At AES, we take pride in our diversity. On a daily basis, our students have exposure to people with different backgrounds, cultures, and traditions than their own. This gives them an experience that will enable them to work more successfully in a global society, to understand others’ perspectives, and to develop acceptance. Together, our differences make life rich.
