Until 2023, we taught the children of the community at Zion Nursery and Primary School. Unfortunatly, we couldn`t afford the payment for the teachers or supplies anymore and had to close the school for now. Our wish for the future ist to reopen it again to give the children a chance for a bright future where not even the sky is the limit.
Before the school had to close, we had 86 students divided into 6 classes (3 nursery and 3 primary). We focused on having fun while teaching to make the learning experience better for the children. Here we allow the children to be children, while also learning their ABC’s.
The nursery. Here we teach music and dance to promote a creative space for learning. We also teach the nursery students English, Lumasaba (the local language), reading and writing. The more theory heavy material is taught through fun narratives.
The Primary School. Here we teach subjects like English, Lumasaba, reading and writing, science, religion, math and social studies. In primary school we use the common method of illustrative teaching, and also teach in more inclusive manners by letting the students discuss and work in groups.
Right now, we are collecting founds through our projects and through donations that are directed to this project. One trimester at our school costs 15 € per child. We are grateful for those, that want to support our young children as a volunteer our with donations.
