Amana Elementary School

Amana Elementary School is a Kenya national curriculum school. Committed to inspiring each and every child to achieve personal excellence and to grow to become a valuable member of the global community in which we live.We cater for children in their formative years. From Grade one (6 Years to Grade 6 (12Years). By stimulating each child’s abilities and talents within an atmosphere of mutual respect, we aim to ensure a love of learning is a life-long quest.

…beginning the foundation of education!

as children grow, we use age appropriate tools to achieve the ultimate goal of inspiring each child to achieve personal excellence and add value to the global community.

A creative and stimulating play-based learning environment in a caring, family- style atmosphere, we foster and nurture a lifelong love of learning and sense of curiosity that lays strong foundations.

Recognizing the uniqueness of each child, we place an emphasis on the development of the whole child and provide pupils of every level with an individualized approach to learning as they develop.

We thrive at providing a diverse and stimulating environment, we motivate and guide each pupil to identify their strengths, achieve their individual academic potential and grow into emotionally intelligent independent thinkers.

EMPOWERING INDEPENDENT Thinking…

At Amana Elementary School, we believe that if every child enjoys they will carry this attitude for the rest of their lives. As such the opportunity to expand horizons on an independent basis are encouraged from the early days of creative interaction. Time is set aside for digital interaction in our ICT labs, individualized study in the library.

Our personalized approach to learning guided by our values that our teachers match, stretches the individual students at every level to achieve their best, as we are keenly aware that academic qualifications contribute to diverse career opportunities.  We recognize and affirm that achievement of a well-balanced pupil is a balance between Amana Elementary school, our parents, the pupils and every staff member working in close collaboration to achieve exemplary results.

CURIOSITY

Research suggests that intellectual curiosity has as big an effect on performance as hard work.  Our students are preparing for jobs that did not exist when they started their schooling career.  As such we believe it is crucial that we help them develop a passion for learning, underpinned by a curious and inquisitive spirit that enables them to explore and utilise every opportunity to its fullest. Curiosity to investigate a subject in greater depth or to try out an entirely new skill is encouraged at every stage through our diverse subjects and vibrant extracurricular programme.  Through building confidence and encouraging a questioning mind, we give students the freedom to explore whether that may be to investigate what lives under a leaf in HEY or to open new doors to as yet unknown career paths for older students.

COMMUNITY

Whilst attaining personal excellence and achieving our best academically is important to us, is to nurture confident, well adjusted, socially responsible young citizens who have respect for, and make the most of, the rich environment they have the privilege to live.   

Pupils will participate in various trips and excursions to enhance their educational experience and complement the curriculum in Geography and Science. These provide exposure to the region. Students also go on trips as a result of clubs, activities and competitions that they participate in, as well as additional trips that are offered. Students at Amana are encouraged to get involved with our wider community to enhance their learning experience, develop compassion and empathy for those less fortunate and to contribute towards the growth and development of the community.

Recognizing that every child is inherently unique with their own individual talents and strengths and learning styles, we believe that learning is a journey of exploration and discovery. Our educational framework provides a wide variety of learning activities. In and out of the classroom — to ensure that all learning styles and diverse interests are supported and that students are stimulated and challenged. Our small class size also enables teachers to give pupils individualized attention. The individualized approach to each child’s development encourages enthusiasm for learning with freedom and confidence to think differently and to aim high.

Acknowledging that learning does not solely happen within the confines of the classroom and students are challenged further in diverse fields. We provide a wide range of opportunities to broaden the mind, body and spirit enabling our pupils to develop into successful individuals.

DETERMINATION

Cultural diversity at Amana Elementary School is built on a philosophy of inclusion, where every child belongs.  Every opportunity is utilized to develop attitudes of cooperation, citizenship, sportsmanship and teamwork — building mutual respect for each other. Experiential learning encourages our students to develop resilience, independence and teamwork. Giving life to lessons from the classroom, provides a richer contextual reference. Amana students are encouraged to develop an understanding for the world around them, building skills such as interpersonal communication, cooperation and an understanding for different environments and cultures.
