Education is light for life

Our pupils enjoy a variety of fun games during breaks, physical education lessons, and special activity days. These games help children develop important life skills like cooperation, problem-solving, and confidence — all while having fun!

Some of the games our learners love include:

• Skipping rope

• Hide and seek

• Tag and relay races

• Traditional Maasai games

• Ball games and hand clapping games

• Sack races and tug of war (especially on fun days)

Fun and play are an important part of growing up — and at Mara Kileleoni, every child gets the chance to laugh, move, and enjoy childhood.

Our learners are guided by a team of qualified, passionate, and caring teachers who are committed to giving every child the best foundation in life. Each teacher brings not only professional skills but also deep understanding of the local community and the unique needs of our pupils.

Despite limited resources, our teachers go the extra mile — using creativity, patience, and dedication to make learning engaging and meaningful. They encourage curiosity, support individual growth, and create a classroom environment where every child feels seen and valued.

At Mara Kileleoni, we believe great teachers don’t just teach — they inspire, nurture, and lead with heart.

At Mara Kileleoni School, we believe every child deserves a chance to learn — no matter their background.

Active play is an important part of everyday life at Mara Kileleoni. During breaks and physical education sessions, children enjoy the chance to run, jump, and explore through fun games and group activities.

Through playing football, skipping rope, traditional games, and team challenges, learners build strong bodies, develop coordination, and learn valuable social skills like teamwork and fair play. Our spacious outdoor environment allows pupils to move freely, laugh loudly, and enjoy the joys of childhood.

We believe that when children play actively, they stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn.

We follow the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which focuses on developing practical skills, creativity, critical thinking, and communication. Our classrooms are active learning spaces where pupils are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, and learn by doing.

Key learning areas include:

• Literacy and Language (Englishand Kiswahili)

• Mathematics

• Environmental Studies

• Religious and Moral Education

• Creative Arts and Music

• Science and Technology (for upper classes)

• Life Skills and Health Education

Our dedicated teachers use simple teaching aids, storytelling, songs, and group work to make learning engaging and effective — even with limited resources.

We also encourage learning outside the classroom through nature walks, cultural activities, and hands-on projects that connect students with their environment and community.

Every child at Mara Kileleoni is given the opportunity to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially — one lesson at a time.

we understand the power of language in education and in life. Our language program helps learners become confident in reading, writing, and speaking in multiple languages.

We focus on three key languages:

• 🇰🇪 Kiswahili – As Kenya’s national language, Kiswahili helps our students communicate across communities and understand their country better.

• 🇬🇧 English – As the language of instruction, English is essential for academic success and future opportunities.

Many of our pupils come from homes where regular meals are not guaranteed. To help them stay healthy, focused, and active in class, we run a simple but life-changing feeding program.

Each school day, we provide:

• Morning porridge to give children energy and help them concentrate.

• A basic lunch, often consisting of maize and beans or other available local meals.

This daily meal helps reduce absenteeism, improves classroom performance, and gives every child the strength to enjoy both learning and play.

Though resources are limited, we do our best to ensure no child goes hungry. Our program is supported through community effort and well-wishers who contribute food, cooking supplies, or even time.

A full stomach brings hope, health, and a chance for a brighter future.

 Being located in the heart of the Maasai Mara gives our learners a special opportunity — to learn not just from books, but directly from the world around them.

We organize simple excursions and nature walks where children can observe the rich wildlife, explore the natural environment, and learn the importance of conservation. Seeing animals like elephants, lions, zebras, and giraffes in their natural habitat helps learners appreciate the beauty of nature and the need to protect it.

We also teach our pupils to value and understand their Maasai culture, including traditional songs, stories, dress, and customs. These lessons strengthen their identity and help them take pride in their heritage.

By combining classroom lessons with real-life experiences in the Mara, we give our children an education that is both deep and meaningful.

At Mara Kileleoni School, music is more than just a subject — it's a joyful expression of culture, creativity, and identity.

Our music program introduces learners to the beauty of rhythm, song, and traditional Maasai instruments. Through singing, drumming, dancing, and storytelling, children gain confidence, develop teamwork, and connect with their heritage.

Though we have limited resources, our students show great passion and talent. We incorporate both modern and traditional music styles, helping learners appreciate their roots while exploring new sounds.

We welcome any support in the form of instruments, training, or partnerships to help us grow this vital part of our school life.

Music lifts our spirits, builds unity, and gives our children a voice.
