The education of our children is one of the most relevant tasks that we carry out as parents with great responsibility, a significant investment and a brave challenge facing new horizons.

The modern winds of globalization, the incessant technical scientific advances and the growing demands in all the paths of life in which we are immersed in this third millenium have determined that the new citizens must be enriched with vast and specialized information as well as values and principles that strengthen the man and woman of the new era.

Faced with the duty of educating our children so that they can overcome the inevitable challenges, formation in the family and school is still the most appropriate tool serving the state and the society to form efficient citizens. Therefore, the Colegio American has restated its mission in 2001 as follows:

"Our mission is to form bilingual, proactive, successful citizens on the personal, professional and social levels. They will be capable of assuming their obligations responsibly and ethically with academic leadership and multi-cultural tolerance in a highly competitive world."

The Colegio Americano K-12 School is precisely one of the institutions that contribute to the preparation of high school graduates who are presently in demand at both national and foreign universities. Its abundant experience during sixty-two years and the thousands of triumphant youth who have graduated from its classrooms are a testimonial of the success achieved. Among other aspects, this is due to the functional infrastructure, the professional national and foreign teaching staff, the excellent teaching of the English language, the International Baccalaureate program, the agreements with universities, acceptance of studies and granting of scholarships and to the extracurricular artistic and sports activities.

Those who have chosen to graduate from the Colegio Americano de Guayaquil experiment great academic satisfaction, and they satisfy their expectations and build solid bases for a successful professional life. Welcome!
