What Makes Us Unique?

At the American International School of Duhok, we are committed to shaping tomorrow’s leaders. As a PK-12 school, we provide a comprehensive education that encapsulates American educational principles while respecting and embracing the Kurdish society. Our School has been accredited by the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), ensuring the highest standards of education.

We believe in inspiring compassion and nurturing international awareness among our students, preparing them to contribute responsibly to the global community. Our school fosters an environment that celebrates an open exchange of ideas and embraces inclusiveness. We value diversity and believe that every student brings a unique perspective to our learning community.

We take pride in incorporating curricula from the United States, offering our students an authentic American educational experience right here in Kurdistan. With a strong emphasis on writing, creativity, and imagination, we instill in our students the importance of effective communication and critical thinking skills.

To ensure our students’ growth and progress, we utilize MAP assessments, which allow us to measure their academic development. By comparing this data with students in the United States, we gain valuable insights into how our students are measuring up globally. This information enables us to continuously improve our teaching methods and provide the best possible learning experience for our students.

At the American International School of Duhok, we are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically competent but also compassionate, globally aware, and equipped with the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.

Join us on this educational journey as we empower our students to become the leaders of tomorrow. Your future begins here.

In addition to a broad-based American curriculum with a global perspective, high school students will be encouraged to sit for SAT examinations as well as Advanced Placement Examinations. This will allow our graduates to study at the American University of Kurdistan, apply for admission to other national and international universities.
