Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) is the world’s largest provider of international education programs and qualifications having been established over 150years ago. Currently, there are over 10,000 Cambridge schools in more than 160 countries. Therefore, the adoption and implementation of (CAIE) at our Primary school is a well thought out process to affirm a strong academic foundation for posterity. Cambridge International Education, builds global mindedness, creativity and admirable skills that prepare students for lifelong learning.
We are a school with unique academic tradition that blends Cambridge Primary and International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The hallmark of IPC is that it has over 130 units of work that can be modified to suit our learning environment. It is also rigorous and gives room for for creativity, critical thinking as well as research skills. The division of the each unit under subject goals, personal goals and international goals gives rise to formative assessment based on skills, knowledge and understanding. Great emphasis is put on thematic approaches to learning that ensure students see the interconnectedness of the subjects they learn. Our curriculum is enhanced with digital literacy platforms that include Mathletics and Reading Eggs which develop the 21st century skills. We boast of a dedicated team of professional teachers who embrace modern teaching methods as well as latest innovative technology in teaching and learning.
We value academic excellence that focuses on three main educational pillars: knowledge, skill and understanding. Our balanced curriculum in both curricular and extra-curricular activities is unmatched as we offer a rich and diverse menu of events. That is why each student in our school is given room for growing spiritually, morally, socially, emotionally as well as academically. The outstanding blend of IPC and Cambridge International Assessment is a heavenly and established academic journey that we pride in at Light International School, Mombasa.
