J.T.Reffel Memorial French Friendship school started with 27 boys and 12 girls in 1940 by J.T.Reffell, tribal chief of the Bassas. It was located at number 1 Guy Street. No age limit was imposed for entry, and children between ages 4 and 14 years were accepted for enrollment. By 1944 the enrollment had soared to 120.
For several years Mrs. Phebean Reffell assumed the role of Proprietress and Head Teacher. After hard and dedicated work to the school she decided to handover the school to her daughters in 1986. Both daughters, Pearl and Daisy, with the same pioneering spirit and dedication of their parents, continued to carry out the role of proprietresses & Head teacher of the school.
In 1989 the school acquired its new name of J.T. Reffell French Friendship Memorial School. The school relocated to the A. J. Momoh Street,Tower hill back of Fire Force, Freetown.

It’s an amazing quote and it is extremely relevant for all of us: children, parents and teachers. we strongly believe that schools are not only meant to attain information and knowledge, rather they are platforms for collaboration of thoughts and ideas.
ReplyDeleteAs life poses innumerable challenges, the goal of education is to help one to successfully brave through the rough seas of struggle, strife and hurdles. We believe that the strength of character developed at Vista International School should hold good for the rest of one’s life. We wish and strive to make every student blossom intellectually, morally and spiritually.
Our experiences over the last decade of our existence have shown us how important it is to evolve and learn from all that the world teaches us. Stagnancy, in a way, can be deemed more detrimental than deterioration. Because then it becomes evident that one has lost their will to grow. The will to grow and keep learning is what sets the leaders apart from the followers. And at VIS, we nurture leaders.
Apart from our intent to provide the best possible education to our students and our will to give them an environment conducive to holistic growth, VIS gives equal, if not more, emphasis on raising our students to be humane. It is pertinent to remember the roots, the stairs that one took on their way to success, the bonds that were made to solidify their progress – and no matter how triumphant or prosperous one becomes, they should never forget those initial days of strife that lends to their evolution into a successful being.
Our own evolution from a school with a student body of around 45 to now more than 1500, and growing, has taught us that the only way to achieve success, and to enjoy it wholeheartedly is to be empathetic, determined and truthful in every single step. And that is exactly what is taught under the wings of VIS.
This fast-growing family boasts of a strong bond between staff, management, students and parents. And fueled by this love and support, we are sure that we will keep growing together.cbse schools in hyderabad|best cbse school in hyderabad with low fees
