Governance

Prior to AAS, the school grounds were previously a Spanish school since 1986. In 2012, a group of founders with a strong commitment to education acquired the school and established Aquinas American School with the support of a network of families and friends. Most of those families are represented both on the Board of Directors, and as parents of current AAS students. A major reason driving all founders was the certainty of the need, in this area, of an excellent Catholic international school. 

Aquinas American School is an independent project, initiated by a group of people with long experience in the educational world. It is a Catholic School not connected to any ecclesial organization, association or movement. We welcome all families who desire a Catholic education for their children and who share the ideals and educational project of the school.
