Learning at Braeburn
Braeburn Garden Estate offers a syllabus based on the English National Curriculum. While this is the basis for what we teach – with significant emphasis on developing core skills – all our students are given opportunities to learn from their context here in East Africa.
Many of the learning experiences are based on ‘real’, meaningful interactions, from group-based investigations to outdoor learning and from whole-school-themed days (eg, Space Day) to individual tasks differentiated for the child’s needs.
