How to Prepare Your Child for CBE Senior School Pathway Selection

As your child approaches the transition into Senior School, you may find yourself asking:
“How do I prepare my child to select a pathway aligned to their passion and strengths?”

It starts with intentional support, thoughtful pathway selection, and a mindset shift from grades to growth.

At Nova Pioneer, we walk alongside families as they make this exciting leap. Here’s how you can prepare your child for a smooth and meaningful start to their CBE Senior School journey.

 

1. Understand What CBE Senior School Is Really About

Unlike the traditional 8-4-4 system, CBE is designed to:

  • Equip learners with skills and competencies, not just content
  • Emphasize values, collaboration, and real-world application
  • Allow students to pursue pathways that match their passions and strengths

In short, CBE is not just about what students learn, but how they learn, and why.

Tip for Parents: Shift conversations from “What grade did you get?” to “What did you create? What problem did you solve?”

 

2. Choose the Right Pathway: Passion + Strength = Purpose

CBE Senior School offers three key academic pathways:

  • STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
  • Social Sciences 
  • Arts & Sports Science

The best pathway for your child is one that aligns with:

  • What they are curious about
  • What they naturally excel in
  • What kind of impact they want to have

At Nova Pioneer, we help families reflect on learner profiles and long-term goals before making a pathway decision. No pressure, just guided choice through data from their academic performance and our student strength discovery tool/survey.

 

3. Build Soft Skills Early

CBE Senior School emphasizes skills like:

  • Critical thinking
  • Communication
  • Collaboration
  • Leadership
  • Digital literacy

You can nurture these at home by encouraging:

  • Journaling and reflection
  • Group problem-solving (even with siblings!)
  • Participation in youth clubs, coding camps, or debate forums
  • Open discussions on current events

4. Encourage Ownership and Independence

Students in Senior School are expected to take more responsibility for their learning. This includes:

  • Setting academic and personal goals
  • Managing their time and assignments
  • Choosing elective subjects and passion projects

Tip for Parents: Support your child to take initiative and ask them to lead family plans (like planning a meal) to build confidence.

 

5. Choose a School That Nurtures More Than Grades

Look for a school that blends academics with:

  • Real-world exposure (internships, service learning)
  • Student leadership opportunities
  • Project-based learning
  • Mentorship and university prep

At Nova Pioneer, we integrate our Innovation and Leadership Programme into every student’s journey, no matter their pathway. We also have a robust Post School Success Programme providing students with personalised guidance on exploring post-secondary options. The programme also provides support & encouragement, Internships & job shadows, Student Exchange Programme.

 Our programmes ensure that our students leave school with more than a certificate; they leave with clarity, skills, and purpose.

Final Word: It’s Not Just a System Change – It’s a Mindset Shift!

Preparing your child for CBE Senior School means helping them see learning as a tool to shape their future, not just a race to pass exams.

Choose a pathway that excites them. Support their strengths. And trust that with the right environment, they will not only succeed, they will thrive.

From Dreams to Reality: Marclus Heads to The California Institute of Technology

Greetings!

My name is Marclus Marite. I am an alumnus of Nova Pioneer Tatu Boys (Class of 2022) and an incoming freshman at The California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

After sitting for my K.C.S.E, I spent most of my time at home, anxiously awaiting my results. As expected, I achieved an outstanding A, scoring 83 out of 84 points. However, what I did not anticipate was being recognized as one of the top students nationwide! This incredible honor opened doors to numerous opportunities and profoundly shaped the trajectory of my life.

Shortly after receiving my results, I was invited to join the Equity Leaders Program (ELP), a prestigious initiative designed for Kenya’s top-performing students. I underwent an intensive two-week induction at Sportsview Kasarani before interning as a corporate teller at Equity Bank’s Kenyatta University branch for seven months. During this period, I also participated in college counseling provided by ELP.

