The Anglo-American School in Sofia (AAS) was founded in 1967 in Sofia under the sponsorship of the American and British embassies to meet the educational needs of children from the United States and the United Kingdom. It is a private secular school without affiliation to any religious denomination, political party or interest group. In 2005 the school was incorporated by virtue of an Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Government of the United States of America.
