International Mindedness is a vital concept that promotes the idea of being responsible and active citizens who contribute positively to our interconnected world. It encompasses several values, such as respect, empathy, and cultural awareness, which empower individuals to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives and deal effectively with global issues. In an International Baccalaureate and Montessori school, International Mindedness is central to our educational philosophy, allowing students to develop an international mindset and appreciate cultural differences while recognizing their shared humanity. Through promoting International Mindedness, students learn to prioritize the common good, take action on global issues, and develop the skills necessary to become leaders of positive change in their communities and beyond.

Amerasia is committed to continually seek ways to ensure the holistic well-being of the entire community. Our approach is symbolized by our special five-petal Amerasia Lotus, which provides a useful framework through which we can reflect on our wellbeing in five areas: Physically, Academically/Professionally, Socially, Emotionally, and Spiritually. Furthermore, as as an accredited Montessori school, authorized IB World School, and peace education organization, QAIS is committed to and encourages respect for human rights and dignity. QAIS believes that every child enrolled in school activities has the right to enjoy a safe environment. We embrace the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states that all children have a right to protection from harm. It is our duty and obligation to safeguard those for whom we are given responsibility.

OUR CHILD PROTECTION DECLARATION:

QAIS aims to be a safe-haven for children and is committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that will ensure protection of their physical and emotional well-being at all times while under our care.

At Amerasia, we are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience that encourages and empowers students to strive for intellectual growth, critical thinking, and a strong foundation of content knowledge, concepts, and skills. Our dedicated team of Montessori and IB educators fosters a stimulating environment where students are inspired to continually challenge themselves and reach their full potential. Through rigorous academic programs, innovative teaching methodologies, and a focus on individualized learning, we cultivate a culture of excellence that inspires a passion for lifelong learning while preparing our students for future success at university and beyond.

Creativity is the heartbeat of the educational philosophy at Amerasia, which is crucial for the holistic development of our students. We provide a nurturing environment that encourages students to explore their imagination, think outside the box, and express themselves in unique and innovative ways. Through various artistic endeavors, hands-on projects, and a multitude of opportunities for self-expression, we aim to nurture the creative spirit in each student. Our dedicated faculty and staff understand the importance of creativity in problem-solving, critical thinking, and promoting personal growth. We empower students to embrace their individuality, take risks, and celebrate their own creative endeavors, allowing them to develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

The Amerasia Diversity Pledge: We, the Amerasia community, believe in embracing and celebrating diversity as a core value of who we are. Every student, staff member, and parent deserves to be treated with dignity and respect at all times. Our school was founded on the principles of honoring differences, developing global citizenship and promoting respect for all life. As a community, it is imperative that we show solidarity and constant vigilance to ensure that our speech, gestures, and actions always include, embrace, and celebrate one’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical attributes, disability, age, or socio-economic status. We strive to create equitable systems, policies, and practices so that everyone in the Amerasia community can thrive, and our love and respect for one another allows us to bring our vision of a peaceful world one step closer to fruition.
