The School
Primary Section
Our primary section introduces the children to a more formalised learning environment with the school day becoming more structured. Here they are introduced to many new concepts including word recognition, basic spelling, reading and the basic principles of Mathematics. Reading is a big priority and there is always great excitement when the little ones begin to show off their new reading and writing skills at home and at school.
Responsibility and the ability to work independently is also encouraged by our motivated and qualified teaching Staff by dedicating themselves to giving each child a solid grounding and happy school experience in an exciting and stimulating environment, which encourages the children to learn and grow on a daily basis.
Our children are able to go to any high school, as they can face challenges on an academic as well as an emotional level.
Our Journey
The Orsoline sisters of the Immaculate Virgin Mary came to Kenya in 1989 and opened a community in Adams Arcade, Nairobi. In 1993 we opened another community in King’eero. Immediately we opened a dress making school and in 1995 a health centre called St. Angela Merici. In 2006 we opened the Kindergarten, which was named Mother Danila. Mother Danila was one of our sisters from Italy who had served as a superior in Eritrea for many years. During her mandate as a superior the Eritrean sisters celebrated 50 years of their presence in the country and as a thanksgiving to God, they decided to open a new mission in Kenya.
When Mother Danila finished her term as a superior in Eritrea in 1993, she came to Kenya and joined the community in Nairobi. Unfortunately, in December 1995 she had a fatal road accident and lost her life. When we opened the Kindergarten in 2006 we named it after her in her honour. In 2015, we opened a primary school as a continuation of the kindergarten. So far we run a Kindergarten, a primary school and a health centre. The health centre and the kindergarten are in the same compound at King’eero while the primary school is in a neighbouring village called Mararo.
