The American School Rotterdam or using it's full name, the American International School of Rotterdam (also known as AISR), was established in 1959 to serve the local and international expatriate populations in the greater Rotterdam area.

The school is an independent, non-sectarian, non-profit, coeducational day school that offers a quality educational program from pre-kindergarten (age 3) through to grade 12 (age 18) for students of all nationalities with a desire to learn through English. The school is located in the north-eastern part of Rotterdam in the attractive suburban area of Hillegersberg.

The curriculum is that of U.S. College preparatory private schools. Instruction is in English. French (3-12), Spanish (6-12) and Dutch (PK-12) are taught as foreign languages. Computer, art, drama, music, physical education, library classes and swimming are taught by specialists. An intensive English as a Second Language program (ESL) is also offered. The Early Childhood and Elementary Schools offer the widely renowned International Primary curriculum (IPC). The high school offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. The School was re-accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and by the European Council of International Schools in 2000 and is currently undergoing the 10 year re-accreditation process. The School is a member of Northwest European Council of International Schools (N.E.C.I.S.) for sports, science/art fairs, and other student activities as well as European Council of International Schools (ECIS) for teacher/staff development.
