Mission And Vision

The AISG Story

Established in 1981, the American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) was the first international school in southern China and continues to be the longest established not-forprofit international school in Guangzhou. AISG is a multicultural private day school offering an international curriculum guided by American educational values and principles.

We have been part of the Canton community since our founding as a consular school in 1981. What began with seven students from the US Consulate in a single room at the Dong Fang Hotel has now grown into a top-tier international school with over 1,000 students and more than 50 nationalities across two vibrant campuses. Our Er Sha Campus houses our Preschool through Grade 5 students, and our Science Park Campus educates students from Grades 6 through 12.

For forty years, our school has partnered with both the US Consulate and local Chinese government authorities while playing a significant role in the development of Guangzhou. We have given back to the people of the Guangdong community, and we have contributed to the area’s academic community, both international and local. From our humble beginnings, we have developed into the premier international school in the south of China and we are proud of our deep roots in the City of the Rams. We look forward to continuing our leadership role in dynamic, compassionate, and connected learning in one of China’s leading cities.

广州美国人国际学校(AISG)创立于1981年，是华南地区第一所国际学校，也是第一所非营利国际 学校。 AISG是一所多元文化的私立日制学校，提供以美国教育价值观和原则为指导的国际课程。

自1981年作为领事馆学校成立以来，我校一直是广州社区的一员。从东方宾馆一个房间里的7名 美国领事馆学生开始，我校发展成为拥有来自50多个国家及地区的1,000多名学生以及两个校区的 顶级国际学校，其中二沙岛校区为幼儿园和小学部，科学城校区为6-12年级的中学部。

四十年来，我校与美国领事馆及中国当地政府机构密切合作，为广州国际化发展作出巨大贡献。 我们回馈社区，致力于推动国际及国内教育和学术的发展。从志愿者举办的学校发展成为至今华 南地区一流的国际学校，我校为在中国一线城市羊城的深厚根基感到自豪，并茁壮成长为一个动 态、仁爱、互联学习的领导者。
