About
Head of School Welcome
Welcome
At AOA, in the classroom from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade and Post Graduate, our curriculum is designed to develop students’ critical thinking skills and their creative thinking skills. As a result, AOA graduates are able to thrive in college and in their professional careers thereafter to a greater degree than students from other schools.
AOA is an extraordinary place. Our world-class faculty understands that education must go beyond simple “content mastery”. An AOA education is designed to cultivate a curious mind – to engage students in inquiry-based learning – to develop students’ ability to solve problems in new and unique ways. In short, AOA is the school where students in grades PK-12 learn to think creatively.
At AOA students learn and develop within an authentic global context that few schools can match. Our program is as ambitious as our students – beginning with students as young as pre-kindergarten age and moving up through the high school years. Our community also has the multicultural and international breadth to match that ambition. Fed by a robust boarding program in grades 7-12 and PG, the AOA student body is made up of students from 22 countries, 8 states, and 2 territories.

The best way to really understand why AOA would be such an incredible educational setting for your child is to come and visit the school. While our web site will give you a general overview, I invite you to experience and feel all that our school has to offer you and your family by visiting our gorgeous 300-acre campus. I hope that I will have the chance to meet you and tell you about Andrews Osborne Academy in person soon. In the meantime, if I can answer any questions, or be of any assistance during your decision making process, please don’t hesitate to contact me at lgoodman@andrewsosborne.org.
