Iva Werner Primary School

Iva Werner Primary School

A Christ-centered primary school where children receive a quality education while learning to know God, serve others, and develop practical life skills.

Iva Werner Primary School was established in 2004 through the generous support of Mrs. Iva Werner and officially registered in 2007.

Located on the Kibidula campus, the school provides children with a quality education in a caring Christian environment where learning extends beyond the classroom.

Education That Reflects Our Mission

As part of Kibidula, the school shares the same commitment to Training • Producing • Sending.

Our goal is to prepare young people who know God, serve others, and use their knowledge and abilities to make a positive difference wherever God leads them.

Learning by Doing

Along with the Tanzanian national curriculum, students participate in practical activities that connect classroom learning with everyday life. Practical work is not a distraction from education—it is an essential part of it. Through age-appropriate responsibilities and hands-on experiences, students develop practical skills, good work habits, and an appreciation for serving others.

Students have opportunities to participate in:

  • Gardening and orchard care
  • Flower gardening
  • Carpentry and construction
  • Sewing
  • Pottery
  • Beekeeping
  • Music
  • Healthy cooking and living

Preparing Children to Make a Difference

Each week, students participate in community outreach, visiting families, helping those in need, and learning that faith is lived out through service.

Growing in Faith

Every school day includes worship, Bible study, and prayer as students are encouraged to build a personal relationship with Jesus and reflect His love in their daily lives.

Be Part of Their Education

Whether you support the ministry financially, volunteer your skills, or pray for our students and teachers, you become part of the work God is accomplishing through Iva Werner Primary School.

Official Iva Werner Mission and Vision statements:

Mission:
Equipping children for a lifetime of faith and service by partnering with families to deliver a holistic, Christ-centered education that nurtures spiritual growth, academic excellence, and real-world skills.

Vision:
To see every student transformed into a devoted follower of Jesus, ready to shine as a positive influence. We cultivate godly character, real-world abilities, and academic excellence so they can serve faithfully wherever God leads.

Philosophy:
We believe that true education is the holistic, Christ-centered transformation of the whole child—spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and practically. In close partnership with families, we seek to cooperate with the Creator’s plan to cultivate godly character and restore His image in every student. Learning extends beyond traditional academics through meaningful work, service, nature, and hands-on experiences that build real-world abilities, wisdom, responsibility, and diligence. Our goal is not merely to prepare students for examinations or careers, but to equip devoted followers of Jesus who shine as a positive influence, serving faithfully wherever God leads in this life and for eternity.
