All Nations Academy is now coming close to our first fill year of classes. In July of 2007 we started our Inagural Term with 68 children enrolled. These children spent time learning English so that they could be prepared for our all english curriculum. Today the school has 106 children enrolled and a waiting list of almost 50 children. As we continue to build classrooms we will be able to increase enrollment.
Currently we have
seventeen full time people on staff and are still building classrooms before we
hire more faculty and staff. Find out more about the faculty here.
Building started at the end of 2005 and started with a house for the campus pastor and two classrooms. We then moved on to phase two of our building, to date we have completed phase two, offices, bathrooms, a kitchen and a house for the school director on the property. We all partway through phase three: more classrooms. We have built a large open room that has blackboards on either end that can be divided and used as we see fit.
2004 A call is made from the head office of PEFA in Kenya to Into All The World of Canada (IATW)..."can you help build a school in Zanzibar". A small group including the Director of IATW visited the Island shortly after to evaluate the need for a school.
2005 Another group from IATW visits the island with David and Christina Lewis to oversee the purchase of land. David and Christina Lewis start preparing to move thier family to Zanzibar.
2007 David Lewis and his family arrived from Canada. Many man-hours were spent working to get the school ready to open for an inaugural term in July. The inagural term had 68 students! More building and preparation for the first full year kept all employees of the school very busy.
