Dakar Academy exists to partner in the advancement of the Kingdom of God
through serving missionary families by providing education services for
their children. Non-discrimination Statement : Dakar Academy will enroll students without regard to color, race, religion or creed who either speak English as a native language or are able to obtain the Limited English Proficiency (LEP) level on the IDEA Oral Language Proficiency Test. A student whose level is only LEP shall be required to participate in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program.

Owning Missions : We are co-owned by United World Mission, Assembly of God, and WorldVenture. The Southern Baptist Convention is also an associate member. Total Enrollment
Interesting Facts : Dakar is situated on a peninsula and is the farthest Western point on the main continent of Africa. It use to be a French colony and has a very strong French influence except out in the smaller villages. There are two seasons, one dry and one rainy, and the temperatures can range from the high 90s to low 60s depending on the season. All of the power outlets in the city are 220v so all American 110v electronics need a power transformer or they will blow out. All houses are made of cement block so fires are not a big concern. Senegal is primarily an Islamic country, but the capital city of Dakar has a noticeable Catholic influence. Building and Grounds The 6-acre campus of Dakar Academy abundantly meets the needs of our parents, boarding homes, staff and students. We are committed to meet the changing needs of the mission community through continued renovations and new construction projects. Elementary Building
