It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the American College of Guayaquil; whether you are a parent or school student, alumni, or even get in touch with us for the first time in search of a quality educational environment for your child, I hope that this website will meet your needs.

Our school is independent, co-education, international, and therefore multicultural. We are a bilingual school where English and Spanish languages are the basis of education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Despite our international status and our curriculum American style, we maintain a close relationship with our host country, and in fact most of our students are Ecuadorian, when grade 12 is completed, they continue successfully studying either in Ecuador or out of the country.

Academic success is very important in our school. Our programs are demanding, and lead to the International Baccalaureate Diploma at 11th and 12th grades. To achieve this success, the environment and climate are the key factors and we are proud of our family-type community where respect, personal responsibility, self-discipline, joy in learning, and educational experience in its broadest sense, is actively encouraged.

Although nothing can replace a personal visit to the school, I am confident that during your journey through our website you will find ample evidence center based on solid educational principles whose objective is the formation and development of young students, who are gifted with knowledge and skills needed to play a successful role in society and continue on the path of lifelong learning. For more information or to arrange a visit to our school, please do not hesitate to contact us. I hope to meet you soon.
