Alison Bixby Stone School
We believe that if students create, perform and experiment, or solve real-life problems, learning becomes concrete and enjoyable. Our teachers promote active, hands-on learning that reinforces the relevance of what they learn.
At ABSS we have access to Zamorano's experienced faculty, state-of-the-art learning laboratories and athletics facilities. As an integral part of the Zamorano learning community, the students in ABSS develop an environmental awareness.

OUR ACTIVITIES
OUR BEST SERVICES FOR YOUR KIDS
CUSTOM FOOD
Due to our unique location and our closeness to student’s homes, parents are able to bring lunch to school every day. Nevertheless, students have the option to buy snacks at school.
LEARNING TEAMS
Selected students from 1st to 9th grade, receive reinforcement classes from Monday through Thursday.
Zamorano facilities
Students and teachers make use of the Zamorano facilities, including the sports areas (basketball, baseball, softball and tennis courts, soccer field and swimming pool), labs, echo trails, biological reserve area Uyuca, library, and any other open places.
FIELD TRIPS
With the purpose of engaging children and bringing them out of their routines, every grade has educational field trips to places outside Zamorano´s campus. This way, we assure that students may have the opportunity for meaningful educational experiences.
EXTRACURRICULAR
ABSS students can be part of any extracurricular classes such as: Sports (soccer, biking, swimming, traditional games), music (piano, guitar, choir, and band), art, theatre, folkloric and contemporary dance. All classes are given for free and there is a limit of 20 students per class.
LIBRARY
There are two libraries. One for preschool and elementary, and one for middle and high school. Once a week, every class has an hour of library. This is a way to promote reading skills and learn to appreciate a good story books. In this time they are aloud to check out books to read at home.
4H
Youth development after school existed here before we adopted the 4H model. And now that we are transitioning to the 4H model both primary and secondary students will be served better; the model further develops life skills, empowerment, ownership, leadership, responsibility, and citizenship. Learning by doing is one part of our school´s mission and this echoes the 4H motto. We have seven 4H clubs: music, dance, sports, theatre, environment, World Food Prize, gardening and art.
GARDENING
School gardening provides children with opportunities to gain extra outdoor exercise while teaching them useful development skills. Children are able to learn the importance of planting, eating healthy food like vegetables and fruits, they also learn to take care of water and recycle materials for the garden.
World Food Prize
The World Food Prize at Alison Bixby Stone School is one of the 4H clubs on campus. Students take the challenge to become a hunger fighter and a voice for people in need around the world. Students research issues they care about, write an essay and propose their ideas to solve these grand challenges.
