Prep School
Our Prep School teaches children aged 5 to 13 years. Our holistic approach to the curriculum balances strong academics with art and sports. This includes an extensive activities programme for pupils to pursue their interests. Within our curriculum framework, we contextualise learning to maximise the opportunities our environment offers, both in Kenya and across Africa.
Language learning in the younger years focuses on pupils enjoying and gaining confidence in languages other than their own. Our small class sizes enable teachers to give pupils the individual attention needed to maximise every child’s potential.
