The American School Foundation of Guadalajara (ASFG) is a private, non-profit, secular day school in the Providencia district of Guadalajara offering a bilingual and bicultural education from Nursery to Grade 12. Its roots go back to 1908, when a school was opened for the children of American railway workers in the city, and the present foundation was legally established as a civil association in 1956. Today the school serves Mexican, American and international families from more than 30 countries. About four fifths of teaching is in English, following a U.S. curriculum, and the rest in Spanish through the official Mexican programme, so students leave with both American and Mexican credentials. ASFG has held U.S. accreditation from Cognia, formerly AdvancED/SACS CASI, since 1965; its early childhood, elementary and middle school programmes are incorporated with the Jalisco and federal education authorities, and its high school studies are validated by UNAM. The school belongs to ASOMEX and the Tri-Association, is assisted by the U.S. State Department's Office of Overseas Schools, and hosts its own Model United Nations conference, GUAMUN.
