A PRIVATE SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOOL IN ARUSHA MUNICIPALITY, TANZANIA, EAST AFRICA. WITH A SUBSTANTIAL SPONSORED STUDENT POPULATION.

When did we start the school:

Why did we start the school:
There has been an increasing awareness in recent years over the importance of secondary education to students failing to be enrolled in government schools despite having the needed qualifications, not only that but also to give another chance to recover along the way for those who failed exams or deadlines and therefore not allowed in government schools .

This has been in line with the government private public partnership policies in the education sub sector, which allows and actually encourages; establishment of private schools. In realization of all this, The Board of Mairiva Limited decided to establish a secondary school in one of its properties, we now think we shall be doing schools and schools only.

Why the name Mairiva?
The school name is in the memory of the Late Theresia Saronga Mlingi ( 1940 - 1978 ) , fondly known as "Mairiva" a Chagga name, these are kind of names usually given to a newborn child, other names are given at baptism and later on another traditional name is given.

Courses and Services Offered:

Mairiva Secondary School is a Co-educational school with Hostel and Catering services for both girls and boys. The school is registered by the Ministry of Education and Vocation Studies of Tanzania (Moe) and it is following the curricular and school running standards issued by the Moe, enabling students to sit for exams by the National Examination of Council of Tanzania (Necta). Students passing Necta exams can join higher learning institutions in Tanzania and elsewhere recognizing the same.
