The Aga Khan Nursery and Primary School, Dar es Salaam welcomes boys and girls of all nationalities, races, religions and cultural heritage. Admissions for the early years (ages 3-5) are on a rolling basis. Click here to apply today.

Selection Process

All students seeking admission to either the nursery or primary section take an entrance assessment.

Where students are equal in merit and there are limited places available, precedence will first be given to siblings of students already attending any of the Aga Khan schools and second to siblings of graduates of the Aga Khan Mzizima Secondary School, Dar es Salaam.

Time of Admission

The admission process normally takes place between March and June before the beginning of the school year in August. Students may be admitted mid-year if there are places available.

Procedure

Announcements are made in the local newspaper and our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn) inviting applications for admission. Information is provided regarding the closing dates for submitting application forms, as well as the dates and times of the entrance assessment.

Before sitting for an entrance assessment, a completed application form has to be submitted together with other required documents.

Where there are more eligible applicants than available places for a particular grade level, admission will be on a first come, first served basis.

Parents should contact the school for alternate arrangements if their children are not able to sit the entrance assessment on the scheduled date. The school will accommodate an alternate date if there are still places available in that grade level.

Visits to the School

Parents and prospective students are most welcome to make an appointment to meet the head of school to tour the school.

Office hours are 7:15 am to 4:00 pm.
