About Umoja Catholic Primary

🕊️ Umoja Catholic School: Nurturing Love, Leadership, and Potential 🇰🇪
Umoja Catholic School is a dedicated Christian private institution offering education from Nursery through Primary School. Located on the compound of the Umoja Catholic Church in Nairobi’s Eastlands area, the school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community founded on Christian backing and the Catholic vision of education. Our foundational goal, starting from the Nursery section, is nurturing kids to reach their full potential with love and leadership.

Curriculum Approach and Holistic Development
The school provides a comprehensive educational framework that balances academic rigour with critical character formation.

CBC and Foundational Learning: Umoja Catholic School is fully committed to implementing the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) framework across its Early Years and Primary levels. The curriculum is designed to be holistic, focusing on the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and behaviour (competencies), rather than just content memorization.

Focus Areas: Our learning environment actively cultivates essential skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-efficacy.

Holistic Growth: Following the Catholic educational philosophy, we strive to inform, form, and transform not just minds, but hearts. We integrate the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of development to produce well-rounded individuals.

Early Development Specialization: Our long-standing history of commitment to early childhood, including hosting the Montessori Teacher Training College (Child Developers Programme), means our approach to Nursery and Primary education is deeply informed and nurturing.

Values and Distinctive Christian Ethos
Our unique standing under the Umoja Catholic Church ensures a stable, morally-grounded, and loving environment for all students.

Christian Leadership: We teach love and leadership based on strong Christian principles and Gospel values. Students are encouraged to develop integrity, respect, service, and social responsibility.

Community and Unity: The name “Umoja,” meaning “unity” or “togetherness” in Swahili, reflects our commitment to promoting positive relationships and a supportive school culture rooted in common human dignity.

Nurturing Environment: We prioritize creating a safe and caring community where every child feels valued, allowing them the confidence to pursue academic and personal excellence.

Umoja Catholic School offers a values-driven, high-quality primary education in the Nairobi area, ensuring children receive the proper foundation for future success.
