The Director's Hub
Welcome to the American Embassy School, New Delhi
Dear Friends,
This is an exciting time to be joining the AES community as we continue to embrace our mission to provide “a balanced education defined by a joyful pursuit of excellence.” We are thrilled you are joining us as we pursue our long-held core values of building community and creating a sense of belonging for every child, teacher, staff member, and family. At the same time, we have a clear vision for our future including a new strategic plan and several important capital projects aimed at transforming our campus into a “school of the future.”
Educating children has never been more important amidst the backdrop of disruptive technologies and shifting global politics. Achieving success as a learning community will require all of us to partner together and rally around our shared values even as we welcome and celebrate the differences that make us strong and resilient.
Please explore our website, and learn all you can about the many opportunities our school has to offer students and their families. We are proud of our exceptional teachers, inspired by the incredible strength of our student body. We are excited to share with you everything that makes the American Embassy School an exceptional place to learn.
I look forward to meeting each of you as we navigate this important journey together,
Rand Harrington—Director, AES.
