Financial Assistance

  • Fee Remissions of up to 25% of tuition fees are available upon application to certain families who can demonstrate financial need. In addition to the standard admission application form, applicants' families will be asked to provide details of their financial circumstances.
  • Bursary Awards of up to 25% of tuition fees are available to secondary students with good academic ability. See bursary.htm for more details.
  • It is possible to apply for BOTH a fee remission and a bursary award and hence reductions in tuition fees of nearly 45% are sometimes available.

Terms & Conditions

 ISM charges tuition fees annually to cover the full costs of tuition, exercise books, loan of text books and participation in the sports, CAS and extra-curricular activities programmes. We usually charge separately for individual music lessons, as a contribution to the Outdoor Pursuits programme, or for special language instruction.

Boarding fees include the full costs of boarding care, accommodation, food, laundry and medical services provided by the school nurse or school doctor.

There are reductions on tuition and boarding fees for 2nd, 3rd and subsequent children in a family who are currently enrolled in ISM in classes other than kindergarten; these are 5%, 10% and 20% of the figures above respectively.

Fees are established in US Dollars. The figures given above in Tanzanian shillings are calculated here using an approximate exchange rate of US$1 = TSh /- and are subject to fluctuation with the exchange rate. The School uses a mean commercial bank rate each month to calculate conversion between US dollars, TSh and other currencies.

Parents of children in Early Childhood may defer payment of the Capital Development Fee and Deposit until their child joins P1.

The tuition and boarding fees shown above are fees charged for a full year in advance. There is a small additional charge applied to fees paid quarterly or in other instalments.
