Today marks the first day of AP testing. Due to school closures around the world, the tests have been modified. They have been shortened to 45 minutes, the multiple choice section has been eliminated and the tests are being hosted at one time internationally. To read more about the effects on students, click the link in our bio.

The coronavirus pandemic is disrupting communities

The coronavirus pandemic is disrupting communities around the world - ours included. We are all experiencing a new reality as we near one month since the school’s closure.
In the spirit of reflecting on our situation, and taking time to hear each other’s stories, The Standard is excited to release the Coronavirus Special Edition.

Bored during quarantine on this Monday afternoon?

Bored during quarantine on this Monday afternoon? Help the alumni office celebrate Founder's Day 2020! (Did you also know that every April, ASL honors its founder, Stephen Eckard (ASL 1951-71), and the anniversary of the school’s launch in 1951? To celebrate this year’s Founder’s Day, and ASL’s 69th birthday, we are calling on everyone in our community to help (and to sing!). Last year, lower school teacher Bronagh Coakley (ASL 2017-present) composed an original tune, Once an Eagle, for the Grade 4 promotion ceremony, that is now the official ASL school song. We invite students, faculty, staff and alumni to record a short, landscape video singing it while wearing orange and black. These videos will be compiled in a big media project that will be unveiled community-wide on Founder's Day, 21 April. Family members and pets are welcome to participate too! No singing experience required. The deadline for submission is Monday, 6 April. To learn the song and lyrics, please refer to the Founder's Day page on ASL's website. Questions to Alumni Director Libby Jones.

After the school closure March 14, students have been allowed to return to school in staggered groups from March 16-18 to collect any personal belongings. To minimize the number of people in the building, families were sent a schedule allocating specific times slots depending on their last name. Faculty are still able to attend school during this time to finalize plans for distance learning but are also able to work from home. • Photos by Isabelle Lhuilier
