Monti International School has earned glowing praise from Kinondoni District Administrative Secretary (DAS), Warda Abdallah, for its trailblazing approach to 21st-century education, its embrace of digital innovation, and its role in nurturing young talent in Tanzania.
Speaking during the school’s fourth graduation ceremony held over the weekend at the school’s Mikocheni campus, DAS Warda commended the school for combining academic rigor with talent development, guided by the globally recognized Cambridge International Curriculum.
“We are proud to see a school like Monti International laying such a strong foundation for future generations,” said DAS Warda. “The way children here are being taught—not only academic skills but also creativity, critical thinking, and the safe use of Artificial Intelligence—reflects the kind of education Tanzania needs as we move forward.”
The Role of Parents in the AI Era
The DAS further emphasized the need for strong parent-teacher collaboration, especially in an age where technology is both an enabler and a challenge.
“As AI becomes part of our everyday lives, it is essential that parents remain close to their children, guiding them and staying involved in their education. We must ensure this generation remains innovative, ethical, and independent,” she noted.
A Visionary Approach to Education
Monti International School, which caters to learners from age one through primary, has positioned itself as a future-ready learning institution that not only delivers academic excellence but also celebrates diversity and creativity.
School Founder and Director Fatma Fernandes shared the school’s bold expansion plans and its commitment to inclusive education:
“We’re building more than just classrooms—we’re building future leaders,” she stated. “From sports infrastructure like swimming pools and basketball courts to our upcoming state-of-the-art campus in Madale with both day and boarding facilities, our goal is to empower every child to discover and grow their unique talents.”
AI in the Classroom – Empowering Teachers and Students
Fernandes highlighted Monti’s early adoption of AI tools, not only to enrich student learning but also to improve teacher efficiency.
“With AI now embedded in our systems, tasks like lesson planning that used to take hours can be completed quickly and efficiently,” she explained. “This gives our teachers more time to connect with students in meaningful ways. Importantly, all digital tools we use are child-safe and closely monitored.”
Championing Inclusivity
Monti International is also lauded for its inclusive learning environment, offering support for learners with special needs, including children on the autism spectrum.
Parental Praise for a Forward-Looking School
Parent Kaley Milao, who attended the event, shared his admiration for the school’s ethos:
“Monti is preparing our children for a world driven by technology and innovation. As a parent, I feel reassured knowing that my child is being equipped not just to survive—but to thrive—in this new era. The new campus is a welcome step toward even greater impact.”
A Beacon for Tanzania’s Education Future
As Tanzania accelerates its digital transformation agenda, Monti International School continues to set the standard for modern education—fusing global values, cutting-edge technology, and a deep understanding of every child’s potential.
