About the School
Maple Bloom has a distinguished 13-year history, founded by an experienced UK educator who previously operated one of Solihills top-rated pre-schools. Building on this reputation for excellence and strong parental trust, Maple Bloom opened its first pre-school campus in Tanzania in 2020.

Located in Masaki, Dar es Salaam, the purpose-built Maple Bloom Elementary campus delivers a British-style education that is internationally recognised. As a Pearson Edexcel approved centre, the school offers the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC), and a forward-thinking approach that values creativity, innovation, and practical learning. Small class sizes, strong pastoral support, and well-resourced learning spaces underpin Maple Blooms commitment to high-quality, child-centred education.

Beyond the city, Tanzania offers iconic attractions including the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibars beaches, and Mount Kilimanjaro. The warm culture and relaxed lifestyle make Tanzania a highly rewarding place to live and work.
