Robert Louis Stevenson School, Samoa

Robert Louis Stevenson School is a private school situated in Apia, Samoa. It was first established in 1987 and was the first private School to operate in the country. Robert Louis Stevenson School was previously known for achieving high academic results in Samoa's National Examinations (SSC and SSLC Exams). However, an influx of new students from public schools, as well as students who have been expelled from other schools around the country, have meant that the academic achievements, as well as the standards of the school have drastically dropped. Many of the alumni from Robert Louis Stevenson School have complained about the constant brawls between students which tarnish the school's reputation, as well as the deteriorating facilities of the school.

There are roughly 40 staff members and 600 students. However, the teachers constantly change as many only seek temporary employment at the school.

The school celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017.[1]
