QSI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF BENIN

QSI International School of Benin, a private, nonprofit institution, opened in August of 2012. The school

offers a high-quality education in the English language for children aged three through Secondary

graduation and includes students from the diplomatic, expatriate, international business community,

and local communities.

Facility

The school facility is located in the Camp Guezo area of Cotonou on a property once occupied by the

US Embassy. The area has many trees and is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Cotonou. The

property has five buildings housing 16 air-conditioned classrooms, a library, a cafeteria, a makers’

space, a PE room, a science lab, and a computer lab. There are two playgrounds and a soccer pitch as

well.

Academic Program

The academic program uses a Performance-Based/Mastery Learning approach to education. This

model ensures mastery of specific skills and knowledge involving both individual and group instruction.

The educational philosophy is founded upon the premises that:

1) All students can succeed.

2) Success breeds success.

3) It is the responsibility of the school to provide the conditions for success.

Curriculum

The curriculum includes English (reading, grammar, composition, and spelling), Mathematics (basic

skills up to university preparation), Cultural Studies (history, geography, economics, political science),

Science (physical, life, and earth), Art, Music, Computers, and Physical Education. Intensive English

classes are offered to students that need additional help with the English language. Second language

acquisition is offered in French. The school seeks to provide students with an appreciation for the rich

culture and history of Benin. Materials and equipment are up to date and of high quality. Class sizes

are small, and the faculty is made up of highly qualified and experienced teachers, the majority from

the United States.
