A Word from the Head

E.S.C.O.L.A. The English School Community of Luanda, Angola is situated in Luanda itself and aims to provide, in the medium of English, a learner-centred education of the highest calibre that is relevant in the Southern African and international context.

E.S.C.O.L.A. caters to students from Pre-Primary 3 to Grade 8 and the formal curriculum, which is based on internationally recognized curricula, provides an holistic education that promotes the growth of the complete person in body, mind and spirit.Class sizes are limited to twenty students.

E.S.C.O.L.A. is an interdenominational, independent school that welcomes students of differing nationalities and cultures. Respect for other cultures is a core aspect of our school, and we celebrate our diversity each year.by holding an International Day.

E.S.C.O.L.A. is a caring school environment that provides opportunities for students to become empathetic citizens of the world by encouraging them to think of others less fortunate than themselves - World Stand Up Against Poverty Day is celebrated annually and we currently support the El Shadi Children's Project in the province of Lobito.

E.S.C.O.L.A. is associated with the well-established Colégio Português and the students benefit from the cross-cultural exposure. Consequently, our second language, which is Portuguese, is enhanced through social interaction. Students begin formal lessons in Portuguese in Grade 2.

E.S.C.O.L.A. is a member of both ISASA, the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa and ECIS, The European Council of International Schools. In order to remain up to date on current educational trends, members of our staff, are routinely sent on courses and conferences organised by both associations. During the first quarter of the 2011/2012 academic year three of our teachers accompanied our administrator to the annual ECIS November conference, this year held in Portugal. Our Grade 4 to 8 students write the ISA international examinations each year in October. These offer a chance to benchmark against some of the better schools internationally.

E.S.C.O.L.A. provides opportunities for individuals to enhance their talents in a variety of areas. During the course of the year both a Junior concert and Senior supper theatre are held as well as an annual creative book day and art exhibition. Previously students have travelled to South Africa to take part in the open water Midmar Mile swim. A combined E.S.C.O.L.A./Colégio Português swimming team take part every year in the Luanda Mini League swimming galas and have been previous champions.

E.S.C.O.L.A. encourages communication between Parents and Teachers and to this end has an open door policy. Parent interviews are held in the second term as well as a Student Led Conference day.
