About Us
About Us
Bicham School is a private Christian-based institution situated in Ngong Town, Kajiado North, Kenya. Our educational programme runs from pre-primary up to sixth grade, including Junior Secondary (grades 7–9). The school mainly relies on student tuition fees, levies, and additional private funding
We offer a competency-based education (CBE) curriculum. At Bicham School, we ignite each learner’s unique potential through a research-backed, holistic approach that promotes academic excellence, character development, and lifelong curiosity. Our integrated curriculum skillfully balances core literacy and numeracy with vibrant arts, innovative technology, and practical life skills.
Through dynamic, project-based learning—such as creating community gardens or solving real-world problems—learners develop critical thinking and teamwork skills. At the same time, teachers tailor instruction to accommodate diverse learning styles (visual, auditory). Regular assessments provide personalised support—ranging from reading clinics to advanced mathematics enrichment—empowering every child to succeed
Character and leadership are fundamental to Bicham School’s identity. We deliberately nurture “confidence, courage, and independence” from a young age, fostering resilience and empathy through team sports, peer mentoring, and conflict-resolution workshops. Daily leadership opportunities, such as leading assemblies, serving on learners’ councils, or guiding classroom projects, develop essential skills: public speaking, initiative, and teamwork. Our learners don’t just learn; they lead, motivated by values demonstrated in every interaction
In our inclusive, psychologically safe environment, mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth, and diversity is truly valued. Strong partnerships with parents and local organisations—such as libraries, museums, and STEM professionals—expand learning beyond our classrooms. Meanwhile, soccer, ballet, music, chess, scouts, debate, and arts clubs help students discover their hidden talents. At Bicham school, education is a shared journey where every child feels they belong, every voice is heard, and every potential can be realised.
Join us to experience education that combines academic rigour with social-emotional wisdom—proven to boost long-term success
At present, we have 227 learners. We anticipate enrolling more learners across all grades (Playgroup to grade 7) next year.
Bicham classes gather children in multi-age groups. Usually, this lasts for several years. Teachers build close relationships with their learners, and a community of learners easily forms, with older learners mentoring the younger ones. Teachers become familiar with their learners’ learning styles, making it easier to recognise them at the start of a new school year.
Bicham emphasises practical, hands-on learning resources. The focus isn’t on memorisation but on helping learners understand and become enthusiastic about what they learn. Learners develop self-discipline, a well-rounded upbringing, and strong internal motivation, becoming lifelong learners. They work together in group activities and co-curricular programmes, striving for personal excellence rather than competing with others. The environment is supportive and engaging, promoting effective learning for children
The private sector significantly contributes to basic education in Kenya. In 2019, private school enrollment accounted for 30% at the pre-primary level and 16% at the primary level. The 2019 basic education statistical booklet classifies schools as either private or public, without differentiating among various types of non-state providers. That year, there were 18,147 private pre-primary schools out of 46,530 schools nationwide. For primary education, 9,058 private schools were registered from a total of 32,344 schools.
Since then, collaborations with faith-based organisations have been crucial in increasing access to education, particularly in remote regions. Bicham, a private faith-based school, has made a notable impact on education in Kenya. The rising need for schools equipped with modern amenities and a competency-based curriculum has resulted in high demand for Bicham School
At Bicham school we target Pre-Primary, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and Junior Secondary families, expatriates, sponsored learners, and local residents residing in Ngong and its environs. We will also take into account the psychographics of parents seeking a well-rounded education for their children, combining academic excellence with extracurricular activities and holistic education
