Overview

Our primary school is a blend of the Kenyan Competency Based Curriculum from Grade 1 to Grade 6 and Junior Secondary School.


Our Lower Primary Schools were one of KNECs (Kenya National Education Curriculum) pilot schools in the assessment of the CBC curriculum and were reported to exceed expectations. We are keen on both good academic performance and excellence in co-curricular and enrichment activities.


In an anonymous parents’ survey, 94 percent of the respondents said they chose Makini because of its academic reputation.

Performance Based Learning

Through the introduction of Performance Learning , students are able to properly plan their study schedules and quality of sleep independently. By making learners aware of the relevance of the content, they are self-driven to building momentum in how they retain and recall information and this positively impacts examination performance.


“Children look forward to going to school and that is the best part because there is something good at school.”

For the lower primary (Grade 1 to 3), the academic program is organized on a block schedule as outlined in the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). Twelve learning areas are allocated across a well planned timetable which ensures a range of activities are learned each day. . Assemblies are conducted on Monday and Friday, class meetings are conducted every Wednesday and Life Skill sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. The academic year runs from January to November with two short holidays in April and August. The November and December holiday is the longest. This is in line with the school calendar as advised by the ministry of education. The beginning of an academic year in January signifies transition to a new grade.
