The Life Skills program is delivered thematically, addressing relevant social, emotional, and moral issues that learners encounter in everyday life, helping shape responsible and empathetic individuals.
The CBC framework respects Kenya’s rich cultural diversity and promotes inclusivity, encouraging learners from all backgrounds to express themselves, develop their talents, and interact meaningfully with their environment.

Parental Engagement and Learner Support
We believe in building strong partnerships with parents. Learners’ progress is assessed continuously, and detailed performance reports are shared at the end of each term. Parents are encouraged to meet with class teachers to discuss academic and personal development.
We also recognize the role of home learning. Our leadership encourages regular, meaningful homework in a supportive home environment, as it reinforces classroom learning and strengthens the parent-child bond.
