Principal’s Message

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year at the American School of Ulaanbaatar! The Secondary School of ASU is excited to welcome new and returning families, as our faculty and staff prepare for us to have another successful year in academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and continuance in striving for excellence in all that we do as a community of lifelong learners.

At the secondary school, we hone in on building up our students with their foundational skills they have acquired since their time in elementary. We commit ourselves to building our students’ sense of self, ownership, and belonging in order to foster our core values as a school: student choice. A school is a community of lifelong learners, and from year to year, we build upon a child’s foundational knowledge of not only the learning standards, but just as importantly, their understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world around them to make it a better place.

Our school motto is Home of Future Leaders, and while we are always proud to see our graduates make a life of their own as they connect with people from all around the globe, we also greatly look forward to their return to Mongolia as they become the innovative, determined, and aspiring leaders of tomorrow.

The ASU Secondary School faculty and staff commits itself to our students, their achievements, and their well-being. Thank you for your ongoing support to allow this to be possible.

Let’s have a great academic year together!

Mr. Tom A. Kaualoku, M.S. Ed.
Secondary School Principal
