In May 2012, Focus Academy introduced computer lessons for students from Class 1 to Class 6, recently enhancing the curriculum to include digital literacy. The children acquire essential computer skills such as operating a touchpad and mouse, typing on a keyboard, using core software and apps, performing basic computer maintenance, practicing safe internet use, and learning beginner coding with Scratch.
These foundational skills foster good study habits, effective communication, and technological proficiency, benefiting them throughout their lives.
Nearly everyone enjoys music, whether by listening to it, singing, or playing an instrument. Musical training also has a number of benefits to the young mind. These include:
Musical training develops the areas of the brain related to language and reasoning. An enjoyable activity like music keeps students interested and engaged in school. Performing in a musical band requires teamwork. Because of this, participants learn the value of teamwork and how to work together. Performing music with the encouragement of teachers, parents and fellow students builds self confidence.
During their French lessons, children at Focus Academy learn greetings and politeness, numbers and counting, colors and shapes, family members, animals and nature, basic food and drinks, simple phrases and questions, as well as songs and rhymes. These foundational language skills provide them with an early learning advantage, enabling them to acquire French fluently and with a native-like accent.
Scouting is a transformative experience that encourages self-discovery, curiosity, and personal growth. It extends learning beyond the classroom, enabling young Scouts to develop a well-rounded skill set through teamwork, outdoor adventures, and education, all while having fun. Scouts gain confidence, self-esteem, essential life and leadership skills, and learn to make responsible choices, preparing them for adulthood. In our school, students aged 6-11 participate as Sungura (Cubs) Scouts, symbolized by a yellow scarf with the Kenyan Scout Association's logo.
This stage imparts fundamental Scouting principles, fostering brotherhood, respect for God, and patriotism. Aspiring Sungura Scouts undergo pre-investiture training, including learning the Scout Law, Promise, Motto, Salute & Sign, and Kenyan Scouting history.
Wildlife clubs in Kenya aim to educate and engage youth and communities in wildlife conservation and environmental awareness. They emphasize the value of natural resources and the importance of conservation for present and future generations. To achieve their objectives, these clubs conduct educational programs, hands-on field activities, park visits, and tree planting initiatives.
They also organize competitions to foster interest and knowledge in conservation. Overall, wildlife clubs play a vital role in nurturing a sense of responsibility and connection to Kenya's diverse ecosystems and wildlife among its youth and communities.
Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. Pupils learn to write and convey their thoughts, ideas, and impressions.
They can learn the value of solid research and the dangers of misinformation and slander.
Focus Academy offers an education centered on character and values, aligning with the Kenyan Education Curriculum. As a Round Square school, we actively foster experiential learning for our students, providing them with local, regional, and international opportunities and excursions. Within the Focus Academy community, we strongly encourage student leadership, preparing our graduates to flourish with humility and a deep sense of social responsibility.
