Home - Braeburn Arusha

Welcome

Having worked in many schools over the past 35 years, I can confidently say that Braeburn Arusha is truly special. While our beautiful setting, imaginative curriculum and dedicated teachers all contribute to our success, it is the inspirational children from diverse backgrounds who make the school exceptional. They are confident, caring, open-minded and welcoming, creating the warm, family atmosphere for which we are known. Wherever you come from and whatever you are aiming for, you will quickly feel at home here.

Our nurturing approach helps every child grow into a confident, resilient individual. Students are encouraged to take on leadership opportunities, share their ideas and learn from every experience. As a genuinely international school, we prepare our learners for success wherever their ambitions take them, with graduates now studying at universities in 22 countries around the world.

Our motto, Summum Appeto – ‘Reach for the Top’ – reflects our commitment to helping every child become the very best they can be. We look forward to partnering with you on that journey.

Testimonials

Clementina Sanchez

‘Both my children have thrived and are flourishing at Braeburn. They both love going to school, and we are amazed by everything they learn.’

Johnson Kiwango

‘Braeburn Arusha has done an incredible job fostering my child’s personal growth through its well-rounded approach. From nurturing curiosity to instilling strong values, my child has grown into a more thoughtful, independent, and empathetic individual.

The supportive attention from teachers, combined with a broad, engaging curriculum, has helped my child excel academically while developing a genuine love for learning.’

Julia Ramjoue

‘What touches us most is that Braeburn doesn’t just focus on knowledge, but on nurturing the whole child: curiosity, confidence, emotions, and the ability to care for oneself and others. This is the kind of education that truly prepares children for a future we cannot yet imagine.

Every morning when we walk onto campus, it feels like home. Every evening, when we ask our daughter what she is grateful for, she answers: “My school”. Braeburn has given us back our faith in education. For our daughter, it is a place of joyful learning, and for our whole family, it has become a place of belonging, warmth, and deep gratitude.’

Wonmi Lee

Curricula

Early Years

Our busy Early Years settings provide an exciting introduction to a world of learning for our youngest learners from ages 2 to 5 years. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) receive a holistic and interactive learning experience involving indoor and outdoor areas.

Primary

In our Primary School, children aged 5 to 11 years engage in meaningful learning in a dynamic environment. They are learning to work together, communicate, question and challenge, and unpick problems, with their learning going far beyond the curriculum.

Secondary

Our Secondary School curriculum for learners aged 11 to 18 years is divided into Key Stages 3 to 5. The system is progressive, and each stage builds on the knowledge and skills taught earlier. Learners benefit from a strong Library programme, in-class support, and a cross-curricular enrichment programme. Physical Education sessions provide a range of options and focused coaching.

Sixth Form

Braeburn Arusha’s Sixth Form enables our Key Stage 5 students to excel academically and mature through our enrichment programme. Students continue their studies in higher education, with the majority gaining places at their first-choice universities. Our students receive guidance and support through the university application process.
