The American School of Bangkok seeks to "create and instill values in youth" . In doing this, we offer a quality modern education based on an American curriculum with an international perspective. From here a solid educational and emotional foundation will be laid for our students, so that they will grow up to become successful and responsible adults. Our challenging curriculum, constantly updated, ensures a student's intellectual development and upon graduation they will be ready for university-level education.

The school also hopes to embed a deep sense of discipline, responsibility, family and social values, and concern for our community and environment.  It is also a place where teachers and fellow students provide support and friendship for one another.  They are encouraged to excel not only in the academics but also in the areas of creativity, sports and performing arts. In this way they can build self-confidence while maintaining modesty and respect for others.

Our multicultural environment allows our students to understand and appreciate differences in cultures, lifestyles, and beliefs. The school seeks to develop a global perspective and a lasting commitment to international understanding and harmony.

All of this is to ensure that our students are intellectual and creative and at the same time happy and healthy. The school is dedicated to providing the best curriculum, faculty, learning facilities, and environment so that our students will acquire their highest potential at the American School of Bangkok. The motto of our school is "Building Leadership".
