American International School of Guangzhou, China

Starting a new school can feel scary. For Ethan, Grade 2, that feeling changed the moment he arrived.

Before the day even began, Mr. Baker was already waiting at the door to welcome him in. A small moment that made AISG feel like family.

45 years of firsts.

For the past two years, Eddie Liang’s Monday morning “Mehhhhh 🐏” echoed through AISG’s Science Park campus, sparking smiles (and imitations!) from Lower Secondary students. While playful, Eddie is all focus when it comes to his goals — pursuing a double degree in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering. His journey taught him a simple truth: rankings don’t define you. Thanks for the memories, Eddie — next stop: fun, fun, fun! 🎓✨

In June, AISG recognizes Pride Month as a time to honor diversity, inclusion, and the importance of creating a school environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. This month serves as a reminder of our commitment to fostering kindness, empathy, and equality, ensuring all members of our community feel safe to be their authentic selves.

Every story begins with a first. The story of the American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) is no different.

Before the milestones, achievements, and impact, there were first days, first classrooms, first friendships, and first moments.

For 45 years, those beginnings have shaped our school, our learning, our community, and the impact we continue to make together.

As AISG prepares to celebrate 45 years, we’re inviting our community to look back on where their story began.
