Random year for international schools around the world: 1978<\/p>\n

Utilizing the database of the 840 international schools currently listed<\/a> on International School Community<\/a>, we found\u00a0 schools that were founded in 1978 (excepts about their founding are taken from the schools\u2019 websites):<\/p>\n

The American International School of Nouakchott<\/a> (Nouakchott, Mauritania)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe founding of the school in 1978 was very much an effort of the American and international community, and its strengths corresponded with the talents and the generous volunteer spirit of the community. The school was initially in one wing of the Grayzel house. There were two classrooms and an atrium with a garden. Initially instruction was from the Calvert Correspondence course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lycee International School of Los Angeles<\/a> (Los Angeles, United States of America)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe school opened in a small house in Van Nuys with only seven students. Some 30 years later, the school has grown to five campuses with more than 900 students and has earned an enviable reputation with its placement of graduates in French universities, grandes \u00e9coles and within the American university system.<\/p>\n

Of the original 1978 founders, two are still on the Board of Trustees. Others have joined the Board which now renews itself regularly. By combining those who have been Trustees for years with new Trustees bringing a fresh perspective, the Board is prepared to meet the 21st century with both maturity and vigor.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>New Cairo British International School<\/a> (Cairo, Egypt)<\/strong><\/p>\n

British School of Kuwait<\/a> (Safat, Kuwait)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe British School of Kuwait (BSK) traces its origins to 1978 when Vera and Sadiq Al-Mutawa established a small kindergarten which became known as The Sunshine School. Steady growth took place through the 1980s and, having recovered from the ravages of the invasion of 1990, by 1992 the School accommodated 550 kindergarten and primary students. The decision having been made to serve the community at both Primary<\/a> and Secondary<\/a> levels, a move to the present site in Salwa took place and in September 1992, newly-named, The British School of Kuwait opened to 900 students.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Vienna International School<\/a> (Vienna, Austria)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vienna International School was founded in September 1978 to serve the children of the United Nations and diplomatic community in Vienna. It is also open to children of the international business community and of Austrian families. Over 100 nationalities are represented among its 1,400 children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acs International School \u2013 Hillingdon Campus<\/a> (Hillingdon, England)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe main house<\/strong>: The handsome and substantially built mansion was originally constructed in white brick and stone in the classical style, between 1854 and 1858, by P.C. Hardwick for Sir Charles Mills, an international banker from one of the most affluent City families of the 19th century.\u201d<\/p>\n

International School S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o<\/a> (Almacil, Portugal)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Sotogrande International School <\/a> (Cadiz, Spain)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe school was opened in Cortijo Paniagua with just 11 pupils and very soon developed into a successful and popular primary school. The school was governed by a Board of Governors who retained close links to Sotogrande SA, the company that owns the prestigious Sotogrande estate and provided premises for the original school. By 1990 the school had a roll of 250 pupils and included a high quality secondary school offering UK O-level and A-level courses. For twenty years the school grew steadily and established itself as a leading British-style school in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Fairview International School<\/a> (Kuala, Lumpur)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>American School of Douala<\/a> (Douala, Cameroon)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201d Founded in 1978, the American School of Douala (ASD) is an independent coeducational, non-sectarian school, which provides an English language educational program from pre-school through tenth grade.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
