ASFG Recognized Among Top American Schools Abroad for Literary Excellence
This year, Sin Fronteras, ASFG’s student literary magazine, was recognized as a REALM First Class magazine by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Out of 456 student magazines submitted from 44 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and six countries, only 135 received the contest’s highest distinction. In the American Schools Abroad/Canada category, ASFG was one of only two schools to earn the REALM First Class award.
This recognition places ASFG alongside the American School of Paris as the only American schools abroad to receive this top honor in 2025.
REALM (Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines) celebrates outstanding student-produced literary magazines that elevate the art and craft of writing. This award reflects the depth of student voice, editorial leadership, and faculty mentorship behind Sin Fronteras.
At ASFG, we believe strong writing builds strong thinking. Recognition at this level affirms our commitment to nurturing purposeful learners and effective communicators who can express ideas with clarity and originality.
We extend our congratulations to:
Faculty Advisors: Jenna Slack-Larimer and Michael Hogan
Student Leaders: Mia Oseguera Gomez (Class of 2026), Editor-in-Chief and Camila Parenti Fernandez (Class of 2025), Art Director
This achievement highlights what happens when creativity, discipline, and purpose come together, with students producing work that meets the highest international standards.
