Lukenya Academy British Curriculum

Academics are at the heart of our school, and we’re respected for our achievements.  But don’t just take our word for it: recently, we won BIG in the Great Places to School competition, which is open to all private schools in Kenya, 8-4-4 and International.  We won for our Value Added success, or the difference we help children to create between their incoming and outgoing grades.

We’re especially proud of this because we’re a consciously mixed-ability school that believes ALL children, whatever their intake grades, have a right to access.

Whether entering Lukenya British Curriculum from the 8-4-4, the new CBC or other East African and global systems, pupils can be assured of a seamless and painless academic transition.  Our experienced and well-trained teachers will ensure this.

IGCSEs

Our core qualification is the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), which is the international version of the GCSE that students in Britain read towards.  IGCSEs are globally-respected, and we offer them through both Cambridge AND Pearson-Edexcel, tailoring our courses to the needs of learners and the skills of our enthusiastic staff, all of whom are externally trained in the British Curriculum as well as being professionally in-serviced.

We offer IGCSEs in a range of subjects, both traditional and ‘new’, such as Environmental Management, Travel & Tourism, and Global Perspectives, which is a critical-thinking subject based around important local and global Social Issues.

The IGCSE can lead directly to further education in Kenya or abroad, but we have already planned to offer, from September 2023…

A Levels – from 2023

A Levels are sometimes known as the Gold Standard of British education, and although IGCSEs in some societies can alone lead directly to university, in other societies that offer three-year university degrees, the A Level is often required.

We intend to offer a tailored range of A Levels, and are already training our staff, well in advance, to provide the best small-community A Level education that can be found in Kenya.  We’ll do this with our usual lack of pretentiousness and our renowned expertise.

Our students deserve the best, and we’re planning for that from DAY ONE!  Any child joining our school for IGCSEs from now onwards will find, we anticipate, that a fine A Level school awaits them AFTER those IGCSEs, if indeed this is the route they choose.
