WELCOME TO ASD

HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAY FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear ASD Present & Future Families & Friends,

Let’s embrace what the summer holiday offers us–a time to relax, rejoice, reflect, and recharge.

Here at ASD, even in the heart of the rainy season, the work doesn’t stop. Classrooms are getting a savvy, new look. Educational programs are being enhanced. Our new expat teachers are being onboarded. Parents and students are building upon their language arts skills in summer workshops. Students are staying healthy and fit in our summer sports camps. And, our vast team is fine-tuning every last detail throughout campus. Why? Because when we open our doors on August 25th, we will deliver a school experience that’s stronger, smarter, and sharper than ever before.

Tony, my dogs, and I have been at ASD and in Douala for three years. And, one thing I have learned is the local culture hinges on honesty, trust, and above all respect. Given those three key cultural characteristics, ASD is a brilliant community that embraces those fundamental qualities. I stepped into this role not just to lead, but to listen, to lift, and to enlighten.

ASD is not just a school. It’s a foundation for your childrens’ incredible future.
 

  • A foundation of rigorous, stimulating education.

  • A foundation of bilingual brilliance and global awareness.

  • A foundation of community connectedness. 

  • A foundation of love, support, and recognition for every member. 

  • A foundation for university and career success! 

If you’ve been wondering and watching from afar, now’s the time to lean in and learn more. Our Parent Referral Incentive is in full effect, and our Admissions Office is open all summer long. While our campus is getting a revitalized look, we’re ready to welcome new families. Call us. Email us. Let’s start the conversation about what’s best for your children—and why it should be here at ASD.

And if you catch Tony, Victor, Veronica, or I around the Bonapriso, don’t be a stranger. Whether we’re out walking, talking, or visiting with others, stop and say “Hello.” Share a thought. Share an idea. This is our neighborhood and our school.

Let the rain fall. Let the sun shine. Let the energy grow. The Griffins are on the rise. And, I can’t wait to welcome you back. Stay tuned for more.  

Graciously,

Dr. Brooke
Director
American School of Douala

WHY ASD?

  • The American School of Douala is fully accredited with the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). MSA accreditation means that all aspects of the school meet high international standards, not only our academic program. ASD recently hosted a successful accreditation review this past November 2017.
  • Our rigorous academic program is based on U.S. Common Core Standards. Our teachers design lessons that engage and motivate students, while helping them develop the critical thinking skills that they will need to be successful throughout their lives. We prepare students for the world that will exist after they graduate, not the world as it exists today.
  • We use research based best educational practices and innovative programs to deliver a quality college preparatory curriculum that meets rigorous educational standards. The School prepares students for admission to universities throughout Europe, the United States and Canada, and around the world.
  • ASD provides a multicultural educational environment, where students will learn to be competitive, self-confident, compassionate, and contribute positively to our global community. They will develop an appreciation for learning as a lifelong process.
  • ASD welcomes both Cameroonian and international students from all religious and cultural backgrounds. Support is provided for English language learners. The school is home to students from more than 30 nations across the globe.
  • Graduates of ASD have distinct advantages. As a fully accredited American School, ASD graduates receive an American high school diploma just as if they graduated from a school in the U.S. They can apply to universities in the U.S., Canada, France, or elsewhere with the benefit of having received a solid English-language education.
  • Class sizes are small, so students at ASD receive significant personal attention. The school year begins in mid-August and ends mid-June; the school day runs from 7:50 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ASD provides quality classroom instruction and serves pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students.
  • The school offers diverse extra-curricular activities ranging from competitive sports to computer programming to dance and art. As a member of the West African International Schools Activities League (WAISAL), our sports teams have the opportunity to attend international tournaments as well as play locally.
