Our daily activities are rooted in strong values such as confidence, humility, accuracy, passion, integrity and excellence.

Karis School is a nurturing community. Whenever they are in the midst of their peers, our children, both present and past, always stand out. Karis children are encouraged to find their own strengths and talents and in turn, we train them to develop those strengths and talents. Learning in Karis School is active. There is a one-on-one contact with each child in the classroom. Our pupils are motivated and encouraged to know that success lies in each of them and comes as result of their own participation.

Our teachers are well trained, highly motivated personnel who are passionate about what they do and they are well equipped with modern teaching techniques. They don’t just teach the curriculum and skills. They teach values and qualities that our nation and of course the world needs. These values and qualities will set our pupils apart in the future as they become leaders in their various disciplines.

When it comes to modern technological equipment and learning processes, we rank very high. Our facilities which are well applied by our expert team makes Karis what it is and consequently, it is what makes us stand out among other schools. For the best education for your child, Karis is the right place to be. I look forward to welcoming you to Karis School soon!

Grade school
Through our Primary School, we introduce children to the excitement and challenges of independent learning. We do this by utilizing and stimulating all the nine intelligences. Every concept is taught using audio-visual aids to make learning more exciting. From First Grade, children are still ‘learning to read’, but from Third Grade onwards, they start ‘reading to learn’. As they understand ideas, ask questions and work out answers independently, children improve skills like reading, writing, researching, reasoning and communicating. In the process, they develop both strong academic skills and a lasting self-confidence.
