Primary School

Whether you are transitioning from our Primary School or joining us for the first time, you will feel very much a part of our close knit Cornerstone Academy’ Junior Secondary School family in no time.

Head of Curriculum Introduction

As the Primary School Head of curriculum, I am always excited and happy to work with the children and watch them achieve the targets set for them. Our mission is to offer them a firm foundation based on Christ that will enable them to face junior secondary school with confidence. It is here that children discover and grow their talents, in and out of class. From the exceptional artists to the roaring musicians to the dashing athletes to the nerdy quiz wizards, we not only offer the necessary conducive environment for talent to be explored, but also sharpen talent to the levels of each individual.

We are tireless in our commitment to developing students who are academic standouts and active community servants. You have many options of schools to educate your children in the Zimmerman area, and we believe that you have made the right choice. We thank you for entrusting your scholars into our care and service.

The one constant about education is that it’s dynamic. At Cornerstone Academy we are always continually seeking opportunities to help prepare our children for the future. As we embrace the changes.

Mr. Benson Kanyua, Head of Curriculum

Our Curriculum allows our children to explore, imagine, problem-solve, and create. Children work in small groups and participate in active, engaging learning activities. Our focus is to teach children how to think not what to think. You will find girls building block structures, painting, singing, participating in dramatic play as well as working on different activities that develop motor skills, and strength for writing, art, music etc. Each term, the pupils are assessed to measure their progress and identify strengths and areas in need of additional attention. We strive to go an extra mile for all learners, regularly providing intervention where required.
