Lower Primary and Upper Primary remain in Repulse Bay while Middle School and High School are in Tai Tam. The school has just finished undergoing its fourth major infrastructure development plan at about on mid-2010 in the Middle School Campus, called the Middle School Annex.\u201d<\/p>\n

An independent, nonprofit school, ASD was founded in 1966 to serve the needs of North American families and other expatriate populations in Dubai.

German Swiss International School \u2013 Accra<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> (Accra, Ghana)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u201cIn 1966 the Ramseyer Memorial School (RMS) was founded due to enormous initiative of the Swiss colony. Gottfried und Marianne Bolleter were significantly involved in the setup of the school.\u00a0 The school\u2019s name remembers the Swiss missionary Friedrich August Ramseyer, who was engaged in business here in the \u201egold coast\u201c from 1864 until 1910. His first job was controller of construction sites in Accra (back then Christianbourg). Out of consideration for the health of his wife he was transferred after three years. The school started out very modestly. However, two years later the school was moved into a new building which is the one still being used today at Ring Road Central, right in the heart of Accra. In this busy environment with traffic jams, street sellers and the loud African everyday life the school\u2019s compound according to European standards seems like an oasis with its groomed plants and lawn, swept playground and newly painted buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n
