The Office of Overseas Schools is pleased to announce the addition of three new assisted schools to our roster of schools for 2021-2022. These schools will serve American families in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Dili, Timor-Leste; and London, United Kingdom.
These three schools join an elite group of 194 schools which are non-profit, non-religious, U.S. accredited, independent, private, co-ed establishments at posts across the world. Each post generally has only one assisted school, which are considered the gold standard in American education overseas.
