MONTESSORI:
Montessori course was developed by Dr Maria Montessori almost a century ago. It is a comprehensive educational approach from birth to adulthood based on the observation of children’s needs in a variety of cultures around the world. It contains specially designed, manipulative ‘materials for development’ that invite children to engage in learning activities for their own individual choice.

The Al Muntazir Union Nursery School is working in conjunction with Montessori Training Association of Tanzania (MTAT) to train the teachers on ways and methodologies of handling Montessori classes.

PRIMARY EDUCATION
The Primary education at Al Muntazir is divided into Lower School and Upper School. The lower schools are set in a structured but relaxed environment where children are allowed to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. This is done through small groups or individual teaching. There is more focus on field trips, workshops. The Upper school offers a rich and comprehensive program that provides the necessary knowledge and skills to students to prepare for secondary education.

NECTA EDUCATION (Secondary Education)
NECTA (National Examination Council for Tanzania) was established by the local government as a basis for Secondary Education including O Levels and A Levels. It allows Tanzanian Schools to study a syllabus set by NECTA and sit for NECTA Examinations (National Examinations). Currently Al Muntazir Islamic Seminary is phasing out of NECTA in O Levels and replacing the system with Cambridge. However, NECTA is still existing in A Levels. Despite the change in structure, the academic supervisors of the school ensure there is a smooth transition from Cambridge to NECTA.

CAMBRIDGE IGCSE
The Cambridge International Examinations offer several qualifications including the IGCSE that is equivalent to O Levels studies. It is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 – 16 yr olds. It develops students and gives them excellent preparation for the next level of education. It is also recognized by Universities and Employers worldwide. At the Seminary, Cambridge is now the official syllabus for O Levels including subjects like Accounting, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Mathematics, English – Second Language, Islamic Studies, Information Technology and so on.
