About Bensal
A family-founded school in Tubuyu, Tungi, Morogoro, teaching children from day care to Standard VII since 2008.
Our story
How Bensal began
Bensal was started in 2008 by Professor Benedict Kayombo and Mrs. Salesia Kayombo. The idea was a school in Morogoro where children learn in English from the very start, are taught by well-qualified teachers, and are expected to do well.
Their names live on in the school's own name. See how ↓
Today Bensal includes a day care for children from two years old, a pre-primary section, and a full primary school from Standard I to Standard VII. The school is registered by the Ministry of Education, and with NECTA as an examination centre, so our pupils sit the national Standard IV and Standard VII exams here at Bensal.
The school has grown steadily. In 2019, 41 pupils sat the Standard VII exam. In 2025 it was 87.
Where the name comes from
Ben + Sal = Bensal
The school is named after its two founders. Take the first three letters of each of their names, put them together, and you get Bensal.

What matters to us
How we run the school
Discipline first, then academics
Our core function is discipline, and then academics. Children who are well behaved and respectful are ready to learn, and our national exam results show what follows.
Growing in faith
We build in every child a foundation of fearing God, each within their own religion. Families of all faiths are welcome, and children of different religions learn and play together every day.
Good teachers
95% of our teachers hold a university degree. We believe a well-trained teacher is the most important thing a school can give a child.
Quality service and hospitality
Parents expect quality service and a warm welcome from us, and that is what we aim to give every family. It’s in our motto: Quality Service is Our Pride.
