Admissions
Braeburn Dar es Salaam International School takes great pride in its ethos of inclusivity, welcoming every student regardless of gender, race, religion, or culture. We’re proudly non-selective, and to help every child settle in and thrive from day one, we use a simple admissions assessment to understand each student’s starting point, not to decide who can join us.
Before starting the admissions process, we recommend visiting the school for a tour, or arranging an informal chat with the Headteacher if you’re currently outside the country. And while our academic year begins in September, we offer rolling admissions — so your family can join us at any point in the year.

Our Application Process
Submit An Enquiry
Ready to find out more about a place for your child? Complete our enquiry form or reach out to our Admissions team directly by phone or email — we’re here to support your family through every step of the enquiry process and answer any questions you may have.
Visit Us
We’d be delighted to welcome you to our campus — or meet you online, wherever you’re joining us from. Our in-person and online visits are the perfect way to meet our Headteacher and team, see the school for yourself, and talk through how we can support your child.
Submit an Application
Once you’re ready to move forward, you can apply for a place at our school, and our Admissions team will guide you through every step — from submitting the right documentation to arranging a taster day, where your child can spend time with us and experience the school firsthand.
If any further assessment is needed to understand how best to support your child, our team will talk you through exactly what that involves and what happens next.
Offer of a Place
Once your application is complete, our Admissions team will be in touch to confirm your child’s offer of a place. All that’s left is to sign the acceptance form — and from there, we’ll support you and your child every step of the way as you prepare for that first exciting day at Braeburn.
