American School of Bombay

In 1981, a group of international parents, started the American School of Bombay with 12 students in a room at the American Consulate. In November 1998, the school moved to its current campus in Bandra (a Mumbai suburb). In 1998 it began implementing the International Baccalaureate courses. ==Curriculum==

The American School of Bombay follows a college preparatory program that culminates with an American high school diploma (ASB Diploma) or the International Baccalaureate diploma (IB Diploma). ASB was authorized in 1998 as an IB World School implementing an international curriculum. It is also accredited by the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation in the US. ==Campus==

The school includes a "Sensory Learning Hub" in the elementary section, where students who have had a large amount of stimulus may take periods to calm themselves. ==Special programs==

In September 2015 a mother of an ASB student created the Writer's Club as a social club for ASB parents, with seven members at the time. By 2017 there were 35 members. ==Educational technology==

In the middle and high school all students in grades 6-12 use laptops as a tool to support and enhance their learning throughout the curriculum. The facilities include a campus-wide wireless network. The one-to-one program in the Elementary School provides access in a 1-to-1 laptop ratio for grades 1-3 and an appropriate student-to-laptop ratio for PreK to KG. The school implements a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program letting students bring their own devices to school. ==Accreditation==
