“Being a critical thinker means to use your thinking process and be aware of the different aspects that make you think a certain way. And then apply that thinking process in a real-life situation, and ask yourself questions about what’s happening in the world.”

“When I came to ASH in first grade I didn’t know how to read and speak English. My teachers helped me to learn English, and how to read and write. I made many best friends.”

"This teacher made sure that all the students got to show what they know in the best way they could. Now, I like to ask teachers if I can do something else, because I know how to show my learning best."
