creative risks, and find new ways to express themselves.
The journey of a lifelong reader starts here. We celebrate milestones big and small, like our elementary students proudly declaring their new reading skills. We foster a love for literacy that empowers them to explore the world through books.
We are committed to preparing our students for their next chapter. Our annual University Fair connects high schoolers with over 60 universities from around the world, providing them with the guidance and inspiration to pursue their future goals.
As an international community in the heart of India, we embrace and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our host country. Our India Independence Day assembly is a vibrant showcase of music, dance, and unity that brings our entire school together.
Innovation is at the core of our learning approach. In our middle school robotics elective, students design, build, and problem-solve, turning creative ideas into working prototypes and developing critical skills for the future.
"Teachers and staff are very open minded and open to new ways of teaching and thinking." We are proud that our parents see our commitment to fostering critical thinking and creating an environment where new ideas flourish.
About Featured
Our classrooms are designed to be hubs for student-led inquiry and hands-on discovery rather than just spaces for lectures. We balance rigorous academics, including the IB Diploma Program, with a deep commitment to student agency and global citizenship, ensuring every learner feels seen and valued right here in our Chanakyapuri campus.
A Different Approach to Learning
At AES, we define education as a 'joyful pursuit of excellence.' This is more than a slogan. It means that while academic rigor is a priority, we place equal weight on athletics, the arts, and service learning. Our students are encouraged to ask questions, experiment, and drive their own learning journey through project-based tasks.
Life from Pre-K to Graduation
Our campus is a self-contained community.
- Elementary School: We foster a love for literacy and inquiry, where KG students might research animals while third graders run their own exhibits.
- Middle School: Students join our 'fort' system, which promotes teamwork, fun competition, and social-emotional growth through activities like our upcycling Mela.
- High School: We offer the IB Diploma Program and the American High School Diploma. Our university counseling is comprehensive, connecting students with over 60 global institutions each year.
The Campus Experience
We operate on a fully air-purified campus, maintaining an indoor AQI below 50, so that learning and play can happen safely year-round. Our facilities include black-box theatres, swimming pools, tennis courts, and robotics labs. But the real strength of AES is the people. With teachers hired from around the world and a student body representing over 70 countries, your child isn't just learning subjects; they are learning how to be a global citizen in a diverse, inclusive environment.
American Embassy School
We are a home for families from across the globe, right here in the heart of Delhi. Whether it is our middle schoolers designing robots or high schoolers navigating the university fair, we nurture an environment where every student truly belongs.
