Warmly Welcome to Upendo Friends School

At Upendo Friends School, we believe that education is the key to a brighter future. Since our founding, we have been committed to nurturing well-rounded pupils who excel academically, socially, and morally. Our goal is to prepare responsible citizens and future leaders of Tanzania and beyond.

The school is located just minutes from Arusha Airport, offers a nurturing and holistic learning environment for Pre-Primary and Primary students. Rooted in Christian values and the spirit of partnership, the school emphasizes academic excellence alongside life skills, creativity, and leadership development. With a name that means “love” in Swahili, Upendo Friends School provides a safe, stimulating space where children grow into confident, responsible individuals.

The school stands out for its comprehensive support system: nutritious meals, clean water, secure boarding and day facilities, and safe transportation are all part of the daily experience. Students benefit from a well-equipped computer lab, coaching in diverse subjects, and practical entrepreneurship lessons that prepare them for real-world challenges. A team of ten dedicated volunteers enhances learning and care across various roles.

Upendo Friends School believes in the power of collaboration—between parents, teachers, and the wider community—to shape young minds. Support for the school directly contributes to high-quality education and the cultivation of future leaders. With a philosophy grounded in holistic development, Upendo Friends School is more than an academic institution; it’s a vibrant community where love, learning, and leadership thrive.
