International Schools in Dar es salaam Tanzania

A large list of International schools in Tanzania are primarily concentrated in the nation’s commercial capital, DSM [Dar es Salaam], and also in the northern town of Arusha. They are mainly co-educational and English-thought, ranging from massive, cosmopolitan daily schools to tiny boarding institutions with a focus on pastoral care.

There are a total of six International schools in Tanzania that are part of the IB International Schools program, and they all educate in English. Five of them are authorized to teach the IB [International Baccalaureate] Diploma, while four are authorized to tutor three IB programs. The latter include the Tanganyika International School, Dar City International Academy, and Arusha and Moshi campuses of the Moshi International School.

International Schools in Arusha Tanzania

Braeburn International College Arusha provides the IB Diploma in addition to UK A-levels as well as IGCSEs [International General Certification of Secondary Education] and adheres to Wales and British National curricula. The Braeburn DSM [Dar Es Salaam] International School, a sister college that offers similar daycare, launched in 2015.

Also part of the International Schools in Tanzania is the small Zanzibar NGO-run International college, which offers IGCSEs [International General Certification of Secondary Education], A-levels, as well as the International Elementary Curriculum, taught from its seaside campus next to a Heritage Site. The Aga-Khan Mzizima High School, which provides the UK, IB [International baccalaureate], and Tanzanian national curriculum, is another noteworthy school.

Procedures and Some Protocols

School fees differ greatly among the International Schools in Tanzania, with some billing in United States dollars and some others billing in TZS [Tanzanian shillings]. Parents should investigate the accrediting arrangements of schools with organizations like the Committee for International Schools.

Primary schooling is compulsory from the age of seven to thirteen and parents can decide to send their wards to any of the International Schools in Tanzania. State primary schools offer free education in Swahili and English. Secondary education consists of four years of formal education and 2 years of advanced education.

In 2014, the net elementary enrolment rate was 78% of the age category, while the total secondary enrolment rate was 32% in 2013, with full admission to tertiary level accounting for only 4% of the age category.
