| The Luanda International School is
a private, non-profit, coeducational day school, which offers an
educational program from pre-school through to grade 10. The School
was founded in October 1996 by 5 persons interested in the creation
of an English medium international school in Angola. A number of oil
related companies have supported the venture.
Organization: A 5-member Board of Directors, all of whom
are appointed by the sponsoring companies, governs the School. The
U.S. Embassy representative serves at the will of the Ambassador and
is a non-voting advisory member of the Board.
Curriculum: The School has been authorized to offer the
International Baccalaureate Organization Primary Years Programme
from Pre-Primary to Grade 6. The IB Middle Years Program is being
implemented in grades 8-10.
Faculty: In the 2004-2005 school year, there are 27
faculty members and 5 assistants. Teachers are from the United
State, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Australia and
Portugal.
Enrollment: At the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year,
enrollment was 220.
Facilities: A new campus opened in 2003. The campus is
located approximately 16 kilometers from the U.S. Embassy. There are
several buildings on the campus, to include a cafeteria/auditorium
with stage, library and administrative offices, 25-meter pool and
sports field.
Finances: In the 2004-2005 school year, most of the
School’s operating income derives from tuition with contributions
from sponsoring corporations funding the construction. The annual
tuition rates are as follows: Pre-school: $14,280; Kdg.-grade 8:
$16,000; and grades 9-10 $18,000. There is a registration fee of
