The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya follows a 2-6-3-3-3 education cycle, which means learners transition through a total of 17 levels, with each level lasting for one year. At The Brace School, we teach the three of the four levels:
1. Pre-primary level
(a) Play group
(b) Pre primary 1
(c) Pre primary 2
2. Primary level
(a) Grade 1 to 6
3. Junior school
(a) Grade 7 - 9
4. Senior School
(a) Grade 10 (starting in January 2026)
The Cambridge curriculum is comprehensive in scope. Learners can expect to take part in coursework, written exams and practical assessments. Competency-Based Curriculum, on the other hand, intends to assess learners' problem-solving abilities. Assessments are project-based assignments that encourage learners to collaborate with their classmates and put their problem-solving abilities to use.
