Welcome to Cambridgeshire School

Cambridgeshire English Medium Pre & Primary School is committed to providing high-quality education in a caring and supportive environment. Located in the serene Businde area of Kigoma, we nurture young minds to become confident, responsible, and productive citizens.

At Cambridgeshire Academy, we welcome learners from all backgrounds, promoting equity, integrity, and a culture of hard work. Our Kigoma campus features double-stream classrooms, boarding facilities, transportation services, and a rich co-curricular environment. In Geita, Cambridgeshire Ridges Pre & Primary School continues the same legacy of excellence. We are proud of our students’ performance in national exams—ranking among the top in the Kigoma region and nationally in both 2022 and 2023 NECTA results. Our professional teaching staff is committed to continuous development and upholding high standards of teaching and care. Admissions are open year-round, with an entry exam for the 2025 academic year scheduled for 16 December 2024. We invite you to join a community where students are not only taught to succeed but are also inspired to lead with compassion, confidence, and integrity.
At Cambridgeshire Academy, each campus is thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of our learners. Our Daycare in Kigoma offers a joyful and nurturing environment where toddlers take their first steps into learning through play and guided activities. The Pre & Primary Day School in Kigoma emphasizes academic excellence and moral development, encouraging creativity, curiosity, and collaboration in every learner. Meanwhile, our Pre & Primary Boarding and Day School in Geita provides a structured, supportive environment where both day and boarding students benefit from care, guided study sessions, and healthy daily routines. Academically, our schools follow the Tanzanian national curriculum, enhanced with modern teaching approaches that prioritize curiosity, confidence, and effective communication.
Our students consistently achieve strong results in national assessments. To support families, we offer safe and supervised transport services in both Kigoma and Geita (excluding daycare learners), as well as daily nutritious meals prepared under strict hygiene standards, with special dietary needs considered in collaboration with parents. Student health and safety are top priorities, with first aid, regular checkups, and hygiene protocols in place; our boarding facilities are also equipped with a health care room and access to local clinics. Learners thrive in clean, stimulating classrooms complemented by outdoor play and activity areas that support both academic and physical development. Our tuition structure is fair and transparent, with flexible payment options available. For full details, we invite you to visit our Tuition & Fees page or contact our administration office directly.
