Students at a Tumaini school
Student life

The days that make the schooling

Lessons matter, but so do the afternoons, the evenings and the weekends. This is what life is like for a learner in the Tumaini group.

Every day

Six things that shape a Tumaini week

Academic work is the core of the week. These are the routines that fill the rest of it.

Boarding and pastoral care

Tumaini Senior Secondary is boarding only for all O-Level and A-Level students; Tumaini Junior Primary School runs both day and boarding programmes. Supervised study, clear routines and staff who know every learner by name.

Clubs and student leadership

Debate, music, drama, environmental and academic clubs, plus elected class and house representatives, so every learner has a place to lead and a group to belong to.

Sport for every level

Football, athletics, basketball and netball run through the Sports Academy pathway, with inter-school competitions and house teams that make the school day more than lessons.

Music, drama and the arts

Performance is part of the school year, not an extra. Learners take part in choirs, drama productions and arts showcases in front of the whole school.

Community service

Environmental projects and community outreach connect learning to the world beyond the gate, supported by our conservation and UNESCO-aligned partnerships.

Meals and daily life

Nutritious meals, health supervision and a calm daily routine keep learners in the best condition for learning — on campus and in the dormitories.
