We believe in an expansive definition of what it means for kids to develop into who they are and who they can be, valuing both their essential health and goodness and their ability to take effective action in a dynamic new world.

At AFS, we integrate four essential elements in every student’s experience:

Voice: We develop initiative, clarity of thinking, engagement and leadership.
Intention: We nurture reflection, values, discernment and a rich inner life.
Relevance: We hone skills and orient our students toward high quality work in a resource-rich world.
Connection: We build strong roots and deep relationships
