Challenge, Create, Change
About Us
At the International School of Dakar, we are guided by our strategic plan which calls upon us to challenge, create, and change, our students, our school, and ourselves.
Found in 1983, ISD is an independent, co-educational day school offering an enriched international educational program to reflect the diverse international background of the student body and the faculty.
ISD is a international community of learners that fosters creativity, open-mindedness, responsibility and excellence.
Classes are offered for Pre-K3 through Grade 12. The school year extends from mid-August to mid-June. Our ultimate goal is to develop successful learners who have the courage to tackle complex problems and be of service to others.

Welcome to the International School of Dakar!
It is a profound joy to return to ISD as Interim Director! Having previously been part of this remarkable community, I know firsthand what makes this school special - our commitment to student growth, celebration of diverse perspectives, and our deep connection to both our global and local community. We are a mission-driven school that puts our values into action every day.
Our core values - Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Responsibility, and Equity guide our decisions and define our community. Our motto - Challenge, Create, Change - speaks to the heart of what we do. We challenge our students academically while creating meaningful connections to prepare them to be agents of change in the world.
