Lizar School: Nurturing Leaders for a Brighter Future

A Holistic Approach to Education: Building Well-Rounded Individuals

We believe in the power of a holistic education that caters to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of every child. We go beyond academics, fostering the development of future leaders equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to navigate the world with confidence.

Embracing the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)

Lizar School is a proud advocate of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) implemented in Kenya. This innovative curriculum emphasizes a learner-centered approach, measuring academic performance over time and focusing on the development of critical skills.

A Clear Assessment System: Empowering Learning Growth

Our assessment system aligns with the CBC framework, utilizing two primary methods:

  • Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA): This standardized test, administered in Grade 6, contributes 40% to the final grade.
  • School-Based Assessments (SBAs): These ongoing assessments account for 60% of the final grade and provide a comprehensive picture of each student’s progress. 

SBAs utilize “Expectation Levels” to quantify student performance:

  • Exceeding Expectations (EE): Demonstrates a strong understanding and consistently completes tasks to a high standard.
  • Meeting Expectations (ME): Follows instructions effectively and completes most activities successfully.
  • Approaching Expectations (AE): Shows some understanding and attempts tasks, but may need additional support.
  • Below Expectations (BE): Requires significant support and struggles to understand or complete tasks.

A Proven Track Record of Academic Excellence

Lizar School boasts a strong history of academic achievement at both the Preparatory and Senior High School levels. Our students consistently compete favorably with their peers in both the national and international curriculum frameworks. This success is a testament to our commitment to providing a holistic education that empowers every student to reach their full potential.

Building Character Alongside Knowledge

Lizar School's curriculum is built on the foundation of two key pillars: Performance Character and Moral Character. Performance Character embodies the qualities needed for excellence – diligence, perseverance, and a positive attitude. Moral Character cultivates qualities essential for ethical conduct – integrity, respect, and compassion. By nurturing both aspects, Lizar School prepares students to become confident, well-rounded leaders ready to make a positive impact on the world.
