Marina International School
Marina International School is an international school in the Banjul area of the Gambia. It serves levels PreK–12.[1]
Historically, the school served Gambian and non-Gambian students, with different tuition rates for non-Gambian students with parents working for international agencies, Gambian students, and other non-Gambian students.
A grant by the federal government of the United States was discontinued in 1984 when the Banjul American Embassy School (BAES) was established. American parents had paid high tuition dollars to Marina but got little power in the school's management. In addition, according to the BAES, at Marina "the level of English was questioned" and that Marina "was becoming less an international school".[2]
