Who We Are
Holmeside School
Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya is a leading multi-cultural day and boarding special needs education school. We educate children with developmental and specific learning disabilities. We handle developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mild cerebral palsy and mild down syndrome. Likewise, we adequately support children with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia (reading disability), dyscalculia (arithmetic disability), dysgraphia (handwriting disability) among others.
Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya offers an adapted version of the International British Curriculum starting from Kindergarten to High School level. Our approach to teaching is built upon the understanding that each child learns differently and this resonates with our values and beliefs that each child’s potential is unique. Thus, we develop a holistic individualized education plan (IEP) to enhance each child’s cognitive, social, behavioral, academic and vocational skills.
We strive to build trust and cultivate formidable relationships with each learner because as Dr. Nicole Beurkens illustrates in her child behavior plan workshops, Adult- Child relationships are literary the foundation of all cognitive, communication, social, emotional and behavior development. Therefore, Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya always strive to provide an enabling and therapeutic learning environment to each learner since it is our job to nurture their unique potential and develop any budding talents.
