In Tanzania, Braeburn School, Arusha is run under the Tanzanian company Braeburn Schools Tanzania Limited. Braeburn School was started in 1968 as a primary school by an English lady who called it Braeburn House International School. Braeburn Limited bought this its first school in 1979 and simplified the name. Braeburn High School was started in 1982 at a campus just outside Nairobi called Garden Estate as a boarding school offering IGCSE examinations. When the high school moved to the Braeburn School’s Lavington campus in September 2003, the Garden Estate campus became a boarding Sixth form college. Braeburn College offers a foundation-year bridging course from Kenyan KCSE to international A Levels, AS and A Level courses, the International Baccalaureate (IB), and BTEC National and Higher National Diploma courses. Braeside School was opened in 1994 as an 8-4-4 system Kenyan private primary school. The buildings were designed to take three streams of classes, from Standards 1 to 8. In 1996 the school was changed to follow the British National Curriculum. This same year, Braeburn entered into an agreement with the University of Warwick to provide training for local teachers in the form of a Bachelor of Philosophy (Education) through a Continuing Professional Development programme. The first 13 students started in 1997, graduating in 2000. This new programme allowed Braeburn to staff Braeside School with local Kenyan teachers who were well-versed with the British National Curriculum. Also in 1996, Braeside High School came into existence, also culminating in IGCSE examinations done through the CIE. Braeburn’s interest in Tanzania came about in 1999 through the acquisition of a small private international school in Arusha, which was at the time called St.George’s School. Braeburn changed the name to Braeburn School, Arusha, and introduced A Levels in 2005. In 2007 administration of Braeburn School, Arusha was put under the new company Braeburn Schools Tanzania Limited. This company was formed to enable the group to expand further into Tanzania. In September 2004, Braeburn took over the management of Mombasa International School, based in Shanzu, north of Mombasa. In line with its other schools, Braeburn introduced A Levels to the school at the start of the 2005-2006 academic year. The last acquisition was in April 2006, a small international primary school in Kisumu established in 1985, Kisumu International School. This school has been expanded to include all year groups from Early Years to Year 8, teaching the British National Curriculum. == External links == (group's official website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Braeburn Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
