The American School in London (ASL) is an international, private, independent K-12 school in St John's Wood, London, England for students aged between 4 and 18 years.
The school was established in 1951 by journalist Stephen Eckard. It was first situated in Eckard's home, and was a school primarily for 13 students.
Visitors to the school have included U.S. Presidents Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama during their visits to London.
According to the Good Schools Guide, eighty per cent of the 1,350 students hold US passports, and half of those are multi-passport holders from dual national families.
A 2013 Ofsted inspection report rated ASL as "outstanding" in all fields inspected.
