The American School of Las Palmas (ASLP) is a private international school in Los Hoyos, Gran Canaria, about 15 minutes from Las Palmas and close to the Caldera de Bandama volcanic nature reserve. Founded in 1967, it teaches a Cognia-accredited American curriculum that is recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education. English is the only language of instruction at all levels, while students also strengthen their Spanish. ASLP describes itself as the first Eco-School in the Canary Islands.
