During Mr. Prince's directorship at the American School Foundation of Guadalajara, efforts were directed towards enhancing the school's aesthetics and academic atmosphere. In 1989, the school introduced its first Advanced Placement (AP) course, elevating the academic offerings.
Additionally, the concept of a middle school, encompassing grades 5-8, was introduced for the first time in 1995. Mr. Prince implemented a character education program that underscored values like responsibility and honesty. However, the financial crisis in 1994 profoundly impacted the school, necessitating a 50 percent tuition increase to sustain operations and prevent closure in line with numerous other closed private schools in Mexico. This move faced opposition, leading to negative publicity and the departure of several key positions within the school's administration, including section principals and the director general.
