Applications are accepted through the year. Students are generally not enrolled in April or May of the current school year, given that school closes in early June. In such instances the preference is to enroll students for the following year.
Once the required Application and Admissions data is completed you can expect a notification within the week. Offers of enrollment not accepted within a month will be considered to have lapsed.
Students transferring from the Southern Hemisphere (i.e. a school calendar that runs within January to December) will be placed in their current or recently completed Year.
LIS does not offer advanced placement resulting from talented and gifted designations. Our experience is that students identified as talented and gifted are a natural fit in their age-appropriate classes.
Parents are expected to inform the school at the time of application if their child has any diagnosed learning or physical issues, and/or has been receiving additional support in their previous school(s). Resources to accommodate and adequately support students with special or physical needs at LIS, and within Luanda, are limited, and Section Principals and delegated staff will consider all information presented to determine whether LIS programmes are suitable for the student’s cognitive, social, and emotional needs, which shall be assessed prior to and/or after acceptance. This policy refers to all learning, physical and behavioural support needs.
LIS will enrol non-English speaking students in the lower Year levels. However, ESL support diminishes as students proceed through the Year levels. Students enrolling at Year 10 are expected to be proficient in academic English.
LIS is committed to enrolling students in an international community of diverse learners. Admissions is determined by the following criteria:

Luanda International School celebrated Angolan Independence Day on 10 November 2017. The celebration assembly was a real endorsement of our school mission and commitment to play a greater role here in Angola.
George’s journey from Angola to the Republic of Congo did not have a happy beginning. George, a chimpanzee, was stolen from his forest home and family for the illegal pet trade. Thankfully, he was found by Dr. Cristina of Casa dos Animais.
