American School of Correspondence

American School of Correspondence, 2008
Program
The American School is a non-public secondary school and offers its own diploma. It is not a GED program. High school students can complete four years' worth of credits at their own pace, often taking less time than in a traditional high school. All exams in the more than 70 courses offered are hand graded by a qualified staff of full-time and part-time instructors.

College scholarships are awarded annually by the school.

Additionally, the school works with thousands of public, private, and parochial schools throughout the United States to offer distance learning courses to students who have fallen behind in credits, or are working at an accelerated rate. The credits for these correspondence courses are then transferred to the student's high school.


The American School was located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago for many years before moving to the suburb of Lansing, Illinois in 1996. The building which once housed the school in Hyde Park is now considered a Chicago architectural landmark.

American School of Brasília

Escola Americana de Brasília (American School of Brasília or EAB) provides a U.S. and Brazilian accredited pre-K through twelfth grade curriculum. EAB is an English-language school operated using American-style teaching. The school is open to students of all nationalities.[1]

The school was founded in 1961 when Brazil's planned capital Brasília opened. It is a private, coeducational, day school governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Directors.[2] The U.S. Ambassador appoints one member. The school is administered by a headmaster, principals, and a director of Brazilian studies.

Curriculum
The curriculum is college-preparatory. The school is fully accredited by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and the AdvancEd formerly known as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The school is also an authorized IB International Baccalaureate World School. EAB awards the American diploma, the Brazilian diploma and the IB International Baccalaureate diploma. [3]

In 2013-2014 EAB is home to 14 athletic teams, clubs, and other activities. It is said that "If you go home at 3:10 every day, you are not using your tuition wisely.


EAB has also decided to take up a program called "1:1", referring to "one laptop to one student," which was effective starting on January 19, 2015. The program is controversial amongst both students and teachers as there are many difficulties with utilizing it correctly


School Vision
At the American School of Brasilia, each student pursues an excellent academic program in a supportive and nurturing learning environment, whose rigor and relevance is evident through the five pillars of academics, arts, leadership, service learning, and activities.

In an EAB education, our students are:


... provided a differentiated education, that optimizes academic potential ... exposed to the arts, achieving proficiency in at least one area ... provided the opportunity and support to develop as citizen-leaders ... engaged in meaningful and sustainable service learning experiences ... involved in co-curricular activities or sports

King's has its main campus on the Strand in central London, and has three other Thames-side campuses and another in Denmark Hill in south London.[9] Its academic activities are organised into nine faculties which are subdivided into numerous departments, centres and research divisions. King's is the largest centre for graduate and post-graduate medical teaching and biomedical research in Europe; it is home to six Medical Research Council centres and is a founding member of the King's Health Partners academic health sciences centre. It is a member of numerous academic organisations, including the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association and the Russell Group, and forms part of the 'golden triangle' of leading British universities.[10] King's has around 25,000 students and 6,113 staff and had a total income of £604 million in 2013/14, of which £172 million was from research grants and contracts.[1]

The University of Cambridge[note 1] (abbreviated as Cantab in post-nominal letters,[note 2] sometimes referred to as Cambridge University) is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university.[6] It grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk.[7] The two ancient universities share many common features and are often jointly referred to as "Oxbridge". Cambridge is widely regarded as one of the world's most influential and prestigious universities.[8]

Cambridge is formed from a variety of institutions which include 31 constituent colleges and over 100 academic departments organised into six schools.[9] The university occupies buildings throughout the town, many of which are of historical importance. The colleges are self-governing institutions founded as integral parts of the university. In the year ended 31 July 2014, the university had a total income of £1.51 billion, of which £371 million was from research grants and contracts. The central university and colleges have a combined endowment of around £4.9 billion, the largest of any university outside the United States.[10] Cambridge is a member of many associations and forms part of the "golden triangle" of leading English universities and Cambridge University Health Partners, an academic health science centre. The university is closely linked with the development of the high-tech business cluster known as "Silicon Fen".

Students' learning involves lectures and laboratory sessions organised by departments, and supervisions provided by the colleges. The university operates eight arts, cultural, and scientific museums, including the Fitzwilliam Museum and a botanic garden. Cambridge's libraries hold a total of around 15 million books, 8 million of which are in Cambridge University Library which is a legal deposit library. Cambridge University Press, a department of the university, is the world's oldest publishing house and the second-largest university press in the world.[11][12] Cambridge consistently ranks among the world's best universities according to most major university rankings.[13][14][15] Beside academic studies, student life is centred on the colleges and numerous pan-university artistic activities, sports clubs and societies.

Cambridge has many notable alumni, including several eminent mathematicians, scientists, economists, writers, philosophers, actors, politicians, and 90 Nobel laureates who have been affiliated with it.[16] Throughout its history, the university has featured in literature and artistic works by numerous authors including Geoffrey Chaucer, E. M. Forster and C. P. Snow.
