The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a non-profit, volunteer, self-funding entity whose mission is to enhance the #ASHexperience for our students and their families.
Our primary goal is to support existing school initiatives and provide additional resources for new programs and projects in three important areas: welcoming our new ASH families; supporting curriculum and student/teacher development through Friends of ASH committees; and organizing special events and activities that help raise funds for the PTO.
As a self-sustaining and multicultural educational support organization, the PTO considers every ASH parent a valuable partner with talents, skills, and knowledge to contribute.
The Spirit Wear Store, the exclusive supplier for officially licensed ASH merchandise, carries authentic gear to show your Trojan school spirit! All sales proceeds support PTO sponsored school programs. Order online here or stop by the store, located in the main campus next to the middle school office, Monday-Friday 15:00-16:00 or by appointment.
MasterClass is a personal development program designed to bring you short courses and practical training in parental education, health and wellness, personal safety and fitness, languages, and first aid. Led by professional teachers and knowledge experts in their fields, this program offers enrichment for the ASH community.
The PTO helps to build and support the ASH community by welcoming new families and helping them get settled and thrive in the Netherlands. Through practical information at weekly gatherings, including presentations on driving and biking, shopping, healthcare and traveling, we help newcomers settle into our community. The PTO also organizes community events, such as International Day.
The PTO works to support our programs in the Arts (art, music, & drama), STEM (science, technology, engineering & maths), and Humanities (sustainability, teacher appreciation, student socials, field days and more).
