Field Study
ISM is proud of its long-standing programmes of fieldwork, environmental awareness and outdoor pursuits. This tradition has included a residential fieldwork experience for students in the MIddle Years Programme (MYP), coursework in preparation for IGCSE for students in S5, and extended research in the field for IB diploma students.
The school owns a Field Study Centre at Pangani on the Indian Ocean coast. The study centre is in a house overlooking the ocean with excellent opportunities for studying the Tanzanian coastline and marine life. The small town of Pangani is itself rich in history with much evidence of the periods of colonial rule by Arabs, Germany and Britain; Pangani was also very much a centre for the slave trade in the region.
The study centre is also available for parents and teachers to arrange to use when it is not is use by school groups.Many student groups within the school also undertake field study in Moshi and Arusha, on Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, and in the many national parks in this region.
