Hello and welcome to Braeburn Kisumu International School.

Braeburn Kisumu International School is day co-educational school situated less than two kilometres from Kisumu City in the lush Milimani suburb. Braeburn Kisumu is an international learning community providing a broad-based and balanced curriculum in a safe and supportive environment, which encourages all to achieve their full potential. The school operates within the framework of the British National Curriculum, in line with other Braeburn schools.

The Foundation Stage caters for children from play group to reception class (2 to 5 years), where all aspects of learning are integrated. Key Stages 1 and 2 cater for children from ages 5 to 11 and we offer a full academic programme in line with the curriculum. The Key Stage 3 programme has been introduced one class at a time over the last three years and in September 2007 we will launch the Year 9 class (ages 14-15). Information and Communication Technology is integrated into all aspects of learning, which takes place in a warm supportive environment. With high expectations, students love this environment and all strive to do their best.

Of equal importance to us is developing the whole person and encouraging students to discover and develop their talents. Consequently, we offer a wide range of extra curricular activities including swimming, board games, street hockey, badminton, Community Life activity skills, drama, tennis and music. Private music lessons are also available for students who want to further pursue their music talent.

Our qualified staff and small class sizes ensure that each student's progress is closely monitored. Students are assessed throughout the year in a variety of ways. Formal assessment is carried out at the end of Year 2 which marks the end of Key Stage 1, and in Year 6 at the end of Key Stage 2. Other year groups also have standardized assessment at the end of each year in English and Maths. Parents are kept informed of their children's progress through parent-teacher conferences, termly reports and open days.

Our school has an 'open door' policy to parents, who participate in reading, helping in the library and accompanying students on field trips. Many parents join their children for a picnic lunch at school. We feel the parents' participation enhances children's learning.

Braeburn Kisumu equips your child with the skills, attitude and quality of character necessary to become productive members of society.
