The Alliance Academy International is a private, co-educational, international, Christian school located in Quito, Ecuador, with a curriculum based on a United States program of education. AAI was founded in 1929 as the Alliance Academy, to provide an English-language American education for the children of missionaries of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) and is now an independent school that serves many nationalities in an English immersion setting with a Christian worldview. The academy is located in Iñaquito, a section of north Quito.
Since 1966, AAI has been fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/AdvancED/Cognia) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). The academy is a member of the Association of American Schools in South America [1] and the Southern Association of Independent Schools. It is also a charter member of the Council of Educational Standards & Accountability (CESA). [2] AAI is also certified by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, which results in graduates receiving both Ecuadorian and US diplomas; these fully accredited diplomas are recognized locally, in every university in the US, and around the world. In 2006 AAI became independent of the C&MA and is now an international school that serves both Ecuadorians and expatriates from nearly 30 different countries. [3]
