Maua Seminary was established in 1970 by Franciscan Capuchin Missionaries from Switzerland; and it started with a small group of 30 students. Since then it has grown substantially. Currently we have 254 registered students of Form I-VI who study in Maua Seminary from different parts of Tanzania. The first Form IV graduated in 1973.
