UAS provides an English language educational program based on a North American educational philosophy. All classes are taught in English, except Spanish language courses and those that are a part of the Uruguayan Program. UAS teachers are either native English-Speakers or fully bilingual English and Spanish speakers.
Our population represents more than 35 nationalities, including our host country of Uruguay. The teaching faculty is composed of certified international educators from the United States, Uruguay, and 10 other countries. At UAS differences in culture, religion, nationality, language, physical ability and appearance are embraced and celebrated.
At UAS we believe that a superior education develops students’ academic, physical, social, emotional and artistic potential. At our core, our program offers the opportunity for students to take multiple arts & technology electives, character education lessons and outdoor education programs. Our counselors work with students, parents, teachers, and administrators to ensure the optimal development of every student’s academic, personal and social potential.
UAS prepares our students for their future, rather than for the present or for the world in which educators were raised. For this reason, we infuse technology into classroom instruction from Early Childhood through High School. Students learn to use Mac and Windows platforms on multiple devices.
Using the Google Applications for Education suite, UAS students learn to work efficiently and collaboratively online. Through coding and programming units of study and robotics, students learn to create and innovate with technology.
The Uruguayan American School is a multicultural, academically challenging learning community that prepares students to be responsible global citizens and lifelong learners through a very complete U.S, international and Uruguayan curricula. Founded in 1958, we provide a unique program taught nearly exclusively in English for children from Nursery to Grade 12 where respect, acceptance and moral integrity are defining beliefs of our institutional culture. UAS’s unique, engaging and multicultural education prepares students for success. We empower students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to pursue their dreams wherever they may lead them.
