Leading Global Citizens
The American School of Asunción (ASA) is strategically positioned as a key contributor to the internationalization of Paraguay. It provides an environment where rigorous American educational standards and a deep appreciation for global citizenship are fully integrated, serving as a vital bridge connecting Paraguay to the world.
ASA’s international reputation has grown significantly in recent years. Our graduates are increasingly recognized by top universities worldwide for their academic preparation and leadership, and our strong values-based culture sets us apart. Beyond academics, ASA is seen as a school that develops well-rounded global citizens. Through active participation in regional and international networks, we have shifted from being known primarily as a strong local school to being recognized as a leading international school in Latin America.

From Paraguay to the Global Stage
The American School of Asunción proudly serves as a global ambassador for Paraguay, elevating the country’s profile through excellence in education, innovation, and leadership. Through premier co-curricular programs—including our Robotics, Model United Nations (MUN), and Debate teams—ASA students regularly compete and collaborate with top international institutions. Every time our delegates, innovators, and scholars step onto the world stage, they showcase the exceptional talent, ambition, and potential of Paraguay's youth.
At ASA, our standout clubs offer students rich opportunities to compete, collaborate, and connect globally. Partnerships with schools in Argentina and Brazil have strengthened debate through joint workshops, while MUN has taken students as far as the United States, immersing them in cultural diplomacy. Robotics has been especially impactful, with ASA Teams representing not only the school but Paraguay at International competitions in Singapore and The Netherlands.

Empowering Global Access: Personalized College & Career Guidance
At ASA, we provide dedicated support and crucial access points so every student can confidently pursue global higher education. Our experienced, full-time College Counseling team offers exclusive, individualized support throughout the university application process. From selecting target programs and navigating entrance requirements to crafting competitive applications, we ensure students are fully prepared to attend top-tier institutions worldwide.
We are immensely proud of our oldest son, who recently graduated from ASA. The guidance he received during his last two years of high school was absolutely crucial. The college counseling team not only understood the rigor required to apply to highly demanding universities, but also provided personalized guidance every step of the way. Today, he is attending one of the top engineering schools in Texas—a milestone that reflects both the quality of his academic preparation at ASA and his personal dedication.
