Become a Tiger!

Our Mission

The mission of the American Nicaraguan School is to provide an innovative and dynamic education so that our students realize their full leadership potential, achieve academic excellence, and make meaningful and ethical contributions to a global society.

Our Vision

We define learning as the agency to honor your curiosity and engage in the rigor of authentic and complex problems, working together to find solutions in an inclusive and collaborative community.  We believe that when we have agency and rigor, our learning transcends time and space, taking us out into a future we create together.

Our Core Values

Allows students to invest time and energy into examining more deeply a specific topic or issue. 
Allows students to explore in multiple ways the processes and products of human creativity, and to consider their impact on society and the mind.
Develop students' awareness of their interdependence with the environment so that they understand and accept their responsibilities.
It starts in the classroom and extends beyond it, requiring students to take an active part in the communities in which they live.
Allows students to better understand the world around us.  Students may grapple with the interconnectedness of environment, politics, society, ethics or any number of global issues that impact the world.
Alows each student to explore the impact one makes on society.   The aim is to develop in students a sense of responsibility for their own actions and create a path for future areas of ethical growth.
