St. Peter Claver High School

What St. Peter Claver High School does

St. Peter Claver High School is a Jesuit secondary boarding school located in Ihumwa, approximately 15 km from Dodoma town along the Dar es Salaam road in Tanzania. Founded in 2011 and operated by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), it welcomes boys and girls of all faiths and provides education from Form One through Form Six, culminating in the Tanzanian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE) and Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE). The school is built around the Jesuit educational philosophy of forming the whole person — intellectually competent, religious, loving, justice-committed, and open to growth — guided by the principles of Magis, Cura Personalis, and AMDG.

The academic offering spans O-Level and a broad A-Level curriculum with 14 specialized subject combinations across sciences (PCB, PCM, PGM, PMC), humanities (HGL, HGK, HKL, HGLi, HGE), and business (ECM, EGM, CBG, EBuAc, BuAccS). Boarding facilities include daily meals, safe water, and on-campus health care. Spiritual formation is delivered through a Campus Ministry program with daily Mass, retreats, and service-learning activities such as Form Six visits to the Mother Teresa of Calcutta Charity Center in Hombolo. Co-curricular life is organized through five houses (Africa, Mikumi, Nile, Kilimanjaro, Victoria) that compete annually in sports, dance, debate, and academics — a system introduced in 2022. Infrastructure includes a self-dependent library accommodating more than 150 students and a chapel that can host more than 1,500 students simultaneously.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and boarding fees on a recurring annual basis, supplemented by a one-time Tsh. 20,000 admission form fee. Tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed. Student acquisition relies on direct admissions via downloadable application forms on the school website, referrals through the Jesuit and Catholic community network, and the school's news-and-events content. The school is led by Headmaster Fr Karongo, with Fr Kimonge serving as Head of the Jesuits on campus.
