Why families choose us

Every child known, valued, and supported

Bees Circle Academy is a boutique, co-educational kindergarten and primary school in Kiambu, offering a holistic education for children aged 12 months to 13 years. With intentionally small classes of under 20 learners in kindergarten and under 25 in primary, highly qualified teachers, and a rich blend of academics, creativity, and co-curricular experiences, every child flourishes academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. As a Christian school, our character is rooted in biblical values — teaching children how to live, not just how to make a living.

Three stages, one journey

From first steps to senior-school ready

Inside each stage are its own levels, each with its own teachers, rhythm, and goals for the year. Children move up through them as they are ready.

My son has attended Bees Circle for two years now. He absolutely loves the school and the staff. His teachers are a great encouragement and the academic program is great. I've never worried about my son while he's under their care and guidance.

This school is amazing and has really positively impacted my little one. The teachers and administrators are just the best. In just two months my kid has learnt a lot — you can tell even from her vocabulary.
