Programs

Programmes for every stage — from first steps to PSLE.

Four programmes built around how children actually learn at each age.

From toddler explorations to PSLE excellence, our four programmes meet children where they are — and stretch them with care.

Toddler class at HBS
Toddler Class · 18 mo – 3 yrs

Toddler Class — first explorations, big curiosity.

A gentle, joyful introduction to school where wonder leads the way. Through sensory play, music, and story circles, toddlers build the motor, social, and language foundations that everything else grows from — supported by warm caregivers and predictable daily routines.

Pre-school learning at HBS
Pre-school · 3 – 6 yrs

Pre-school — playful foundations for reading, writing, and number sense.

Carefully prepared activities turn play into purposeful learning. Children meet early literacy and numeracy through phonics, hands-on materials, and creative arts — building independence, concentration, and a genuine love of learning before they ever sit a formal lesson.

Primary school classroom at HBS
Primary School · 6 – 14 yrs

Primary School — rigour, curiosity, and PSLE-ready confidence.

Our primary programme is fully aligned to NECTA and TIE standards, taught in small classes by qualified subject teachers. Daily practice, frequent feedback, and structured PSLE preparation are how our students reach 100% Daraja A — without losing the curiosity that makes learning a pleasure.

Enrichment and co-curricular activities at HBS
Enrichment · All ages

Enrichment activities — talents found, talents grown.

Beyond the core curriculum, a rich programme of clubs and activities helps every child discover what they love. From coding and robotics to chess, drama, and languages, enrichment is woven through the school week — building confidence, creativity, and well-rounded young people.

Curriculum framework

National standards, international thinking, personal pace.

Aligned to NECTA & TIE

Our programme follows the Tanzanian national curriculum and TIE syllabi end to end, with structured PSLE preparation built into the primary years. Children are assessed continuously, so nothing is left to chance when exams arrive.

International best-practice

We layer inquiry-based learning and modern pedagogy on top of the national curriculum — drawing on leading international approaches so children learn to think, question, and apply knowledge, not just memorise it.

Personalised pace

Small classes mean teachers know every child. Lessons stretch the confident and support the still-growing, with extra practice and challenge offered per child so each learner moves at the right pace for them.
