International Schools in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Dar es Salaam’s international schools are a mix of long-established IB and British-curriculum campuses alongside schools that follow national (NECTA) or other national systems, so families can find PYP/MYP/DP, Cambridge IGCSE/A-level and national curricula within the city. English is the usual medium of instruction while Kiswahili is commonly taught as a valued subject and a number of schools offer additional modern languages such as French or German. Fees vary widely by school and year group: budget and newer international schools quote lower annual tuitions, while established IB/IGCSE schools publish substantially higher charges and additional one-off or exam costs; check each school’s published fee schedule and what it includes. Most international schools in Dar es Salaam run an academic year that begins around August - September, operate termly billing and admissions cycles, and offer rolling places where space permits, so start enquiries early and ask about deposits, waiting lists and entry assessments.
