The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) marks a significant shift in Kenya’s education system, focusing on nurturing skills, values, and competencies rather than rote memorization. At Wakajoy Junior School, CBC is not just a policy requirement but a guiding philosophy that shapes how we teach, assess, and nurture our learners from Play Group to Junior Secondary School.

At the core of CBC implementation at Wakajoy is learner-centered education. Our teachers create interactive classroom environments where learners actively participate through discussions, group work, projects, and practical activities. This approach encourages curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving—key competencies emphasized under CBC. Learners are guided to ask questions, explore ideas, and apply knowledge in real-life contexts rather than simply memorizing content.

Wakajoy Junior School also integrates values and character development into daily learning. Guided by our Christian foundation and school motto “Molding Lives,” we intentionally instill discipline, integrity, responsibility, teamwork, and respect. These values are embedded in lessons, assemblies, club activities, and everyday interactions, ensuring learners grow morally and socially alongside academic development.

To support CBC implementation, the school has invested in qualified and experienced teachers who are well-trained in CBC methodologies. Our teachers continuously engage in professional development to stay aligned with evolving curriculum requirements and best teaching practices. This ensures effective lesson delivery, accurate learner assessment, and meaningful feedback.

Another key aspect of CBC at Wakajoy is the use of practical learning resources and activities. Learners engage in hands-on tasks, creative projects, presentations, and collaborative assignments that allow them to demonstrate competencies in authentic ways. These activities help learners connect classroom learning to real-life experiences, making education more meaningful and enjoyable.

Parents play a vital role in CBC success, and Wakajoy Junior School strongly values parent–school partnership. Through regular meetings, progress updates, and open discussions, parents are actively involved in their children’s learning journey. This collaboration ensures consistent learner support both at home and in school.

By fully embracing CBC, Wakajoy Junior School is nurturing confident, skilled, and responsible learners who are well-prepared for KPSEA, KILEA, and future life challenges. Our commitment remains to provide holistic education that truly molds lives.
