This study sheds light on the innovative pedagogical practices implemented at the Fenda da Tundavala Private School Complex, the first Chinese international school in Angola. Situated in the Urban District of Zango, municipality of Viana, Luanda, the school accommodates up to two thousand students across primary, secondary, pre-university, and secondary polytechnic levels. Established in 2021, the institution stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts and cultural exchange between Angola and China, offering over 250 employment opportunities for educators and administrative personnel. Additionally, it extends scholarships to students from vulnerable backgrounds and supports Angolan students in pursuing higher education at Huaqiao University in China. This work delves into the teaching methodologies employed, particularly addressing linguistic and cultural integration within the curriculum. Moreover, it explores how the establishment of such a school fosters closer ties between China and Angola, catalyzing cooperation in research, technology, and innovation, thereby paving the way for the development of more effective educational models.
