What “CBE” Means for Your Child
Kenya’s Competency Based Education (CBE) focuses on what learners can do with knowledge—building skills, values, and confidence alongside strong academics. For parents, the key question is simple: will my child be supported to grow at their pace while being challenged to excel?
A strong CBE school makes learning visible—through projects, feedback, and steady progress from PP1 to Grade 9.
5 Things to Look For When Comparing Schools
- Clear learning pathway: A well-defined journey from Pre-Primary through Junior Secondary (Grades 7–9), with age-appropriate milestones.
- Supportive teaching and feedback: Regular communication on strengths, areas to improve, and practical next steps.
- Balanced co-curricular life: Activities that develop teamwork, creativity, leadership, and fitness.
- Safe, well-managed environment: Strong routines, supervision, and a culture of respect.
- Facilities that match learning goals: Spaces that support both classroom learning and hands-on experiences.
Day School vs. Boarding: How to Decide
Every family is different. Day school can be ideal when you prefer daily home routines and shorter commutes. Boarding can be a great fit when you want structured study time, consistent routines, and a supportive residential community—especially for learners who thrive with focused schedules.
Questions to Ask on a School Visit
- How do you track learner progress and share feedback with parents?
- What support is available for learners who need extra help—or extra challenge?
- How do you nurture character, values, and responsibility?
- What does a typical day look like for PP1/PP2, primary, and Grades 7–9?
- What are the transport and boarding options, and how is student wellbeing supported?
