The American School of Paris (ASP), established in 1946, is a coeducational, independent international school in Saint-Cloud, France, in the Paris metropolitan area.
The school has over 800 students from pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 and post-Bac. On a private 4-hectare (10.5 acre) campus on the edge of Paris, ASP provides an American education to an international student body of more than 60 nationalities.
ASP is organized into three divisions: Lower School (Early Childhood through Grade 5, or 3âÂÂ10 years old), Middle School (Grades 6-8, or ages 11âÂÂ13) and Upper School (Grades 9-12 and post-Bac, or 14âÂÂ18 years old). Approximately one-third of the students are American, and 17% are French. The other half of the students come from over 50 countries.
In the 21st century, the school underwent modernization. A capital campaign culminated in 2018 with the inauguration of a purpose-built campus in Saint-Cloud. The renovation included the creation of "The Greentop" (a community sports garden), new STEAM and design labs, and specialized centers for the arts and filmmaking.
The American School of Paris is a private, non-profit institution (organized as an association loi 1901 in France). The school is governed by a parent-elected Board of Trustees.
