St. Constantine’s International School (SCIS) is a 3-18, non-denominational, co-educational, day and boarding, international school. The school is a member of AISA, BSO, COBIS, Round Square, and both Cambridge and Edexcel international examination boards, currently serving 600 students (including 85 boarders) from over 30 different countries. SCIS is the largest international school in northern Tanzania and has gorgeous gardens and playing fields, sitting in beautiful tree-lined surroundings under Africa’s 5th highest mountain, Mount Meru, on the world-class northern game park circuit. The school follows the EYFS in early years, the Cambridge International Programme from Year 1-9, and then IGCSE and A-level / BTEC programmes.
