Empowering Students to Become Architects of Their Futures

Home About Us Vision, Mission & Values
Every Child Possesses an Innate Entrepreneurial Spirit Waiting to Be Awakened

American World School was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: every child possesses an innate entrepreneurial spirit waiting to be awakened. In a world rapidly transformed by innovation and technology, we recognized that traditional education needed to evolve.

We asked ourselves a fundamental question: What if we could prepare children not just to navigate the future, but to actively create it?

This question became our calling. Today, American World School stands as a pioneering institution where entrepreneurship isn’t just a subject — it’s a way of thinking, learning, and engaging with the world.

Our Mission & Vision

Guiding everything we do at American World School

Our Mission

American World School empowers students to learn about entrepreneurship by launching startups or cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset. We accomplish this through the acclaimed Kidspreneur ESTEAM Framework and our WASC accreditation. This powerful synergy within our team propels our school and students toward becoming influential change-makers and innovators.

Our Vision

We envision a generation of 21st century thinkers — confident, creative, and capable of transforming their world. At American World School, we awaken the entrepreneurial spirit within each child, inspiring them to become architects of their futures. We believe that when students discover their power to create, innovate, and lead, they develop not just business skills, but life skills that transcend every endeavor they pursue.

What Makes Us Different

A unique blend of innovation, accreditation, and real-world experience

The Kidspreneur ESTEAM Framework

Our educational approach centers on the innovative Kidspreneur ESTEAM Framework — a comprehensive methodology that integrates Entrepreneurship, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Our students don’t just learn about business; they launch real startups, solve genuine problems, and experience firsthand what it means to turn ideas into reality.

WASC Accreditation

Our commitment to excellence is validated through WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation. This prestigious recognition ensures that while we pioneer new approaches to education, we maintain the highest standards of academic rigor and institutional quality.

Real-World Experience

Walk through our hallways and you’ll witness something extraordinary: young minds pitching business ideas, prototyping solutions, conducting market research, and learning from both successes and failures. Our students engage with mentors, develop financial literacy, and understand that every challenge is an opportunity for innovation.
