Westwood International School was established in 1988 to provide an international standard of education to the international community in Botswana. The school is open to boys and girls of all races, nationalities and faiths. It provides an education from pre-primary to university entrance. The school is a non-profit making body managed by the school council. In 2003 the school grades K-7 were re-accredited by CIS and NEASC. The Westwood International School curriculum is designed to provide the best English language instructional programmes for the international community in Botswana and for the children of the host nation. Pre-Primary (Kindergarten/Reception) is designed for children who are five years old and is followed by five years of primary level instruction (years 1-5).
