Earlier this week, our Grade 11 students participated in the College Application Kick-Off Retreat, and it was an incredible day of learning and growth!

From drafting personal statements to exploring “best-fit” universities and engaging in mock interviews, our students took their first big steps toward their academic futures. The energy, focus, and determination they brought to each session were truly inspiring!

A big thank you to our educators and staff who made this day impactful and memorable. Let’s continue to cheer on our juniors as they embark on this exciting journey!

We were thrilled to welcome the brilliant David Walliams to ASB for a morning filled with laughter, creativity, and invaluable lessons!

Our students, ranging from grades 3 to 12, were captivated as David brought his stories to life. He read excerpts from his beloved books, enacted scenes with humor and flair, and answered questions with insight and wit. It was an unforgettable experience that combined the magic of storytelling with meaningful life lessons.

Through his visit, David reminded us of the profound power of literature—not just to entertain, but to teach the beauty of self-expression. His engaging approach inspired our students to dream big, embrace their creativity, and value the art of storytelling.

We’re grateful for this remarkable opportunity and the spark of imagination it ignited across our community. Thank you, , for leaving us with a renewed love for reading and learning!

Our 3rd graders took learning outdoors! On a short hike through Maharashtra Nature Park, they sharpened their observation skills and explored how animals adapt to survive in the wild. As part of their “Sharing the Planet” unit, they made fascinating discoveries and sparked their curiosity about the natural world.

Scenes from both our campuses…. First day back and the energy is unmatched!

Laughter in the halls, creativity in the classrooms, and excitement everywhere—it’s good to be home. Let’s make the second half of the 2024-25 school year unforgettable!

The unit on Sharing the Planet brought our Kindergarten and Grade 2 students together for a hands-on exploration of nature!

From becoming plant detectives to crafting bug hotels with recycled materials, our young learners delved into the wonders of the environment. They observed leaves, flowers, seeds, and beans to create stunning drawings and awareness posters. Some even built nature-inspired structures using wooden blocks!

This meaningful collaboration not only deepened their understanding of plants and sustainability but also fostered a beautiful bond between the two grades.
