About Us

Dar es Salaam Independent School, established 1996, is a Tanzanian English Medium School which offers International Education. We enroll students in K – grade 13. The student and teacher are multicultural, though with a bias towards Tanzania and other African countries, which allows students to increase their understanding of and respect for each others’ cultures as well as their own.
