Where minds flourish in faith
A Christ-centred school off Kakamega-Webuye Road, Western Kenya — where academic rigour, character formation and faith walk hand in hand from Inception through Grade 9.
Each phase has its own dedicated staff, spaces, and spirit.
Play-based discovery rooted in warmth and wonder. Every morning begins with song, story, and safe exploration of God's magnificent creation.
Curiosity meets structure. Strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, the arts, and Christian character — all within small, relationship-rich classes.
Subject specialists, a leadership programme, and a faith framework to navigate adolescence with confidence, conviction, and purpose.
We don't just educate minds — we cultivate hearts. Serving families across Kakamega and Western Kenya, our small class sizes, qualified staff, and Christ-centred ethos create a learning environment that is genuinely rare in our region.
Our Story & Vision →Faith is woven into every lesson — not just on Fridays.
Every child receives the individual attention they deserve.
All teachers hold professional qualifications and genuine faith.
A well-resourced, safe environment designed for flourishing.
"Applegate transformed our daughter. She comes home excited every single day — that is worth everything."
"The teachers genuinely know our son — his strengths, his struggles, his sense of humour. That kind of relationship is rare."
"The faith here is authentic, not performative. Our family's values are reflected daily. We are truly grateful."
Applications for 2026 are open. Spaces fill quickly.
From first steps to graduation — excellence at every stage.
Our Early Years programme welcomes children from age two, beginning with Inception (ages 2–3), then Pre-Primary 1 (age 4) and Pre-Primary 2 (age 5), and is built on the understanding that the early years are the most formative. A warm, stimulating environment where children discover the joy of learning through play, creativity, and love.
Subject-passionate teachers guide learners through a rich CBC-aligned curriculum that balances academic rigour with creative arts, sport, and faith development. Foundations laid here last a lifetime.
Dedicated subject specialists, an enriched leadership programme, and a Biblical worldview framework equip Grade 7–9 students with the academic depth and moral courage needed for high school and beyond.
