What are the schools in Windhoek like?

"Hands down the best choice in Windhoek. Americans should not be turned off by the IB, on the contrary it is the only matriculation recognised outside of Namibia. The other private schools do not offer IB and thus the options are very limited for graduates who wish to study in Europe or US. Even to study in South Africa, students will find they may have to do additional courses. You are paying more but honestly there is no comparison with the quality of teaching - WIS learners are taught to be inquirers, they do not do rote learning and there is a lot of hands-on experimentation. My daughter is doing a class called Theory of Knowledge (age 16) and it pretty much offers university-level content. It's also a diverse and open-minded school: no uniforms, kids are accepted for who they, lots of diversity, respect etc ... unparalleled in Windhoek," explained one expat living in Windhoek, Namibia.
