About Olgun
A boarding secondary school for boys in Tomondo, Unguja. Our motto is three words: Discipline. Knowledge. Bright Future.
Our school
Olgun opened in 2018. Today 40 boys from Form 1 to Form 4 live and study on one campus in Tomondo, with room for 100. Eight teachers, including the Principal, and ten boarding staff look after them.
Boys sit the Zanzibar Form 2 examination set by the Zanzibar Examinations Council (BMZ) and the national Form 4 examination, the CSEE, set by NECTA. Our first Form 4 class sat the CSEE in 2025: all 15 boys passed, 14 of them in Division I or II.
Every boy boards. The school day, evening study, meals, prayer and sport all happen on the same campus, and ten adults are on campus every night.
What our motto means
- Discipline.
- A structured day, clear rules and adults who keep them, so boys can concentrate on learning.
- Knowledge.
- Careful teaching of the national curriculum, laboratory practicals and supervised evening prep every school day.
- Bright Future.
- Results that open the next door, and good character that boys carry with them after Form 4.
