Random year for international schools around the world: 1983<\/p>\n

Utilizing the database of the 778 international schools currently listed<\/a> on International School Community<\/a>, we found 10 schools that were founded in 1983 (excepts about their founding are taken from the schools\u2019 websites):<\/p>\n

Chinese International School<\/a> (Hong Kong, China)
\nWhen CIS opened its doors in 1983, its co-founders Nelly Fung, Kin-Yue Fu and Joyce Tai realized a long-held dream of a school that would offer the best of both Chinese and Western worlds.\u00a0 Born in Asia and educated in Asia and the West, they saw a need in the late 1970s for an educational institution in Hong Kong that could provide an alternative to local schools teaching mainly an exam-based curriculum and to international schools teaching mainly Western curricula.\u00a0 Their vision was for a school open to all regardless of nationality, race or creed, where students would achieve fluency in Chinese (Mandarin) and English and an understanding of the dual heritage that makes Hong Kong unique.<\/p>\n

International School of Busan<\/a> (Busan, South Korea)
\nThe International School of Pusan (not Busan as it is now called) opened in September 1983 with seven young pupils in kindergarten and elementary school, and two teachers. Busan was not the expatriate centre that it is today but still the parents wanted their children to have a world-standard international education (rather than a national system education), so that they could transfer around the world. They also wanted a caring, nurturing, family-like ethos which would give the children a high level of self confidence and esteem, and would teach them tolerance and respect for other cultures. The basic education principles of BIFS were formed!<\/p>\n

International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park<\/a> (Taiwan, China)
\nThe school was proposed by the founder of the Science Park Kwoh-Ting Li<\/a> and administered by Ministry of Education, National Science Council<\/a> and administration of the Park. IBSH only admits children of employees of private enterprises in the Park, government organizations, Industrial Technology Research Institute<\/a>, National Chiao Tung University<\/a> and National Tsing Hua University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

International School of Dakar<\/a> (Dakar, Senegal)
\nIt was founded in 1983 in order to provide a non-sectarian alternative for international families who are temporarily based in Dakar. The initial leadership of the school was primarily North American, with strong support, which continues today, from the United States Embassy and U.S. Department of State\u2019s Office of Overseas Schools.<\/p>\n

British School Lome<\/a> (Lome, Togo)
\nFounded specifically as an international school to meet the needs and interests of expatriate families living in Togo, BSL soon expanded to offer boarding facilities to students from across the region.<\/p>\n

Colegio Albania<\/a> (La Guajira, Colombia)
\nThe school started with only 5 students! (if you can read Spanish, check out their history here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Tanto International School<\/a> (Stockholm, Sweden)
\nThe Tanto School was founded in 1983 by Connie N\u00e4slund and Anne Haldane. The school expanded over the next few years to a total of five classrooms with an age range from four to twelve years old. The curriculum at this time was a mixture of British and American. After many years of dedicated service to the school both Mrs. N\u00e4slund and Miss Haldane retired.<\/p>\n

Cempaka International School<\/a> (Selangor, Malaysia)
\nCempakans\u2019 record in National Public Examinations ever since its inception in 1983 has been impeccable : 100% passes each year in all examinations.<\/p>\n

American School of Bangkok<\/a> (Bangkok, Thailand)
\nThe American School of Bangkok was founded in 1983 as a kindergarten. It was originally called Didyasarin International Kindergarten. \u201cDidyasarin\u201d was the family of Mrs. Lakhana Tavedikul, the founder, owner, and Director of the school.<\/p>\n

Ibn Khuldoon National School<\/a> (Manama, Bahrain)
\nOn the 22nd of September 1983 the concept of a truly bi-lingual system of education took form. It all started as a dream for Bahraini parents who sought an academic institution that would be bi-lingual and cater for the specific needs of Arab children, yet would meet high international educational standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
