At Cherith Junior School, every child matters. Located in Arusha, Tanzania, our school is more than just a place to learn; it’s a safe space for children who face challenges many of us cannot imagine.

Many of our students come from difficult circumstances. Some face family instability, others struggle with financial hardship, and a few have experienced trauma at a young age. For these children, school is not just about reading, writing, or arithmetic; it’s a place where they are seen, heard, and valued.

Our dedicated teachers go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels supported. They don’t just teach, they listen, mentor, and encourage. Whether it’s helping a child understand a lesson, offering extra guidance after class, or simply being there to offer reassurance, our staff knows that education is deeply personal.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

We also provide opportunities for students to participate in activities that build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. From sports to community projects, children learn to work together, solve problems, and take pride in their achievements. These experiences help them grow into capable, confident individuals.

Cherith Junior School works closely with families and the wider community to provide practical support. Whether it’s assisting with school supplies, arranging counselling, or connecting families with local resources, we aim to surround each child with care and guidance.

Every small success is celebrated. When a child masters a new skill, demonstrates kindness, or overcomes a challenge, it’s a reminder that supporting vulnerable children is about more than academics; it’s about helping them believe in themselves and their future.

At Cherith Junior School, we are committed to ensuring that no child is left behind. Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream, and we strive to make that possible every single day.
