The American School of Kinshasa
The American School of Kinshasa (TASOK) is a leading American school in Africa. Established in 1961, this prestigious educational institution has been serving the community in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for more than half a century. TASOK is an independent, coeducational day school that offers a comprehensive educational program for students, ranging from pre-kindergarten to high school level, with a strong focus on the American curriculum.
As a prominent Association of International Schools in Africa member, TASOK is committed to providing a high-quality American education in a multicultural environment. The school's diverse student body consists of approximately 350 students from over 40 countries, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the African continent. This diverse setting enables students to expand their worldview, to be empathetic, and to become responsible global citizens who celebrate differences and appreciate unity.
TASOK's faculty consists of highly qualified professionals, most of whom are native English speakers, ensuring that students receive a world-class education in line with American standards. The school's faculty-to-student ratio is kept low, ensuring personalized attention and support, ultimately leading to academic success. The curriculum emphasizes a strong foundation in core subjects, including mathematics, science, English, social studies, and foreign languages, as well as a wide range of extracurricular activities such as visual and performing arts, athletics, and technology-related clubs.
TASOK also embraces the values of international-mindedness by offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program for students in their final two years of high school. This rigorous and well-respected program prepares students for success in higher education and beyond by fostering critical thinking, independence, and cross-cultural understanding. TASOK has a proud history of high achievement in the IB program, as their students consistently achieve scores that are significantly higher than the global average.
