STUDENT LIFE
After-School Care & Enrichment
A school day ends at 3:30. A working day does not. From our founding year, we cover the gap.

What actually happens between 3:30 and 5:30
Not a holding pen with a television. A sequence, staffed by the same teachers who taught the day.
- 3:30 PM
Snack, and outside
Nobody does homework straight after a school day. The first half hour is food and the field — it is the difference between a productive hour and a fought one.
- 4:00 PM
Supervised homework
A quiet room, a teacher in it, and the day's work done before it goes home. For most families this is the entire point: the evening stops being about arguing over an exercise book.
- 4:45 PM
Reading circle or elective
Reading aloud in a small group, or a workshop — chess, coding, an instrument. Chosen by the child, not assigned.
- 5:30 PM
Collection
Homework finished, energy spent, handed over at the gate.
Two hours here beats two hours in traffic
A 3:30 finish in Nairobi means either leaving work early or paying someone else to do the collection. Neither is good for the child, and both are expensive.
Staying on site until 5:30 puts those hours on open grounds with the people who already know your child, and sends them home with the homework done.
