Arusha International School

Arusha International School (AIS) is a respected co-educational international day school located in Arusha, Tanzania's northern safari and NGO hub. The school serves students from early years through secondary school, following an international curriculum framework that combines elements of the British National Curriculum with Cambridge International examination preparation. AIS serves the diverse international community in Arusha, including staff from UN organisations such as the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, diplomatic personnel, international NGO workers, safari and tourism industry executives, and the growing Tanzanian professional community. The school's nurturing, small-community environment and personalised teaching approach are particularly valued by families new to Tanzania. Modern classroom facilities, science resources, sports areas, and a warm, inclusive school culture make AIS a trusted educational environment. The school prepares students for Cambridge IGCSE examinations at the secondary level, providing internationally recognised qualifications for university entry in Tanzania and abroad. Arusha's remarkable setting — surrounded by national parks, Mount Meru, and within sight of Kilimanjaro — provides a uniquely inspiring educational backdrop that enriches the school's environmental and outdoor learning programmes.
