LOWER SCHOOL FAQ


Q: Is there a lunch program for Lower School students? 

A: ASP Lower School students in grades K5 - Grade 5 can either enjoy the Hot Lunch Program provided by our French chefs or they can bring with them to school each day a packed lunch from home. The dedicated Lower School Cafeteria has several microwaves to allow children with packed lunches to heat up food brought from home with supervision.

Q: Is there a Required Summer Reading List?

A: As the library supports "just right" reading (books are selected according the child’s reading ability), we encourage our K-4 students to come to the library with or without parents and we will establish a personalized "just right" summer reading list. Indeed librarians and booksellers around the world will always be able to suggest great "just right" books and magazines for your children! Please contact us if you have any questions.
