On behalf of the staff and students of Braeburn
School, Nairobi, Kenya it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website.
At Braeburn School, our children receive a broad, balanced and child-centered
education.
"Bringing out the best in our children", is our constant aim. This
means developing and nurturing a successful blend of creativity,
confidence and courtesy, which will equip our young people to cope
with the demands of life in the 21st century, wherever in the world
they may live. We encourage all our students to develop their individual
talents to the full whilst at Braeburn and to aspire to excellence
in all they undertake, whether it be in the classroom, on the sports
field or in any magnitude of extra-curricular activities which we
are able to offer here.
We believe strongly in a holistic approval to learning where an
equal emphasis and weighting is placed on academics, sports, music,
the arts and drama.
A multi-cultural and diverse community, over 60 nationalities are
represented in the 600 strong student body. Over 60 graduate teachers
deliver the curriculum which follows the National Curriculum of
England and Wales.
Braeburn's superb facilities were recently described by a visiting
Headmaster from South Africa as "Second to none in Kenya". All classrooms
have been newly refurbished and we boast "state of the art" Specialist
Teaching rooms which include a science laboratory, computer suite,
pottery workshop, art room, design - technology room, music rooms
and an audio-visual suite. The school is also justly proud of its
well-stocked library and its two theatres.
Braeburn possesses a thriving learning support department. Its team
of well trained and experienced special needs teachers cater for
the needs of children with moderate learning difficulties and for
a large number of our children who have English as an additional
language or indeed no English at all.
However, a school is not about building and facilities. It is about
people.
Braeburn is staffed by a dedicated, hard working and professional
body of teachers. Our parents are actively involved in the school
and feel very much part of what goes on. Finally our students, they
are a delight. Polite, enthusiastic, well mannered, independent
and keen to learn they are an absolute credit to the school. But
most important of all, they are happy, and happy children learn.
Braeburn School is one of the lagerst IAPS schools in the world.
Its international standards are of the highest order. See our last
IAPS inspection
report here.
Braeburn is a happy and fun place to be. Trust
your children to this school and we will deliver happy and confident
achievers in return.
