Guardians of Our Mission
Behind every thriving kingdom stands a council of wise guardians. Our Board of Directors is the compass that keeps AWS sailing toward excellence.
In every great story, there are wise counselors who guide the hero's journey. At American World School, our Board of Directors are those counselors, a remarkable group of leaders from education, business, technology, and the arts who volunteer their time, expertise, and hearts to ensure our school remains true to its mission.
They do not run the school day to day. Instead, they set the strategic direction, safeguard our values, and ensure that every decision made at AWS puts students first. They are the keepers of our promise and the champions of our dream.
Each board member brings a unique gift to our school, from decades of industry leadership to a profound passion for education. Together, they form an unshakeable foundation.

Every financial decision is made with transparency and accountability, ensuring resources are invested where they matter most: in the students and their learning experience.
The Board ensures AWS meets all regulatory requirements and maintains the highest ethical standards, creating a safe and fair environment for every member of our community.
Board members actively engage with parents, alumni, and community leaders, ensuring that the school remains responsive to the needs and aspirations of the families it serves.
When I look at the halls of American World School, I do not see a building. I see a thousand stories unfolding. I see the scientist who will cure diseases, the artist who will move hearts, the entrepreneur who will create jobs, and the leader who will bridge divides.
Our Board is committed to ensuring that every child who enters AWS leaves as a confident, capable, and compassionate individual ready to make their mark on the world. This is not just our responsibility; it is our privilege and our greatest joy.
"The best investment a society can make is in the education of its children. At AWS, we make that investment with all our heart." - Mr. Vikram Patel, Chairman
