What are the schools in Angola like?

"ESCOLA is great for children who are young and for whom the travel would be long. Classes tend to be small as the age rises. The school and teachers are stable and care a lot for the children. LIS is the larger environment, outside of the city but that may be fine for a family living in the southern suburbs. I particularly love the IB philosophy but it also doesn't suit everyone. ESCOLA is a more classic educational philosophy. There is also quite a large difference in fees: ESCOLA being less expensive because they did not undertake such a large development plan in 2002 when moving down south," said one parent with children at ESCOLA and LIS in Luanda.

"The International School of Luanda (ISL) is one of the best international schools in Angola. It is an independent, non-profit, co-educational day school offering an international curriculum for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. ISL is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school offers a rigorous academic program, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills, problem solving, and communication. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and art. The Bilingual School of Luanda (BSL) is another excellent bilingual school in Angola. It is a private, non-profit, co-educational day school offering a bilingual curriculum for students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. BSL is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school offers a rigorous academic program, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills, problem solving, and communication. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and art," commented one expat when asked about in Angola.
