"I am nineteen years old and one of the first students to enroll at GOSESO. Our instructors have an amazing ability to teach complex issues in a way that we can all understand. The small class size at GOSESO ensures that we get individualized, personal attention from our teachers. What impresses most is availability of numerous field trips to natural reserves, such as Gombe and Mahale National Parks. Our campus is also in a special ecological area, located on the peak of Kitobe Forest at Kiganza village, about eight miles from Kigoma Town, Tanzania." - Bashiru Gulana |
We aim to operate a residential school, "School within Walls", for as many as 500 students learning in an environmentally integrated fashion, comprised of equal number of males and females. The majority of the student body will reside on campus, while the remainder will be day students from nearby villages. Student enrollment priority is given to applicants who have demonstrated a deep concern for local ecosystems and human communities. Gifted students are drawn from Tanzania and other neighboring African countries. Click here to view the faces and reflections of some GOSESO students from 2010.
Each prospective student is asked to submit an application package, which includes: a personal statement of interests in life, hobbies, sports, honors and extracurricular activities; an essay on why their interests are of personal importance; and two letters of recommendation from teachers which address the student's academic performance and merit.
