Academics

Safari Brooks Academy is an independent school in Thome 5, Nairobi County, that provides high-quality education for learners from Play Group to Grade 6 in Competence-Based Curriculum -(C.B.C) and standard 7 to standard 8 in 8-4-4 system. Our limited class sizes and enhanced curriculum empower learners with 21st-century skills and knowledge to grow into high-performing, self-confident individuals and to reach their personal, educational and eventual workplace goals. As a Safari Brooks Academy, we aim to provide the most affordable school fees possible without compromising our academic standards. 

Foundation phase: Play Group to  Grade 3

Our foundation phase starts by providing the emotional and intellectual foundation required to handle the formal learning that starts in Pre-Primary 1. Through our enhanced curriculum provided in limited class sizes, we then gradually develop learners’ 21st-century skills and knowledge in basic areas such as language (comprehension, speaking, and listening), mathematics (counting and understanding numbers), and creative problem-solving in an environment where they enjoy coming to school.

Intermediate phase: Grade 4 to Grade 6

In these grades, learners are taught to work with the learned material in an abstract manner. The nature of the content gradually builds from being tangible and real, to more intellectual and abstract. Our limited class sizes and enhanced curriculum provides learners with an inherent dedication to hard work and excellence as well as 21st-century skills to prepare them for the workplace of the future. Learners further benefit from having French as a extra language, as well as advanced subjects such as Creative Arts and Computer Literacy – all included in our affordable school fees. 

At Safari Brooks Academy school, we believe that participation in activities plays an important role in promoting health, discipline, self-confidence and community. Therefore, our focused activities are designed to help learners discover their inherent talents, or to broaden their exposure beyond their current reference framework. These activities are generally included in our affordable school fees. Some of our activities are aimed at boosting learners’ cognitive abilities, while others provide pure enjoyment. 

Extramural activities are offered by external tutors or coaches. They are offered at an additional cost and generally take place on the school’s premises. Some extramural activities are aimed at improving or supporting academic learning or mental and physical development, while others are purely recreational.

At Safari Brooks Academy Pretoria, we believe that outreach programmes are important not only to benefit the community, but also to develop appreciation and empathy in our learners. Therefore, we host various ad hoc outreach programmes during the year and learners are actively involved in all areas of the project.
