Hi there,

We are a family with 2 kids (9 & 12) considering to move to Douala.
Does anybody have experience with the international schools there?
One thing is to research the school-website - but after ten years as expats in very different countries, I find experiences from real people much more useful.
We are currently in the british school system, and our kids don't speak french.

Are there any good choice of clubs, sports ore sparetime activities for children and teenagers in Douala?
What would a family with older kids for example do on weekends and breaks?

That was a few of the million things we are considering in the process of deciding to make the move ;-)

Thanks in advance for any response!

// Mia

There are schools here for english speakers for eg american school where your children can attend classes. there are sports and clubs, tennis club and many other sparetime activities for children in Douala.
Most families usually carry their kids to the beach some 70km from the city of Douala during weekends.
