It is, however, very much an American school. The school takes children aged four through 18 and provides an “American education with a global perspective." The kindergarten classes are inspired by the Reggio Emilia method. The school has been rated “outstanding” across the board by Ofsted. The high school has a great track record for Ivy League placements.[1] HistoryThe school was established in 1951 by journalist Stephen Eckard. It was first situated in Eckard's home, and was a school primarily for 13 students. Visitors to the school have included U.S. Presidents Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama during their visits to London.[2] At a visit to The American School In London, Mr Obama made a short speech in which he talked about the US-UK relationship and the importance of children as the future.[3] According to the Good Schools Guide, 80% of the 1,350 students hold US passports, and half of those are multi-passport holders from dual national families.[4] A 2013 Ofsted inspection report rated ASL as "outstanding" in all fields inspected.[5] In 2011 Walters & Cohen won an invited competition to design a new community arts building for the American School in London. The new building's sculptural quality is fitting to the work that goes on inside. The ground floor provides exhibition space, with art, sculpture, ceramics and photography studios on the upper three floors. An elegant concrete frame provides long span, column-free studio space at all levels, bringing in daylight from the north and south and creating a flexible, spacious and comfortable environment in which pupils can develop their art.[6] About 20 years ago the school brought in architectural practice Orms to look at a masterplan for the school's future development. The 15-year plan was aimed at providing more sports facilities, more science teaching space and better facilities for the arts. These two projects – a swimming pool and sports centre by Orms and an arts building by Walters & Cohen won via an invited competition in 2011 – complete this masterplan, marking the final chapter in this phase of the school's development.[7] Current and former heads
