The school year is comprised of 180 days of instruction, organized into 2 semesters extending from August through January and from February into June.
The International School of Ouagadougou cultivates diversity, respect, knowledge, and character, and strives to develop global citizens who contribute towards a better, more peaceful world. ISO is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA)
Curriculum:
The school follows an American-style curriculum adapted to emphasize intercultural understanding, character development, and community involvement. The ISO elementary school focuses on the total development of each child and provides many opportunities for personal and academic growth in a nurturing, structured environment.
As learning progresses through the upper grades, an increasing emphasis on inquiry-led and independent study seeks to instill in each student a life-long love of learning. French is taught daily from K grade 12. The newly introduced IB Program courses in grades 11 and 12 prepare students with the skills needed for success in tertiary institutions.

The school is located on a 7-acre, purpose-built campus located adjacent to the city’s main residential section. The facility is walled and secured.
