About Senior School in the Competency-Based Curriculum
Senior School is the fourth level of basic education under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), following Pre-Primary, Primary, and Junior School.
The purpose of Senior School is to provide learners with a pre-tertiary and pre-career experience, allowing them to choose pathways and tracks based on their interests, abilities, and demonstrated potential at earlier levels.
Senior School spans three years, typically for learners aged 16 to 18, and lays the foundation for tertiary education, training, and entry into the world of work.
At this level, learners shall take seven (7) learning areas as recommended by the Presidential Working Party on Educational Reforms (PWPER, 2023). These shall comprise four core learning areas, namely: English, Kiswahili, Essential Mathematics/Core Mathematics, and Community Service Learning (CSL).
Learners will choose between Core Mathematics (for learners pursuing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Pathway) and Essential Mathematics (for learners pursuing non-STEM pathways).
The learner will select three learning areas based on their career choice, aptitude, interests, and personality, with guidance from the Senior School career teacher.
