History
The [http://www.isa.aberdeen.sch.uk/ International School in Aberdeen] was originally created as the American School in Aberdeen (ASA). The American School in Aberdeen was backed by a consortium of oil companies and built to serve the children of US oil employees, Scottish and other foreign children [Carrington, Robert " [http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=EJ459381&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=eric_accno&accno=EJ459381 Building Schools for American Kids Abroad: How to Prepare to Design and Build in a Foreign Country.] " Education Resources Information Center, 1992"] stationed in Aberdeen. The American school in Aberdeen provided American education curricula for K - 12 students living in the Aberdeen area, as well as to kids that were bussed to the school from the former US/RAF Naval Base at Edzell, near Brechin, Scotland.
The American School in Aberdeen was originally located in Cults and expanded to the present day Milltimber campus in 1992. The Cults campus of the American School in Aberdeen was closed after the class of 1996 graduated due to attrition in the American oil population. This provided the opportunity for a change to become the International School in Aberdeen and begin offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma. The Waldorf School now occupies the former American School Campus located on Craigton Road, Cults, Aberdeen.
