  Possible Options - How Does It Work?
Introduction
International School Moshi (ISM) has truly exceptional opportunities to offer visiting schools in Africa as part of its Visiting School Programme (VSP). Situated in North-Eastern Tanzania at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, ISM provides a location to access world famous mountains, national parks and coastlines. With many years' experience in hosting visiting projects and schools using purpose-built facilities for our expanding programme, ISM is well placed to provide a memorable experience to students from across the world. Visiting schools have the chance to generate a self chosen programme that can include community service projects, safaris, trekking, climbing, coastal visits, field studies and cultural tours. A programme for a visiting school can be anything from 7 to 21 days and can be suitable for an age of 14 and above.
VSP Options
This section provides visiting schools with a selection of activities that we can provide. It enables potential visiting schools to generate and design a desired package or programme they wish to complete while in Tanzania according to their own wishes and requirements. A brief description of each activity is provided in addition to an approximate cost per person per day.
The cost includes transportation to and from the activity, food, accommodation, qualified guiding, chefs (where appropriate) and an experienced local coordinator. It is important to clarify that the cost quoted for each listed activity is approximate and is dependent on several factors, including size of group (generally, larger groups result in a lower price per person).
Once a programme has been outlined, a price per person will be quoted for the duration of the visit that includes pick up/ drop off at Kilimanjaro International Airport, accommodation, food, transport and all activities. When writing to us requesting a quote please include the following details: intended duration of visit, desired activities, number of people in the group, and age of students.
Please note that we aim to operate a minimum group size of 15 (including teachers). If you anticipate having a smaller group that this, we would recommend that you consider joining our CAS Camp which offers activities for many schools together at the same time - there is no minimum group size for the CAS Camp. Our maximum group size when ISM is in session is 30 students but, by utilising ISM's boarding facilities, we can accommodate much larger groups during school holidays.
A sample 10-day programme has been included below to give you a greater idea of a typical school visit and how a programme is structured.
