Hi, i am planning to move to Tunis, Tunisia in the coming August. i have 7 years boy and i am looking for american learning system school for him. i found out some rated and ranks which are confusing about the international schools in Tunis like american cooperative, British school, and so on. i really appreciate any experiences, recommendations, or references that can help me to find out which international school has a good learning curriculum.
thanks

Hi Aseel,
Is your son currently in an American school? Are you planning on staying in Tunisia permanently or just for a specified period of time?
From what I can gather, the American Cooperative School is the only American-curriculum school in Tunis, so it would likely be a good fit for your requirements. The school also offers the well-respected International Baccalaureate curriculum. For more info, you can visit the school's website: www.acst.net
If possible, visiting the school in person is a good way to gauge what day to day life there is like. Chatting with teachers there about their teaching philosophies and finding out about the employee turnover rate are two things that can tell you a lot about how the school is run. Small class sizes, good facilities and open and friendly staff are also signs of a high-quality school.
Hope this helps.
