The perfect place

to educate your child

The recent construction of our 30.000 square meter school campus adheres to the highest architectural standards for educational institutions.

We provide a multicultural atmosphere where English is the natural language. A special place that fosters a supportive environment in which character development, the search for values and the challenge of learning are continually encouraged.

Students develop their full potential, sharing the same values that have characterized the Uruguayan American School for the past 47 years: freedom, happiness and respect.

UAS offers choices

The Uruguayan American School is the only school that offers a U.S. diploma which is recognized by both the Uruguayan educational authorities and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (S.A.C.S.) in the United States.

With our Integrated Secondary Program, U.A.S. students have the unique opportunity to choose their academic orientation for tertiary studies beyond high school.

We also offer the Advanced Placement program that allows advanced students to earn college credits while in high school. AP credits are valued highly during the college admissions process and widely-accepted university equivalents that allow exceptional students to complete the traditional U.S. four-year degree in only three years.

After finishing the last year of the Integrated Secondary Program, students may continue their college studies in Uruguay, the United States or many other countries.
