Hillock English Medium School · Kisiwani, Kilimanjaro Region
Where it begins
Hillock — a living example.
Hillock English Medium School began in 2021 with ten pupils in Kisiwani. Today 155 students and 15 teachers learn here, from nursery to Grade 7 — and in 2026 the school celebrated its very first Standard 7 graduation.
Hillock is where the Pamoja philosophy is lived every day: English from an early age, creativity beside the curriculum, and a school built step by step with the community.
What we do
Learning that reaches everywhere.
A school at the heart, and projects around it that let a whole community grow. Our learning philosophy →
