Scheduled to open in 2027, the school will be part of Infinity Hills, a mixed-use community featuring sustainable housing and modern infrastructure within the UNESCO heritage zone of Stone Town. The collaboration, which is non-binding, marks a major step toward advancing educational access and quality in Zanzibar, positioning GSM as a long-term partner in the region’s growth.
The proposed school will deliver international-standard education aligned with Zanzibar’s development goals, emphasizing digital innovation, STEM learning, and teacher training. GSM will bring GEMS Education’s 68-year legacy of academic excellence and its proprietary ASPIRE model, while Infinity Developments will contribute expertise in sustainable construction, master planning, and community integration.
Together, the partners aim to build a transformational learning environment and create capacity-building opportunities for local educators through leadership and training programmes.
Robert Tarn CBE, Managing Director, GEMS School Management, said:
“We look forward to exploring this partnership with Infinity Developments, marking an important step in GSM’s expansion across Africa. Zanzibar offers a unique opportunity to extend access to high-quality education and support the government’s vision for an inclusive, future-ready school system.”
Samuel Saba, Founder and Chairman, Infinity Developments, added:
“Education is the foundation of every thriving community. Partnering with GSM allows us to bring that vision to life, creating a school that stands for excellence, sustainability, and opportunity at the heart of Infinity Hills.”
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to education-led community development and opens the door to future partnerships across Africa, where both organisations see growing opportunities to pair world-class schooling with visionary real estate projects.
This announcement outlines a potential collaboration between GEMS School Management (GSM) and Infinity Developments and is non-binding in nature, creating no legal or financial commitment by either party.
