Where Rigour Meets Ambition

Our Cambridge Primary programme spans Years 1 through 3, covering ages 6 to 9. It is a full, structured primary school education — internationally accredited by the University of Cambridge and designed to prepare children for the most competitive schools in Kenya and abroad.

While we carry the Montessori spirit of curiosity and child-centred learning, Cambridge Primary is a distinct academic programme with formal lessons, structured assessments, homework, and clear progression milestones across every year group.
