Our story
Well, it all started with a family story
The name LOUMARS was inspired by the first names of the parents’ founder, LOUIS MARIE and LOUISE MARIE. They built this structure and left it to us; and since they had a deep spirit of charity, we therefore decided to maintain this spirit through a special project: LOUMARS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.
Since 2014, LOUMARS International School has walked alongside Kribi families through their children’s primary education, on one simple belief: Great foundation started with good foundation.
Mission
To deliver a rigorous English-medium primary education that prepares children to speak, think, and succeed — while building genuine fluency in French and pride in their own cultural roots.
Vision
Children ready for the world, rooted at home. We want to raise a generation of curious, disciplined learners, comfortable in English and French, and proud of the cultural diversity around them.
