• Pastoral & Character Interview: A friendly 20-minute interaction between the school leadership, the child, and parents to align on educational goals, discipline values, and co-curricular interests.
• Assessments can be conducted on-campus (Nairobi, Mombasa, Malindi) or remotely via scheduled video call for overseas families.
