Simba International School offers a high quality British-based Cambridge International curriculum across pre-school, Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form, with a dedicated boarding house at Tau House. It is one continuous pathway, and each stage is designed to hand a confident learner to the next.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Our Kindergarten and Day Care years are play-based. Phonics, early number, motor skills and language grow together, and children learn the routines of school in a warm, closely supervised setting.

Primary School. Cambridge Primary builds the fundamentals โ€” English, Mathematics, Science and ICT โ€” alongside music, sport and STEM activity. Class sizes stay small enough that every book is marked and every child is known by name.

Lower Secondary. The Cambridge Checkpoint years sharpen critical thinking, study habits and time management. Specialist teachers take over in fully equipped science and computer laboratories, and pupils begin to shape their IGCSE options.

IGCSE (Cambridge International). Learners sit Cambridge IGCSE across the sciences, humanities, languages and the arts. Our results have consistently been above world average, and IGCSE leads directly into Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced Level (AL) study in our Sixth Form.

Alongside these, the school prepares students for SATs and IELTS where they are needed for overseas admission, with strong coaching for academic support throughout.
