- We will provide a balanced and broad curriculum, which will include all students of different abilities and needs.
- We offer a range of extracurricular activities and trips to broaden the experience of school for our students and to enrich their learning of academic and social skills.
- We will encourage cross–curricular learning, supported by advancements in technology wherever possible to enhance the learning of our students.
- We will provide our students with a stimulating and caring environment to learn within, where the development of the whole child is a priority. We also encourage our pupils to develop as independent learners who can make positive choices for their own learning and development.
- We fully encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s education and development.
- We aim to reward achievement of all members of our school community for their successes.
Our students are members of their local community and of our host country, Kenya. We recognise our students come from a multitude of cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds. We therefore seek to provide a secular education that reflects and draws from this diversity by embracing the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship.

The Light International School believes that its guiding statements are consistent with the spirit of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) consistent with the Council of International Schools’ (CIS) accreditation, and the school operates within this spirit. We hope that all members of our community will support this, in principle and actions.
