Random year for international schools around the world: 1969<\/p>\n

Utilizing the database of the 850 international schools currently listed<\/a> on International School Community<\/a>, we found\u00a0 schools that were founded in\u00a01969 (excepts about their founding are taken from the schools\u2019 websites):<\/p>\n

German Swiss International School<\/a> (Hong Kong, China)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe German Swiss International School Hong Kong (GSIS) was established in 1969 by German Swiss families who were looking for a bilingual German-English education in an international setting. From these early beginnings, GSIS has grown into one of the leading international schools in Hong Kong. The school\u2019s main campus is strategically located in the picturesque and prestigious setting of The Peak, Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n

American School of Antananarivo<\/a> (Antananarivo, Madagascar)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cASA was founded in September, 1969 as an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational day school. Its function is to provide an excellent education in an international setting to children through the twelfth grade.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>International School of Seychelles <\/a> (Victoria, Seychelles)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cISS has grown to nearly 700 students from a small beginning of nine students in 1969. ISS continues to be a vibrant learning community with students excelling themselves both academically, in sports and in many other ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

International School Moshi (Moshi)<\/a> (Moshi, Tanzania)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEstablished in 1969 to serve the needs of the expatriate and local communities, the school has grown to provide a fully accredited international education for children from age 3 to age 19, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma, Middle Years and Primary Years programmes.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Sir James Henderson School<\/a> (Milan, Italy)<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sir James Henderson British School of Milan was founded in 1969 by British parents who wanted to provide a British education to their children. The school was named after Sir James Henderson, a British businessman who started up Coats in Italy after WW1. He also founded the British Chamber of Commerce and the first Rotary Club in Italy. His wife provided a generous donation to start the school.\u00a0 In 1969 the school had just over 90 students (84 in the lower school,12 children in the upper school). In 1994 it had 380 students and currently the school has over 770 students (440 in the lower school, over 330 children in the upper school).\u201d<\/p>\n

Bangalore International School<\/a> (Bangalore, India)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBangalore International School, or American Community School as it was once called, was started in 1969. In the 60s and the 70s, although there were hundreds of American and Canadian families living in the city, there were no local schooling options that offered a North American curriculum and instruction style. The only available choice would have been boarding school. And luckily for us, this idea did not appeal to Eloise R. Bennett and her family, the founders of BIS. On contract through the University of Tennessee for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Bennett family moved to Bangalore for two years between 1969 and 1971. Finding no suitable schooling options, they decided to open their own, and so the American Community School was born, in a garage on Millers Road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medan International School Sumatra<\/a> (Medan, Indonesia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMedan International School began in 1969 and has being operating from its present site, approximately 10km for the centre of Medan, since 1980. Medan is a large city of over three million people, although the expatriate population is relatively small.\u201d<\/p>\n
