For over 30 years, Scolastica School has been more than just a place of learning—it has been a launchpad
for success, a home for creativity, and a community where young minds flourish. Since our founding in
1994, we have remained steadfast in our mission to provide children with the very best start in life,
shaping them into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals ready to take on the world.
At Scolastica, education goes beyond textbooks. We cultivate curiosity, ignite passions, and instil
values that last a lifetime. Our students don’t just learn—they discover, innovate, and grow in an
environment that is safe, vibrant, and filled with joy. With a perfect blend of academic excellence and
personal development, we equip them with the creativity to dream big, the confidence to chase their
goals, and the courtesy to lead with kindness.
Guiding them every step of the way is our team of dedicated, world-class educators—mentors who inspire,
challenge, and support each child to reach their full potential. But education is a partnership, and our
strong connection with parents ensures that every student is surrounded by encouragement, both at home
and in school.
Our students are more than learners; they are pioneers, leaders, and visionaries in the making. They are
polite, independent, and eager to explore new horizons. Most importantly, students are happy, because at
Scolastica, we believe that happiness fuels success—and when children feel valued, they achieve
greatness.
Scolastica is not just a school; it is a journey of discovery, a hub of excellence, and a family that
nurtures brilliance. Trust us with your child’s future, and we promise to deliver not just achievers,
but confident, compassionate, and world-ready individuals.

Honoring the founders whose passion and leadership laid the foundation for excellence.
Our visionary founders, Mrs. Scolastica Edward Shayo and Mr. Edward Shayo established Scolastica Schools with the mission to provide a world-class education that nurtures academic excellence, integrity, and leadership. With years of experience in Hospitality and Engineering, have a deep commitment to shaping future leaders, they continue to guide the school towards achieving its vision of being the best national school in Tanzania.
With deep gratitude and immense admiration, Scolastica School extends our heartfelt thanks to Mrs.
Scolastica Edward Shayo for her extraordinary vision and dedication, in establishing Scolastica
Schools.
Scolastica began in the sitting room of Mrs. Scolastica Edward Shayo with just three students—a humble
yet powerful beginning that blossomed into an institution of excellence. What started as a simple
dream has flourished into a beacon of knowledge, shaping young minds and empowering future leaders.
Her unwavering commitment to education has transformed countless lives, providing a foundation of
excellence, discipline, and opportunity for generations to come. Her passion, resilience, and
relentless pursuit of academic excellence continue to inspire students, teachers, and the entire
community. Because of her efforts, Scolastica Schools stand as a testament to the power of
education and the impact of a single individual’s dream to create lasting change.
Tangu mwaka 2000, lango kuu la Shule ya Scolastica limekuwa na sura ileile isiyosahaulika—Bwana Mchamungu Kiweru. Kwa zaidi ya miaka 25, yeye ndiye amekuwa mlinzi wa kwanza kuona siku inaanza, na mara nyingi wa mwisho kuhakikisha kila kona iko salama kabla ya usiku kuingia.
Wanafunzi, walimu, na wazazi wote wanamfahamu—si tu kwa sare yake ya kazi, bali kwa tabasamu la kirafiki, macho makini, na nidhamu ya hali ya juu. Amejenga jina lake kupitia kazi yake ya uaminifu, akihakikisha kwamba mazingira ya shule yanabaki kuwa salama kwa kila mmoja anayevuka lango la Scolastica.
"Mchamungu si tu mlinzi; ni sehemu ya roho ya Scolastica," anasema mwalimu mmoja wa muda mrefu. Kwa hakika, ameona watoto wa darasa la kwanza wakihitimu kidato cha sita, na hata wengine wakirudi kama walimu au wazazi—na wote humkumbuka kwa jina na heshima kuu.
Katika kipindi hicho chote, hakujawahi kuwa na tukio ambalo halikuwa chini ya uangalizi wake. Amezuia hatari, akatatua migogoro midogo kabla haijakua, na kila siku—kwa mvua au jua—alihakikisha usalama unatawala.
"Unapomuona Mchamungu Kiweru, unajua uko mahali salama," mwanafunzi mmoja alisema. Uwepo wake una maana kubwa: ni kioo cha utulivu, nguvu ya utamaduni wa shule, na mfano bora wa uadilifu.
Leo hii, tunampongeza na kumshukuru kwa huduma yake ya kipekee kwa familia ya Scolastica. Kwa miaka 25, amekuwa nguzo isiyoyumba, akilinda si tu majengo ya shule, bali pia ndoto, matumaini, na maisha ya maelfu ya vijana.
