==History==
The American School of Quito opened its doors on October 14, 1940 to 162 students.〔"(History )" ((Archive )). Colegio Americano de Quito. Retrieved on April 4, 2015.〕 It was scheduled to have mixed-sex classes in Kindergarten through first grade. The first directors were Robert E. and Mrs. Hazel J. Tucker, who had just arrived from the United States. The founders of the school lived in a time characterized by the fascist movements in Europe, represented in Ecuador and other South American nations by the German and Italian schools operating there.〔 The two founders wanted to counter this. They had a vision of educating the youth of Ecuador in democratic values〔(Colegio Americao Quito ), DavidGleason.com, retrieved 3 April 2015〕 knowing these students would become the future leaders. Boaz Long, the U.S. minister to Ecuador, helped get supplies from the U.S. to establish the school. The school hired English-speaking, U.S.-educated Ecuadorian teachers to teach civics, geography, history of Ecuador, and Spanish classes, while Americans taught the other classes. The Ecuadorian Ministry of Education cooperated with the foundation of the school. The U.S. and Ecuadorian governments did not have plans to financially aid the school. The school used an educational program derived from the Santa Barbara, California public schools and the Columbia University Lincoln School.〔
In 2011 the American School had over 2,800 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade. Among these students are the children and grandchildren of founding families. The school is co-educational, non-religious and is a non-profit foundation. It is accredited by AdvancED and the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education and Culture. It is recognized by the International Baccalaureate Organization and offers both I.B. Programmes: Middle Years and Diploma. American School graduates can obtain three diplomas: a high school diploma accredited in the United States, the Ecuadorian Bachillerato and the I.B. Diploma.
