🎓 A Truly Integrated Curriculum
What makes our curriculum unique is the way we blend three world-class approaches:
✅ CBC Curriculum (Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum)
We align with CBC standards to ensure children gain essential competencies in communication, problem-solving, self-awareness, and creativity.
✅ Montessori Method
Children are given the freedom to choose learning materials, develop independence, and explore their interests in thoughtfully prepared environments.
✅ Reggio Emilia Approach
We embrace child-led exploration and emphasize expression through art, nature, storytelling, and collaborative projects. Classrooms become living laboratories where learning comes alive.
This powerful blend allows us to deliver a truly integrated early childhood curriculum that supports the whole child.
🌿 Nature-Inspired Learning in a Safe Karen Location
Located in a green and secure setting in Karen, our school offers spacious outdoor learning zones. From planting gardens to exploring natural textures, children connect with the world around them—fostering mindfulness, responsibility, and curiosity.
Our outdoor learning areas are not just for play—they’re essential parts of the classroom. Children learn in and from nature: planting gardens, exploring textures, and observing the world around them.
This connection to nature encourages mindfulness, responsibility, and a sense of wonder.
💛 Emotional Growth is Our Superpower
In addition to academics, we prioritize the emotional well-being of every child. Children at Arenville are taught to:
- Name and manage their emotions
- Build healthy friendships
- Solve problems peacefully
- Practice gratitude, compassion, and resilience
We believe emotional intelligence is as important as academic performance—and we embed these lessons into daily classroom life.
✝️ Grounded in Faith, Guided by Values
Arenville Academy is a Faith-centered school. Faith is not a separate subject—it’s the heart of our community. Through prayer, Bible stories, music, and service, children are grounded in values like:
- Integrity
- Respect
- Kindness
- Responsibility
- Gratitude
We aim to raise not just successful students, but honest, grounded, and courageous humans.
👨👩👧👦 We Partner with Parents
We know that a child’s growth flourishes when home and school work together. That’s why we:
- Maintain regular parent communication
- Host family events and workshops
