Our story

A small beginning.
A lasting belief.

Since 1984, one belief has shaped our journey: education should nurture the whole child and help them contribute to the world around them.

Education for Liberation

Rooted in our community.
Looking towards the world.

What began with nursery and pre-unit classes in Kiambu has grown into a school community of 448 learners at Kangemi in Nairobi.

Our motto, “Education for Liberation”, reflects a purpose beyond academic preparation alone. We believe education should broaden the mind, strengthen character and encourage care for others.

At the heart of our academy is Neo-Humanistic education: an approach that develops the physical, mental and spiritual potential of children together.
