AAS Voices

Faculty

Greeting my students with enthusiasm in the morning, and seeing their "aha" moments throughout the day brings me immense joy.

Ms. Kath HarjulaGr. 1 Teacher

Faculty

What brings me the most joy in my job is witnessing my students realize their potential and achieve their goals. Engaging in deep conversations across a wide range of topics and subjects with my students enriches both their learning experience and my own professional fulfillment.

Dr. John DanaherHS Science Teacher

Faculty

AAS is filled with really beautiful people; lovely, dedicated, professional colleagues and fantastic, happy students! I also think the campus is absolutely stunning. Bulgaria is a wonderful place to work and to live. I spend as much time as I can in the mountains of Bulgaria.

Ms. Jude LittleGr. 4 Teacher

Instructional Coach

Always Maslow before Bloom. Children are impressionable and we are in the job of moulding the generation of tomorrow. Establishing strong relationships and knowing each student's unique personality, are key to fostering a conducive learning environment. 

Ms. Blessy MonicaPreK-12 Instructional Coach

AAS Sofia is a place where dedication to teaching meets a community of lifelong learners, where the positivism and creativity of the teachers are like nowhere else, and where students are supported in their journey.

Ms. Mitra DimovaBFL K-5 Teacher

I came for the job and stayed for my family. The AAS Community provides me with a great working environment and has given my family many opportunities and support that we would otherwise not have.

Mr. Ian HarringtonMS Science Teacher

Student

I'm Alina, I'm Syrian American, and I moved to this school when I was in grade 6! My favourite teachers always make me feel safe enough to ask questions (even if they just explained the answer).

What I value most about the school is the range of opportunities available beyond the classroom. I have been able to try activities such as pottery, dance, knowledge bowl, maths counts, volleyball, basketball, football, and orchestra. 

Eloise H.Grade 12 Student
Father and son

Parent

I was a student at AAS and I am grateful for the window to the world that it opened for me. Now my son is a student at AAS.  While the school provides his foundational education, fosters his critical thinking, and helps develop his social skills, what is most important is that he is very happy to go to AAS every day!

Hope is Better Than Optimism

As a school that values inquiry as a way of teaching and learning, AAS aims to cultivate the innate curiosity that children have. We ask students TONS of questions all day; some are to role model how we show interest in someone else, some are to provoke the students’ thinking further.

Design Your Life

I live in a world of choices.  Choices that are being wrestled with.  Choices that I have to make, but more frequently, choices others are struggling with.  Sometimes it’s the colleagues, students or parents who stop by to talk for just a second; or my family and friends who are choosing between an Option A or B or an unknown Z.
