Monark School Athi River

Monark School Athi River A school. A community. A second home. 🏡

At Monark School, every child is known by name, believed in, and prepared for life, not just for exams.

We deliver Kenya's CBE curriculum from Pre-Primary through to Grade 9, with both day and boarding options.

We asked our teachers to share the most memorable things they have heard from learners this term. 😭🤠😁

No context. No edits. Just children being completely, wonderfully, unapologetically honest.

The child who wants to know why we are learning things we can search online is asking one of the most important questions in education right now. The one whose brain is full just needs a break/time-out. And the one whose mouth opened by itself; that child is going to be a lawyer. 👀🧑‍🎓

But here is the thing >> every single one of these tells us something. The pushback, the questions, the creative explanations. That is a child showing us exactly how they think. And when a child is comfortable and free to show you how they think, you can teach them well.

That is what great teaching looks like. Meeting every child where they are, even when their mouth opened by itself. 🥳

Come and explore with us. ✨

Before school.
Before friends.
Before you knew your name.

There was her.

The woman who taught you to speak before you knew what language was. Who showed you how to be kind before you knew the word. Who stayed up when you were sick, cheered loudest at every milestone, and believed in you on the days you didn't believe in yourself.

To every mother, grandmother, aunt, and woman who has ever loved a child like their own — Happy Mother's Day. 🌸

We see you. We honour you. And we are grateful every single day for the work you do before we even begin.

Happy World Athletics Day!

We believe that movement isn’t a break from learning—it is learning. Monark School ensures your child doesn't just sit and study. They run, play, and build confidence that goes far beyond the classroom.

We don’t just build students. We build athletes, team players, and resilient kids. 🏃🏽✨

Here is something most parents know well.

Your child goes to school in morning. You go to work. And for the next eight hours, you wonder ; are they okay? Did they understand today's lesson? Was the homework written down? Did something happen that you should know about?

For most parents, those answers come once a term; on report day. Or for the lucky ones, their child is chatty and narrates the entire day and learnings...

At Monark School, we decided that is not good enough.

This week, our learners return for Term 2 2026. Boarders reported back on Monday. Day scholars and learning resumed today, Tuesday 28th April. And this term, we are doing something that changes the relationship between school and home entirely.

This term, we have are live on SmartShule, our official digital parent platform. Every Monark parent will now see their child's school diary updated daily, homework posted the moment it is set, assessment results as they are recorded, and have a direct line to their child's teachers, not just during the end-of-term review, but any school day.

We value the partnership with parents, and are always adapting to strategies to excel.

If you have a child of school age in Athi River, or know someone who does, Term 2 admissions are now open. Come and see what we are building here.

Here is a question that has been sitting with us lately...

When your child comes home from school, what do you actually ask them?

"Did you eat?" ✅
"Do you have homework?" ✅
"What did you learn today?" ✅

All valid. All necessary.

But CBE curriculum is asking us, as parents, teachers, and as a society to go one level deeper. Not just what did your child score, but what is your child becoming?

Can they solve a problem you did not give them the answer to?
Do they stand up for what is right when no one is watching?
When they are bored during the holidays, do they create something, or do they just wait to be entertained? are they permanently "glued" to the TV/devices?

These are not school questions. They are life questions. And the honest truth is, no teacher can answer them alone.

The graphic below has the 7 core competencies that every child, from Pre-Primary through to Grade 9, is expected to develop. Pick one. Reflect on it and try discuss it with your child....

We would love to know your thoughts on them and how you are reinforcing this life skills during the holiday period. drop it in the comments. 👇

We have been quiet on Facebook for a while, but behind our gates, Monark School has been consistently delivering, quietly perfecting, and never once standing still >>> day school and boarding, every term, without exception.

Since 2014, we have welcomed hundreds of families, transitioned fully to Kenya's CBE curriculum, celebrated our first ever KJSEA cohort and become, for many children in Athi River and beyond, a true second home with full boarding facilities for learners who need that extra support, structure, and care.

We have a lot to share here...
Follow our page, Term 2 resumes on Tuesday 29th April 2026.
