Schutz Assessment Philosophy and Practices

Schutz is a school where enthusiasm for learning and being part of a respectful, caring family community are at the core of who we are. Our motto, “Schutz is Family,” is more than just words; it’s the foundation of our culture.

As an IB PYP school, we take great pride in offering a student-centered program that nurtures the growth and development of our elementary students as both learners and community members. Our elementary school fosters a supportive, family-like atmosphere, while maintaining high expectations for academic achievement and behavior.

Each classroom is a vibrant community of learners. Through inquiry-based learning, students explore the world, think critically and creatively, and embrace challenges with a growth mindset. They are empowered to reach their fullest potential in an environment where the Learner Profile—respect, responsibility, resilience, compassion, and integrity—is woven into all aspects of school life. At Schutz, we inspire students to love learning and thrive in a culture of care and excellence.

At Schutz American School, parents are valued parents in learning.  Regular communication helps support parent involvement and home connections in both learning and school activities.

Our strong commitment to empower all of our students to pursue their passions as confident global citizens is what makes Schutz a stand out from other schools.
