Classes at DGS

The aim at Destiny Garden School is to keep the classes small, no more than 30 children, to ensure that each and every child gets the attention they need to develop their full potential. At present, the classes at the school go from Baby Class to KG1, KG2, KG3 (Kindergarten) and Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6. Classes 7 and 8 will be built in 2013 and 2014.

Class 3 with Madam Trezar

Class 4 with Mr Moses

The ages range from 2 ½ year olds to 13 year olds, although there are older children up to 15 years. The classes aren’t necessarily age related as some of the children have never been to school before, so they are classed according to their level of education. At present, Destiny Garden School has 8 teachers who are all fully qualified and are dedicated to the welfare of the youngsters.

Class 1 with Madam Naomi

Class KG1 with Madam Verconica

The intention at Destiny Garden School is to go up to Class 8, when the children take the KCPE Certificate level (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education).

Baby Class with Madam Betty

In 2011 the Baby Class was taken in the rented room where this photo was taken, whilst Classrooms 5 and 6 were being built.
