Our Story
A recent conversation with a young, thriving AES alumnus demonstrates the power of an AES education.
A recent conversation with a young, thriving AES alumnus demonstrates the power of an AES education. This alumnus was surprised to hear from friends who graduated from other top-performing schools in Delhi and elsewhere that they remembered the pursuit of achievement and the pressure to perform, but couldn't recall many specific people, places, or details; they didn't recall much joy.
A big contrast to what our AES alumnus remembers: He says he remembers every single day. He remembers the classes, the labs, the teachers, the positive emotions, the names, the friends, the faces. He remembers every corner of the AES campus, including the classrooms, which felt personal and rich.
We've all read stories we quickly forgot or that we would rather forget. But our children's international adventures, their friendships and mentors, all the sensory wonders of India and campus, their sense of belonging to our AES family—all are foundational memories we want them to carry for a lifetime.
Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve.
The AES story leaves an imprint on people because we believe that excellence in education and service is a joyful pursuit. Joy creates an environment in the heart and mind that makes both the experience and the learning stick for a lifetime.
That's the story that matters to us, and we're sticking with it: we, and thousands of AES alumni the world over.
