Random year for international schools around the world: 1970<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is much history in the international teaching community.\u00a0 We have international schools with founding dates of 1838 and 1854 and we also have many, many international schools with founding dates in the 21st century.\u00a0 The numbers are increasing for sure (currently at just over 6000).\u00a0 The prediction is that there will be more than 10,000 international schools in the coming decade.<\/p>\n

Utilizing the database of the 1151 (24 March, 2012) international schools\u00a0currently listed<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0International School Community<\/a>, we found\u00a0 international schools that were founded in\u00a01947 (excepts about their founding are taken from the schools\u2019 websites):<\/p>\n

St. Austin\u2019s Academy<\/a> (Nairobi, Kenya<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSt Austins Academy <\/strong>was founded in 1970 by Academic Services Limited <\/strong>as part of a programme to establish centres of academic excellence in Kenya. Founded by the first African Director of Education following independence, the Academy was a deliberate attempt to break the segregated educational systems of the day and offer a truly integrated programme.\u00a0 The original vision has been extended so as to provide a values-based programme for the complex, international world into which our students are entering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colegio Ingles Monterrey<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 (Monterrey, Mexico)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFounded in 1970 in response to the need for a top quality co-educational school in Monterrey, Mexico, Colegio Ingles offers international students from Preschool through grade 9 a challenging academic bilingual program. The curriculum is similar to that in U.S. private schools, instruction is mainly in English, and our faculty uses U.S. textbooks and supporting teaching material. Colegio Ingl\u00e9s is licensed by the Mexican Ministry of Education in Nuevo Leon and an active member of ASOMEX.\u201d<\/p>\n

American International School of Costa Rica<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 (San Jose, Costa Rica)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe American International School of Costa Rica (formerly the Costa Rica Academy) is a private, coeducational day school which offers an educational program from preschool through grade 12 for students of all nationalities. Founded in 1970, the school year comprises 2 semesters extending approximately from August 16 to December 17 and from January 17 to June 10.\u201d<\/p>\n

The British School of Brussels<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 (Brussels, Belgium)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA questionnaire sent by the Brussels British Community Association (BBCA) established a possible 68 families who were interested in sending their children to the school. A well-attended six months later meeting identified over a hundred potential students. The BBCA founded an investigative group chaired by Sir Dick Pantlin \u2014 it reported back on the 27th of January 1969, and the British School of Brussels was born.<\/p>\n

The School opened its doors on the 15th September 1970 with 213 pupils aged 5-13 and 16 teaching staff including the Headmaster. Our Tervuren campus was officially opened on 9th December 1970 by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

Since then, the School has gone from strength to strength and now caters for 1200 students from the ages of one to eighteen, with an average of between sixty and seventy nationalities on roll at any given time.\u201d<\/p>\n

British School of Salalah<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 (Salalah, Oman)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a British School in Salalah, Oman since 1970. It was founded by John Edwards MBE who ran the school with his wife Terry, until he retired in 2000.<\/p>\n

It was originally based in a small hut on the beach near Al Husn palace on a Taylor- Woodrow site. It moved to a villa in Salalah town in 1977 and then on to its present site in 1980.\u201d<\/p>\n
