Colégio Americano de Quito is a day school for ages 3–18, offering the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP) alongside U.S. college-preparatory standards. It operates two sections: National Section (50% English, 50% Spanish) and International Section (90% English, 10% Spanish). Graduates earn a U.S. high school diploma and an Ecuadorian Bachillerato; the IB Diploma is optional and noted on the transcript. Recognized by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, the IBO, and Cognia, the school was founded in 1939 and opened in 1940, moving to Carcelén in 1983; a new campus is planned. Facilities include a School Stadium, Secondary and Primary Coliseums, multiple soccer fields, indoor courts, outdoor track, and a weight room. The campus supports robotics and computer laboratories, BYOD from grade 6, a secure Wi‑Fi network, and libraries with print and digital resources. Extracurriculars include coding/robotics, book club, diversity club, and extensive arts and music offerings.
