Chi tiết công việc
Mwanza International School is a non-profit-making organisation. It is a small international school, following the British curriculum for expatriate and local children aged from three to sixteen. About 30% are expatriate.
The school opened in September 2012 and has been growing steadily ever since. There are currently about 200 children on the roll. The school is currently developing Secondary. We began with Year 7 in August 2021, and will start Year 9 in August 2023. We are then planning on adding another year group each year up to IGCSE.
We follow the EYFS curriculum in the Early Years and then the Cambridge International Programme for Primary and Secondary, modified to meet the needs of an international and Tanzanian community in East Africa. For all of our children, English is a second or third language, but we still expect them to achieve the same levels as similarly able children in a school in the UK.
Mwanza is the third city of Tanzania on the shores of Lake Victoria Compared to the UK, it has a more relaxed pace of life. The teachers live with views of the lake, two hours from the Serengeti. The school is located at Capri Point, a low density residential area, not far from the centre of the city. The school is on a mature site, and has a 50m playing field, basketball court and 20m swimming pool.
Apart from the class teachers we have specialist teachers for Kiswahili and P.E; and there are several class assistants.
The school is not high tech, but it has all the basic resources for the full curriculum. There are projectors in all classes and we have a set of shared tablets for primary IT. In secondary each student has their own designated tablet to allow for on-line work across the curriculum.
