Our Story
is founded by three Zanzibari women of diverse backgrounds and upbringings.
They
share a common bond in quest for ‘high quality education’ for their children that will prepare them
to become independent learners, with early exposure to realistic environments.
Starting a school was in reality a vision that was born out of necessity; to address the challenges
and limitations facing the private school educational structure.
As professional working mothers
with children enrolled in various private schools, their personal experiences with the educational
system on Zanzibar, led them to start the school. Their hunger and determination to tackle these
issues turned into a realistic concept in 2019 and later blossomed into Leera School. This
initiative brought together some of the island’s senior academic advisors with matching educational
facilities for the school.
As natural caretakers, we, the founders of Leera School aspire for our children and others to excel
to the best of their abilities. Leera School will serve as a foundation for students to learn,
evolve and rise above their potential.
