Company Profile
Company Overview
The American Embassy School is located in the heart of the diplomatic community of New Delhi. The School campus is spread over twelve acres. The buildings have been designed to blend into a small rocky hill which lends a friendly, informal atmosphere to the school. Housing facilities accommodate 34 faculty families on campus. While new elementary and middle school facilities were completed in 1999, the high school is currently being expanded to accommodate additional students.
AES has a strong international character. Although about 35 per cent of our 1473 students in nursery to twelfth grade are Americans, the majority of our students represent some 53 nationalities. Children of embassy personnel, world organizations, non-governmental organization officials and international business people attend AES. We prize the diversity of cultures represented in our student body.
The school is governed by a seven member Board of Governors, elected by the parents and the faculty for a two year term. In addition to the seven elected members, the American Ambassador appoints two non-voting members to the Board. Teacher, student and parent representatives also attend Board of Governors meetings.
Company History
Sixty years ago twelve students shared a room in a building called the Taj Barracks and the American Embassy School was launched. At that time it was called the American School and a few years later the American International School.
When the school relocated to the present campus in 1973, it became AES and we now serve almost 1500 students. Throughout all those years AES has been committed to providing a quality education and preparing young people to lead and advocate for a better world.
