Thematic projects
Each term's big theme brings literacy, maths, science and the arts together in hands-on projects children are proud to present.
Cambridge Early Years & Primary · Nairobi
Where every child rises golden.
An international school for ages 3 to 11, where rigorous Cambridge academics, strong character and each child's own talents grow together.
Why Golden Rays
We believe a great education shapes the whole child — the mind that questions, the heart that cares, and the gifts waiting to be discovered.
Golden Rays was founded on a simple idea: academics alone are not enough. Every day here balances three things — academic excellence, character development, and the identification and growth of talent. Children learn to be accountable, too: at lunch they clear and clean their own dishes, because responsibility is taught by doing.

The Head of SchoolGolden Rays International School
A Cambridge journey, designed for childhood.
We follow the Cambridge curriculum's requirements and sit Cambridge assessments, but we never limit how children learn. Wherever possible we teach thematically, so every concept arrives through many doors.
