Curriculum  |  Co-Curricular Activities

In December 2005, the school will start implementing the International Baccalaureate Organization’s Primary Years Programme (IBO-PYP) which, among many other things, encourages inquiry-based teaching and learning. It is delivered with a child-centred approach and an underlying philosophy of student education that features self-initiated, self-paced learning through play, discussion and project work. Teachers assume the role of facilitators of the process of inquiry.

The following subjects are offered: English language, Mathematics, Kiswahili language, Social Studies, Science and Technology, ICT, French language, Personal, Social and Physical Education (PSPE), Arts (Music, Drama and Visual arts).

Computer Studies
The Junior level is focused on subjects (Mathematics, Science and reading) or themes (floating and sinking), as well as specific software concentrating on gaining familiarity with the computer, Mathematical skills and reading proficiency. These activities are integrated in to classroom curriculum. At the higher level, the curriculum emphasizes using computers as a research tool, integrating classroom projects and the subject curriculum.

The Aga Khan Schools in East Africa are working to integrate computer learning into their curriculum to facilitate learning rather than keeping instead of computer studies as an individual subject. The overall objective is student computer literacy.
