- The Administration is pleased to report that the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in the USA has now officially accredited our school. We have received interim status and will have up to three years in which to complete a self-study. This will involve additional training for a select number of staff, and the steps involved will be reviewed with our educational community over the next few months.
- We now look forward to the next implementation phase, and we are particularly pleased that in 2010 our students will be able to say that they have graduated from the American School of Ulaanbaatar, a WASC accredited school. This will allow them to apply for entry to most universities of their choice.
The American School of Ulaanbaatar (A.S.U.) was founded in early 2003 by a group of prominent citizens of Mongolia whose vision was to establish an English language elementary and secondary school to provide a truly international program to Mongolian parents and students.
The goal of the school is to enable all residents of Mongolia to have their children educated in the English language with western teaching methods and learning resources at an affordable level. This vision was realized when a 2.5 hectare tract of land in the east south side of Zaisan was acquired and a state of the art complex was designed by architects in cooperation with an international educational consulting company.
In September 2003, A.S.U. entered into an agreement to have Educan Consultants (Ontario) Ltd. based in Canada, collaborate with the school to provide continuing support, advice and assistance in creating and developing an international program and staff.
In May, 2004, the official ground breaking took place and construction began. The school complex was completed in August 2006. The President of Mongolia officially cut the ribbon opening the school on September 1, 2006.
In its first year of operation ASU enrolled 180 pupils and offered a variety of programs from Kindergarten to Grade 8. Now in its third year, ASU has a student population of 340 and an international teaching faculty of 28 from countries such as the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Finland, India, China and Korea.
During the 2007-08 school year, the school was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (W.A.S.C.). The school operates a full Kindergarten to Grade 10 program and will be expanding to include the last two years of high school as our current grade 10 class continues to achieve success.
