Founded in 1969 as International School Moshi, UWC East Africa has grown from a pioneering school into a globally connected learning community. As the first school in Africa to offer the International Baccalaureate, we have long been at the forefront of international education. In 2019, we joined the United World Colleges movement, becoming the 18th UWC worldwide and the second on the continent.
Today, we are one school across two campuses in Moshi and Arusha, in northern Tanzania. Together, we offer a fully accredited International Baccalaureate education through the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), alongside a strong residential life that brings students together from around the world.
Our community is made up of around 700 students aged 3 to 19, representing over 100 nationalities. More than 300 students live in our residential houses, creating a vibrant, diverse environment where learning continues far beyond the classroom. We are proud to serve both local and international families, offering an education that balances academic challenge with individual care and a strong sense of belonging.
At UWC East Africa, learning is not only about academic success. It is about building curiosity, resilience, and a sense of responsibility to others and the world around us.
