Education

The French School

This is a new purpose designed Elementary & Primary School for the French community in Tanzania, built on a 1 acre site in Masaki.

Both Elementary & Primary parts of the school have their own dedicated entrances but share admin & other facilities.

The entire complex is designed through a series of open courtyards and arcaded corridors to provide multiple interesting spaces for students to explore.

Through the use of natural materials such as bamboo, as well as coloured elements and commissioned artwork, the intention is to provide as stimulating an environment for these young students as possible.

Facilities include not only teaching and canteen spaces but, at the roof level, a full 25 m pool, as well as a covered outdoor sports area to accommodate basketball, junior football & netball.
