Learning at Braeburn
Braeburn Kisumu is less than two kilometres from Kisumu city in the lush Milimani suburb adjacent to Lake Victoria. Our school provides a warm, supportive environment integrating information and communication technology into teaching and learning, preparing our students to successfully navigate life beyond the school gates.
Whilst our teaching is rooted in the UK National Curriculum, it is enriched with learning opportunities inspired by our East African context. This blend helps our students develop both a global perspective and a strong sense of connection to their local environment.
Parent participation enhances children’s learning and helps develop a friendly community atmosphere. We aim to develop the whole child and encourage students to discover and nurture their talents.

Curricula
Early Years
Children in the Early Years, aged 2 to 5 years, have a dedicated learning area in cosy classrooms, with plenty of toys and a discovery play area to develop their creative skills.
The garden provides a safe space for supervised play, where children can develop their physical skills and confidence. Our resident rabbit and tortoise offer opportunities to learn about caring for animals, as well as learning about empathy and responsibility. Snack and lunch times are held outdoors, helping the children develop their social mealtime skills in a relaxed and natural setting.

In Primary School, we build on the skills children develop whilst in the Early Years. During this phase, the pupils continue to learn through discovery and child-led learning activities. Our highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers ensure learning is exciting, engaging, and relevant.
An all-inclusive teaching approach allows children full access to the curriculum. We emphasise the core basic English, Mathematics, and Science skills woven into our topical subjects, History and Geography.

Our Secondary School educates students aged 11-16 years. In Years 7-9 (Key Stage 3) the pupils continue to build on the Primary framework with specialised teachers ensuring they develop the skills needed to succeed at Key Stage 4 and beyond.
During the second term of Year 9, pupils are supported and guided in selecting the subjects they will study in Years 10 and 11, culminating in the internationally recognised IGCSE examinations. Thereafter, students can progress to a school within the Braeburn Group to continue with their Sixth Form (Years 12-13) studies.
