What are the schools in Namibia like?

"The International School of Namibia (ISN) is one of the best international schools in Namibia. Located in Windhoek, ISN offers a comprehensive education program for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. The school follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, which is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. ISN also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art. The Windhoek International School (WIS) is another excellent international school in Namibia. WIS offers a comprehensive education program for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. The school follows the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) curriculum, which is designed to develop students’ academic and social skills. WIS also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art. The German International School Windhoek (GISW) is a bilingual school in Namibia. GISW offers a comprehensive education program for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. The school follows the German curriculum, which is designed to develop students’ academic and social skills.

"Hands down the best choice in Windhoek. Americans should not be turned off by the IB, on the contrary it is the only matriculation recognised outside of Namibia. The other private schools do not offer IB and thus the options are very limited for graduates who wish to study in Europe or US. Even to study in South Africa, students will find they may have to do additional courses. You are paying more but honestly there is no comparison with the quality of teaching - WIS learners are taught to be inquirers, they do not do rote learning and there is a lot of hands-on experimentation. My daughter is doing a class called Theory of Knowledge (age 16) and it pretty much offers university-level content. It's also a diverse and open-minded school: no uniforms, kids are accepted for who they, lots of diversity, respect etc ... unparalleled in Windhoek," remarked one parent with kids at Windhoek International School in Windhoek.
