The Nordic School in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania provides daycare, based on Nordic pedagogical principles, for children aged 1 1/2-6 years, Nordic language classes and a wide variety of afternoon activities for children aged 5-15 years.

The School is situated on the corner of Chole Road and Ruvu Street - a tranquil residential area next to the International School of Tanganyika (IST) on the Msasani Peninsular just outside the city centre.

Among the great facilities are a large shaded playground, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a library and spacious fanned/air-conditioned rooms. At present, there are around 50 children and eight teachers at the school. In addition language classes in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are offered to children above 5 years of age.

Children's right to, and the importance of play, is at centre stage at the School. We follow a Nordic approach to Pre school education where children develop languages, life skills and physical coordination through interaction and play, each according to their ability. The school promotes fundamental democratic values and equal value for all children/people and respect for each other.

At the Nordic School, children are celebrating traditional Nordic holidays such as Lucia, Christmas, Shrovetide (fastelavn) and Easter.
