Looking for a Private School in Naivasha? Explore CBC, Cambridge & Boarding | Zuri Schools

Choosing a school involves considering the curriculum, teaching approach, learning environment and opportunities available as a child progresses through different educational stages. Zuri Schools offers two educational pathways: Kenya's CBC and the Cambridge curriculum. This allows families to explore a local curriculum pathway or a British-style educational programme, depending on the learner's needs and the school's available grade offerings. The school emphasises foundational academic skills, individual attention, creativity, critical thinking and personal development. Parents can contact the admissions team to understand the subjects offered at each level, progression between grades and the requirements for transferring from another school.

Early childhood education provides the foundation for literacy, numeracy, communication, confidence and social development. Zuri Schools' Kinderstart and pre-primary programmes use the CBC and emphasise learning through play, exploration and structured school-readiness activities. The school describes its early learning environment as child-centred, with interactive learning spaces, outdoor play and opportunities to develop language and social skills. Parents seeking a pre-primary school in Naivasha can enquire about admission ages, available classes, school routines, learning materials and the transition into Grade 1.

Zuri Schools offers CBC primary education for Grades 1–6 and Cambridge primary learning through its British curriculum pathway. Its approach combines core academic subjects with creativity, collaboration, digital literacy and practical learning. The Cambridge pathway includes subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Digital Literacy, Global Perspectives, Art, Music and Physical Education, with the precise subject offering depending on the stage. The school also highlights small classes and personalised support as part of its learning approach. Parents can ask about class placement, assessment methods, learning resources and opportunities for learners to participate in clubs and other activities.

For families seeking continuity beyond primary school, Zuri Schools offers CBC Junior Secondary education for Grades 7–9. Its Cambridge pathway includes learning through Key Stage 3. The school describes its junior secondary programme as focusing on academic development, independent thinking, leadership, digital skills and responsible decision-making. Learners also have opportunities to participate in activities that develop communication, teamwork and other personal skills. Parents should confirm the current grade offerings, subject combinations, admission requirements and progression options for their child's intended educational pathway.

Zuri Schools offers boarding arrangements for learners, with options designed to accommodate different family schedules and residential needs. The school's dedicated boarding information describes weekly boarding from Monday to Friday, monthly boarding, full-term boarding and occasional overnight stays. Its published boarding page gives an age range of 8–15 years, although another part of the website describes the range as 10–15. Parents should confirm the current age eligibility and available places directly with the school. The boarding programme includes supervised residential care, study periods, meals, laundry facilities and shared recreational spaces. The school also describes separate residential areas for boys and girls, security arrangements and pastoral support. Families considering boarding can enquire about accommodation, supervision, daily routines, meals, medical support, visiting arrangements and the costs associated with each option.

Learning extends beyond classroom lessons, and Zuri Schools offers activities intended to encourage physical development, creativity, teamwork and confidence. The school's advertised co-curricular activities include chess, football, karate, music, dance, drama, fine arts, coding, digital skills and skating. These activities give learners opportunities to explore interests, develop new skills and participate in school and inter-school events. Parents can enquire about the activities available at their child's campus and grade level, as well as any equipment or additional charges that may apply.

Zuri Schools provides an admissions process that begins with an application and the submission of a recent school report or assessment record. The school then arranges an individual assessment with the relevant class or grade teacher before completing enrolment for successful applicants. Published admission requirements include a birth certificate, the most recent assessment report, a transfer letter where applicable, a completed admission form and relevant medical or allergy information. Parents should confirm the current requirements with the admissions team. The school also emphasises communication with parents, personalised learner support and guidance during the admission process. Families can arrange an enquiry or campus visit to discuss curriculum options, fees, available places and boarding arrangements before making a decision.
