Details: About Light International School
Light International School (LIS) is a unique co-educational day and boarding school that offers the
Cambridge International Curriculum from Kindergarten (Aged 3-5) through to A- level (from Year 1

in the highly successful and popular Light Academy schools located in different cities across Kenya
and is dedicated to the international curriculum. At LIS we go beyond producing academically

At the Light International School (LIS):
 We aim to develop a love of learning, which will remain with the individual long after the
process of formal education has finished.
 We will provide a balanced and broad curriculum, which will include all students of different
abilities and needs.
 We offer a range of extracurricular activities and trips to broaden the experience of school for
our students and to enrich their learning of academic and social skills.
 We will encourage cross-curricular learning, supported by advancements in technology
wherever possible to enhance the learning of our students.
 We will provide our students with a stimulating and caring environment to learn within, where
the development of the whole child is a priority. We also encourage our pupils to develop as
independent learners who can make positive choices for their own learning and development.
 We fully encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s education and development.
 We aim to reward achievement of all members of our school community for their successes.
Our students are members of their local community and of our host country, Kenya. We recognize
our students come from a multitude of cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds. We, therefore,
seek to provide a secular education that reflects and draws from this diversity by embracing the
ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship.
