History of Burhani School Tanga

Burhani School began in 2009, transforming the long-established Hamidyah Nursery School into a modern learning institution. We started with just 10 Nursery pupils and 4 Primary pupils in the same premises. By the following year, enrolment grew rapidly, leading to the renovation of the former Burhani Charitable Hospital to accommodate Primary classes up to Standard 7. By 2011, the school was operating at full capacity with strong academic performance.

Guided by the vision and blessings of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (R.A.), and supported by the Late Syedi Badruddin Jamali Bhaisaheb together with our dedicated committee members — Mr. Mustafabhai Mussajibhai Zavery, Mr. Hatim Jivanieebhai Anjari, and Mr. Murtazabhai Shk. Fakhruddinbhai Muhezawalla,— the school opened its doors to pupils from all backgrounds, ensuring sustainable growth.

Due to outstanding academic success and increasing demand, Burhani School expanded to Secondary education in 2017 after obtaining all mandatory approvals. Today, Burhani Nursery, Primary, and Secondary stand as a trusted centre of excellence for the Tanga community.

Information Technology & Digital Education

Burhani School is a leading institution in Tanzania in integrating ICT into education. Computer Studies is a core part of our curriculum, and students benefit from modern learning technologies.

All classrooms are equipped with Smart Boards creating interactive and engaging lessons while reducing reliance on traditional chalk teaching.

In 2022, we launched Digital Learning for Form I using customized Android tablets with the Quest Forward Learning Program. This NECTA-approved platform allows students to learn at their own pace, explore their interests, and build strong academic and personal skills.

The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled, and students use digital tablets across all levels, preparing them for a technology-driven world and positioning Burhani School at the forefront of digital education.

At Burhani School, we know a healthy body fuels a healthy mind. Our students enjoy a rich sports program, including Football, Cricket, Netball, Volleyball, Badminton etc. alongside regular fitness activities to build strength, stamina, and teamwork.

Swimming is offered from Nursery to Secondary, and students have access to Tanga Gymkhana for professional-level sports experiences. Through these opportunities, we foster confidence, discipline, and lifelong healthy habits in every learner.
