The Organisation

Luganville International School Inc. is a charitable organization founded in 2016 and located in Luganville, Vanuatu. The school was originally founded by a group of parents who wanted their children to attend a school with a quality education, on the island of Espiritu Santo. We have steadily grown in enrolments over the years, from 8 students in 2016 to 80 in 2023 with 11 teaching staff.

Our aim is to produce confident, self-motivated and open-minded students who can operate well both in local and international environments with a strong proficiency in English.
