Enko Education is a fast-growing network of African international schools dedicated to preparing students across the continent for admission to the world's top universities. As the African School of Choice, Enko provides a high-quality, globally recognized education built on the pillars of African Roots, Global Wings, and Future-Oriented. Operating 16 schools in 10 African countries, Enko Education is committed to academic excellence and accessibility, guided by core values like being caring and committed. A cornerstone of its offering is the exclusive Knowledge for College program, which provides students with personalized guidance, skills training, and exposure to global career opportunities, successfully enabling admissions to institutions like Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Toronto.
Founded in 2017, Enko Dakar is a secular, co-educational international school located in Dakar, Senegal. We are proud to be the first IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) School in Senegal, complementing our IB Diploma Programme (DP) and Primary Years Programme (PYP). Our community is primarily composed of ambitious Senegalese students from middle-class families, many of whom aspire to continue their studies abroad. Learners are encouraged to develop African roots and global wings through bilingual learning, intercultural experiences, and travel opportunities such as study tours and conferences.
Enko Dakar is accredited by the Senegalese Ministry of Education and the International Baccalaureate Organization in Geneva. It is authorized to deliver the IB Diploma Programme for Grade 12 & 13 and Middle-Years Program for Grade 7 to 11. Enko Dakar PYP is the primary section of Enko Dakar that offers a bilingual program (English-French) for students aged 3 to 12.
All IB courses (except for French and English language courses) are offered in both French and English.
Average class size: 25
IB Diploma (DP): Students take 6 subjects, earning up to 42 points, with 3 additional points possible for the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge. Maximum score: 45. Enko Dakar does not convert IB scores to any other grading systems.

The Knowledge for College (K4C) program, an exclusive Enko Education initiative, is a robust three-year curriculum beginning in the last third year of high school. It is specifically designed to close the readiness gaps of local students for higher education. K4C provides in-depth education on local and global university opportunities, helping young learners thoroughly explore future career paths and make conscious decisions regarding their study plans. Our approach is centered on empowering African youth by guiding them to develop critical skills in communication, self-management, and problem-solving, enabling them to research, evaluate, and pursue their future opportunities effectively.
