The American School in London (ASL) is an international, private, independent K-12 school in St John's Wood, London, England for students aged between 4 and 18 years.

History

The school was established in 1951 by journalist Stephen Eckard. It was first situated in Eckard's home, and was a school primarily for 13 students.

Visitors to the school have included U.S. Presidents Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama during their visits to London.[1]

According to the Good Schools Guide, eighty per cent of the 1,350 students hold US passports, and half of those are multi-passport holders from dual national families.[2]

A 2013 Ofsted inspection report rated ASL as "outstanding" in all fields inspected.[3]
