Our story

A school born in Gao

The story of the Askia schools begins in Gao, the city of the Askias, in northern Mali. For years, generations of pupils studied there and remember a demanding school, close to families.

Askia School Complex continues this story in Bamako. It brings together Bouch kindergarten, Askia school and Askia Douso private high school, which support pupils from nursery to the baccalaureate. The kindergarten and the school welcome children on two sites: Yirimadio (opposite Village CAN) and 1008 Logements in ATTBougou.

At the school, classes run Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 1:15 pm, and on Saturday from 7:30 am to 11 am. A canteen and school insurance are offered to families who wish.
