Wewe hauna la maana. Kazi ni kunifuata kwa mgongo na kunitusi ilhali huna la maana unalojadili. Fuatilia mjadala kwanza uelewe ni nani anayebisha bila sababu. Acha kuboboja ovyo ovyo ukilazimisha watu kukubaliana nawe. It's funny how the most stupid people are always the first ones to question people's IQs.

Man u cant change that history!
In 1962, a few parents began exploring the possibility of setting up an international school in Dar es Salaam. This group of parents, together with the assistance of the then Geneva-based International Schools Association, found IST in 1963.

With Kenya’s independence in 1963, the population of missionaries grew considerably. This decade founded many of the activities currently flourishing at RVA. The school began an interscholastic sports program with basketball and rugby. The choir and band programs were nationally recognized, accompanied by a strong drama program. Students began taking college entrance exams, the National Honor Society’s chapter of Elimu Bora was founded, and a spirit of educational excellence emerged. In 1967, under Roy Entwistle, RVA was the first school in Africa to receive American accreditation.

1. Do you know what an International School is? It seems I am talking to someone who has no idea what an international school is. Here is the definition of an international school
In order to be considered an actual international school, it is widely agreed that a school generally follows a national or international curriculum different from that of the host country. Additionally, an emphasis is placed on international education (with such programs as the IB) and global citizenship.
2. RVA received MSA accreditation in 1967. That doesn't mean it only became an international school in 1967 - it was always one of the best schools in Africa since its inception and offered internationally recognized curricular hence was always an international school.

Seems you didn't get the definition right.
An international school
1. has to measure up to the standards of an international environment - by being the best in Africa, there is no doubt that it measured up.
2. Adopt a curriculum different from what the host country offers. RVA has been offering a different curriculum to what schools in Kenya offered.
See how simple it is?
