Governance is via the Association of Parents of Pupils (APP), a non-profit Tanzanian-registered body formed under the cooperation framework for French education abroad. The APP's purposes include managing and developing the school, delivering instruction according to the official French curricula, and promoting collaboration between parents, management, and staff. The Management Board administers the APP and executes General Assembly decisions; the School Council oversees pedagogy and educational life, with guidance from the Head of School within the AEFE framework.
