Education for Liberation
East African Pre & Primary School's provides pre-primary and primary education in Arusha, where academic excellence, character development and personal discipline prepare every child for the years ahead.
Welcome to our school
Building Bright Futures Through Education
We believe that a child's early years of schooling shape everything that follows. Our teaching is deliberate and structured: clear objectives, regular practice, prompt marking and close attention to each pupil's progress.
From the first day in Baby Class to the final year of primary school, children are guided by teachers who know them well. Lessons build steadily on what came before, so that pupils gain both knowledge and the confidence to use it.
Alongside academic work, we give attention to discipline, courtesy and responsibility. Our motto, Education for Liberation, expresses our purpose: education that frees a child to think clearly, work honestly and contribute to the community.

Our programmes follow the Tanzanian education context, from the first steps of pre-primary learning through to the end of primary school.
Baby Class · Middle Class · Pre-Unit
Pre-Primary Education
Our pre-primary classes introduce young children to school life in a warm, structured setting. Learning is practical and guided, with short activities, plenty of repetition and constant encouragement.
Teachers use play, songs, stories, drawing and hands-on materials to build early literacy and numeracy. Children learn to listen, take turns, follow instructions and express themselves clearly in English and Kiswahili.
Key learning areas
- Early reading, phonics and handwriting
- Numbers, counting, shapes and patterns
- Language and confident self-expression
- Creative work: drawing, colouring and craft
- Music, movement and outdoor play
- Personal care, tidiness and good manners
Student development
By the end of pre-primary, children are ready for Standard One: settled in a classroom routine, able to read and write simple words and numbers, and comfortable working both alone and with others.
Standard One to Standard Seven
Primary Education
Primary classes follow the Tanzanian primary curriculum, with structured lessons across the core subjects and steady preparation for the national examinations at the end of primary school.
Each subject is taught by teachers who set clear objectives, give regular exercises and mark work promptly. Weak areas are revisited through remedial work, while stronger pupils are given extension tasks.
Key learning areas
- English and Kiswahili language
- Mathematics
- Science and Technology
- Social Studies and Civics
- Religious Education
- Vocational skills, sports and creative arts
Student development
Pupils move up the school with strong study habits: reading widely, presenting written work neatly, revising for tests and taking responsibility for their own learning.
