LIS is a private coeducational day school, which offers an English language educational programme for students from age 3 to 18 predominantly to the international community in Luanda. Luanda International School was founded in 1996 and has been developing rapidly ever since.
After a series of rigorous authorization and accreditation visits LIS in now an all through IB School offering the Primary, Middle Years and Diploma programmes and is fully accredited with the CAISA, NEASC and CIS. In September 2003, LIS located in a new, purpose built campus in Luanda Sul, about 20 kilometers south of the city of Luanda.
Today we have a beautiful new campus, and a preschool for three years olds up to high school offering the three IB programmes to over 600 students of 50 nationalities. Mission Luanda International School offers a balanced, academically challenging, English language education to the international community of Luanda, designed to develop individuals who are both independent learners and international citizens.
The Luanda International School believes that education should foster the development of the whole person. We believe students need to develop the ability to think critically, creatively and independently, and to reach their academic and personal potential.
We want students to lead constructive and fulfilling lives, to appreciate and respect a diverse range of cultures and to have a sense of service and responsibility towards the world community.
Currently the teaching staff come from Angola, Australia, Austria, Canada, Colombia, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and Zimbabwe.
The school offers all three programmes of the International Baccalaureate Organization.
We cooperate with the Educational Advising Center of the US Embassy, which continues to offer the TOEFL tests for non-native speakers of English.
We currently have 384 students in the primary school and 162 in the secondary school; a total of 546. Rank in class LIS does not assign rank to students. It is the goal of the teachers at LIS to help each student actualise their potential. Academic reports Students in both the primary and secondary sections of the school receive two formal written reports a year - one at mid-year and the second at the end of the school year.
At appropriate times during the school year progress reports may also be issued for students who join during the school year and for students causing concern. A parent-teacher conference takes place during the first term for all students (in the secondary section this is a three-way conference involving parent, teacher and student).Both primary and secondary students also participate in student-led conferences later in the school year.
LIS runs an after-school activities programme throughout the week which includes a variety of sports. There are various age groups for participation. Some interscholastic games are played when available, and some teams in the older age-groups even travel outside Angola for tournaments. Other activities offered include choir, science, debating, poetry, wildlife, photo-editing and board games clubs, and the school runs the International Award.
Students at LIS are actively encouraged to participate in community and service projects right from the primary school years. Each year, as a culmination of the Primary Year's Programme, the Year 7 class engages in a significant community and service project. Classes in the Middle Year's Programme are involved in community and service projects each year and students in the Diploma Programme complete the Creativity, Action and Service programme as part of the IB Diploma.
