Welcome to the official website of Marina International School.
Marina is The Gambia's premier international school and has been in existence for more than fifty years. The Junior and High Schools share an attractive, spacious campus in the Bakau Newtown area of Greater Banjul, the country's capital.
The school admits students from kindergarten through to Form 7 and there are currently more than 1000 pupils on roll. As a Cambridge International Examinations Centre, Marina follows the British National Curriculum and offers IGCSE, AS and A level.
Marina International School is owned by the Parent Teacher Association which elects the Board that governs the school. Although the Junior and High Schools operate separately and have different head teachers, they cooperate extensively and most Junior School students apply to the High School at the end of Key Stage 2.
Currently Marina International School is undergoing an exciting period of transition. Under the leadership of its new Head, Mrs Patricia Lamour, the High School has embarked upon a process of change during which it will be transformed from a good school into one which is nothing short of excellent. To this end, the Senior Management Team has written an ambitious School Improvement Plan which will serve as a blueprint for the school's development over the next two years and beyond.
Marina International School is committed to transparency in its dealings with students, parents, staff and the wider community of stakeholders. To this end, the website will be a vital portal as the school steers a course toward achieving its vision of behavioural and academic excellence. |
