Thursday 13th September on our Arusha campus saw the first meeting of the ISM Governing Board for the 2018/19 school year.
Arusha Boarding House Project
The final plans for the Arusha Boarding House were discussed and it is with excitement that we announce that construction will start very soon. This means, that by the beginning of the next school year, Arusha campus will make its transition from a day school to a boarding school.
Application for UWC preliminary approval
ISM’s application for preliminary approval to join the United World college movement is currently being written. Preliminary approval is the second (and often felt to be the most crucial) step in securing UWC membership. Our proposal will be put forward to the 16-member, UWC International Board next month and it is anticipated that we will hear the outcome of our application by the end of October.
Of course we are hoping that our application will be successful, however we also reminded ourselves of the process the school has undertaken to get to this point. The decision to pursue UWC membership was made in the understanding that, regardless of the outcome, the process of self reflection and improvement would benefit the school and reinforce the commitment of all stakeholders to our core values. This in itself affirms and strengthens the institution. Securing UWC membership will be the icing on the cake.
We take this opportunity to wish you a good year at ISM.
Tine Hemelings and Anna Marsden
