The school opened its doors in 1991 with a sophomore class, later adding a freshman class in the fall of 1995. The student population is kept relatively small, with typically 60-75 students per class year, thus allowing the school to maintain a low student–teacher ratio.
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 258 students and 25 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis) for a student–teacher ratio of 10.32:1.

“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
