Shalom is situated at Mbita . The school was started as a community school to cater for the needy children from this remote village who at a tender age, cannot walk long distances to reach other schools within the locality. The School is committed to conduct elementary co-education curriculun, serving students in Early Childhood Development and primary level (from Age 3 ). As we embrace high academic and ethical standards for each student, we are guided by our school motto, “let there be joy in learning.” Thus brings a bigger picture of what our school is “..Pride in Excellence”

Our school program balances the modern and the innovative, emphasizing excellence in academics and a thorough exposure to the arts, environment and physical education. We teach children to think creatively, read critically and reason logically, stressing the value of both individual learning and collaboration. We are committed to diversity, teaching students to be inclusive and to respect themselves and others.

We wish to see students leave Shalom School as well-rounded, articulate, resilient and morally responsible individuals. They are prepared to meet the challenges of a demanding secondary education and continue on the path of lifelong learning.

Educational Philosophy

We believe that the process of learning is as important as the result. The School builds on children’s natural curiosity and creativity, helping them discover and celebrate their strengths and talents. In our nurturing and supportive environment, we challenge each student to take risks and persevere. The program enables students to experience success, increase self-confidence and develop individuality. Staff and guardians collaborate in support of each child’s growth.

The School’s students develop social awareness through age-appropriate service within the school and the community at large. Students exercise responsibility and assume leadership roles as they learn to become involved citizens of the world.

Self, Others and Surroundings: Taking Care of Neighbourhood (S.O.S)

We believe that moral development and awareness are critical components for our students’ success. Self-Others-Surroundings (S.O.S.) is our mission-based ethical code infused in everyday life at Shalom School
