About Us

         At VH English Medium School, we treasure the uniqueness of each child, promote healthy families and provide key experiences that support children’s natural interests as they explore, learn and discover.  Our school’s mission and values are at the heart of everything we do. We focus our work with children to develop their potential in communication, social-emotional, cognitive, self- help, early academics, motor and creative skills.

VH English Medium School’s values and the experiences we provide are at the centre of all we do. Curiosity is a foundation for language development.  Our lesson plans are designed to foster learning in a natural and engaging way. Children learn best when activities are meaningful to them.  We support this through our use of inquiry-based instruction and hands-on learning activities. We know that how children learn is essential to their individual growth; as is their ability to see themselves as a learner and a group member.

Our school uses the Teaching Pyramid and Positive Behaviour Intervention Supports (PBIS) approaches in working with our students to develop solid social-emotional learning skills.

          We ensure that our students have quality time with their peers and with the teachers.  VH English Medium School maintains a low adult to student ratio to support our students as they go about their business of project and play-based learning. We love our monthly assemblies that bring unique experiences to our students!  Nature’s Critters teaches our children to become caring citizens of the world around us; we learn about creatures small and large.  Puppet Theatre comes monthly as well and brings children’s stories to life for us. We respect that you are your children’s first teachers and we love your volunteerism. Your work with our monthly festivals makes them all the more fun for everyone! Our Parent Collaborative is open to all parents and acts as a group to make decisions about our school community. Requests for parent classes such as car-seat workshops, children’s health practices, positive behaviour strategies, and our read-at-home program are some of the program decisions from our Parent Collaborative.
We ensure that our instruction begins with our student’s “information building” level.  We use observations of our students’ response to teaching! Observation and performance drives our instruction!  Sharing progress with you is done throughout the year and at any time you would like to meet. Twice a year, we have formal conferences with you, using the Desired Results Profile.
We value quality throughout our school and maintain a collaborative staff of highly qualified teachers and instructional assistants who love their work and our students.
VH English Medium School is Top Preschool in Moshi which strives for excellence and embraces the diversity that comprises our school community. It is our mission to honour each child and to help each child honour the similarities and differences in the friends that they make at school.  In doing so, they also gain a greater understanding of themselves.
Our curriculum reflects a variety of ethnic and cultural experiences…as does our nation.
In accordance with VH English Medium Pre School in Moshi policies, we refrain from the teaching of religion and religious practices. VH English Medium School does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, creed, colour or gender, gender orientation, or national origin.
We welcome the enrolments of any child; children with or without disabilities.
