A World-Class International Education Rooted in Botswana
Established in 1988, Westwood is the school of choice for internationally-minded families. Our purpose-built facilities are maintained under the sustainable "Green Flag" awarded by the Eco-Schools Foundation.
We are the only continuum school in Gaborone, offering the International Baccalaureate PYP, MYP, and DP for students from 5 to 18 years old. The continuous scaffolding of knowledge, skills, and attitudes provides students with the best possible preparation to be successful in higher education and life beyond.
Westwood is a not-for-profit school and all revenues are used to improve the school to benefit the students. We are an independent school governed by a board of founders, parents, diplomats, and other stakeholders.
Inspire · Empower · Commit
The IB journey is one that teaches students much more than just the subjects that they study. In a safe and nurturing environment, our students learn about themselves, how to manage time, how to juggle competing priorities, how to face challenges head on, how to collaborate with others, and how to persevere to find success.
WIS provides a balanced programme with a focus on the arts, sports, service, and creating and supporting a sustainable future.
We have a wide variety of sports teams, an extensive extra-curricular programme, as well as sports victories, musical and theatre productions, and an outstanding IB DP Art Exhibition each year!
At WIS, you can be yourself, discover your strengths, and broaden your horizons.
We are an inclusive school that seeks to challenge each student each day. Our students learn that through effort, hard work, and focus, they are able to succeed in their goals.
Our teachers are committed to learning, developing the passions and talents of each student, and to their love of the subjects they teach. Our teachers seek to bring wonder and curiosity to our students through an inquiry model of teaching and learning.
