The American Cooperative School of Tunis

Our sole purpose for coming to Tunisia was for Mom and Dad to teach at ACST, and so far the school has not disappointed us. Located in La Aouina, a district of Tunis, the school features an amazing campus as well as features that aren't possible in North America. For example, there are no hallway walls, it's just open air. The school is built with white plaster and concrete, as well as blue finishing touches, blending in with, well, everything in Tunisia. The floors, countertops and stairs are made of marble, considering that the material is readily available here.The campus is equally stunning, with palm trees, plenty of green space and a fountain and amphitheatre as main attractions. Check out these pictures that I took of the school.

As far as academics go, the school offers an Elementary School, that ranges from grades kindergarten to 5. Then, there's your typical Middle School with grades 6 to 8. Last but not least there's the High School, from grades 9 to 12.

Overall it's been incredible so far going to school at ACST and meeting people from all around the world. We are truly fortunate. Check back soon !
