School Life & Learning

A strong, caring CBC education from Pre-Primary through Junior School β€” and a full life beyond the classroom that helps every child grow in confidence and character.

Our Programmes

Learning at every stage

We follow Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), with teaching tuned to how children actually grow and learn.

🧸

Pre-Primary (PP1–PP2)

Play-based early learning that builds language, numbers, motor skills and confidence β€” and a genuine love of school.

✏️

Primary (Grade 1–6)

Core CBC learning areas taught with care: literacy, mathematics, science, creative arts and more, with regular assessment.

πŸ”¬

Junior School (Grade 7–9)

A broad, rigorous curriculum that stretches learners and prepares them well for senior school and beyond.
