Daryani Family
Nicky Daryani '96 has a long history with ASD. He was part of the graduating class of 1996, is a current ASD parent, and has recently been appointed the Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees. We asked him a few questions about his favorite memories and his advice for the upcoming graduates....
Sustainability Summit

Student-Centered Learning

ASD is committed to academic excellence; providing an international perspective and a
comprehensive education; and preparing every student to be future ready.

Early Learning

The PreK (3-year-old), K1 (4-year-old), and K2 (5-year-old) program at ASD is a Reggio-Emilia-inspired, flexible learning environment.