In October 2023, I took the SAT and achieved an impressive score of 1500/1600. That same month, I enrolled at the University of Nairobi to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. Unfortunately, my college applications abroad were unsuccessful, and I did not secure admission anywhere. However, what seemed like a setback turned out to be a blessing in disguise. This experience reignited my determination and strengthened my resolve to navigate the grueling application process once more.

With renewed clarity and motivation, I applied to top U.S. universities in November 2024. In March 2025, my perseverance finally bore fruit. By God’s grace, I was accepted to both the California Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), each offering me full funding.

I am honored to be attending Caltech this fall, where I plan to major in Applied and Computational Mathematics and later explore the field of Quantitative Finance.

 

Princeton University Bound! Chasing Dreams, Embracing Setbacks, and Trusting The Post School Success Journey

  Hey Novaneers! My name is Lisa Mukoya Ochieng, a proud alumna of Nova Pioneer Tatu Girls (Class of 2022) and an incoming freshman at Princeton University, New Jersey—still very much undecided on my major, but leaning towards something STEM (or maybe humanities?

Hey Novaneers!

My name is Lisa Mukoya Ochieng, a proud alumna of Nova Pioneer Tatu Girls (Class of 2022) and an incoming freshman at Princeton University, New Jersey—still very much undecided on my major, but leaning towards something STEM (or maybe humanities? Who knows, we’ll see). 

Nova Pioneer played a huge role in shaping my journey, thanks to the incredible teammates who supported me every step of the way in high school. Special thanks to Mr. Otaka for guiding me through the application process and writing my counselor recommendation letter, and to Mrs. Melvin and Mr. Opiyo for their amazing subject recommendation letters. I’m deeply grateful.

After completing my K.C.S.E in December 2022, I spent my time at home waiting for results while working on coding projects (because what else do you do when you have way too much free time?). Then came January 2023, K.C.S.E results day. I was expecting good news, but I was still completely shocked when I saw my score: an A of 83/84 points, making me one of the top students in the country and the top girl in Ruiru Sub-county.

With those results, I was selected to join the Equity Leadership Program, which mentors top students countrywide into future leaders. During an intensive two-week job induction camp, we were trained on financial literacy, banking operations, fraud detection, and professional skills. After that, I began a six-month internship as a Relationship Officer at Equity Bank, Embakasi Branch. Alongside my internship, I joined the Equity College Counseling Program, where I prepared for the SAT, crafted my essays, and built my college applications.

I took my first SAT on August 23rd, 2023, scoring 1430/1600 (760 Math, 670 English). While I performed well in Math, the English section proved to be a challenge.

Around this time, I also joined the Kenya Robotics Team as the Assistant Team Captain and began working on building a robot for the FIRST Global Challenge in Singapore. The experience was incredible! I got hands-on with computer-aided design (CAD), deepened my knowledge of Java programming, and truly immersed myself in the world of robotics.

Then came the dreaded college application season, and let’s just say, it was brutal. I applied to 20 colleges in the US, and every single one of them rejected me. 20 out of 20. It felt like the universe had a vendetta against me, but deep down, I knew I couldn’t give up. I also explored other opportunities and was later awarded the full Türkiye Bursları Government Scholarship to study Computer Science at Ankara University. It was an amazing opportunity, but I took a massive risk and declined it to chase my American dream one more time.

Determined to improve my chances, I retook the SAT on October 5th, 2024. My English score went up, but Math decided to betray me that day (1380/1600—710 English, 670 Math). With a superscore of 1470, I still felt it wasn’t competitive enough, so I ultimately applied test-optional (without submitting my SAT scores).

This time, everything changed.

On March 27th, at exactly 2:07 a.m., I got the acceptance letter. “Congratulations!” My first-ever acceptance. And not just anywhere. Princeton University. The #1 ranked university in the U.S. offering me full funding. God came through for me!

I still got 10 rejections this cycle, but honestly? It doesn’t even matter. My American dream came true. I’m still in shock, but I know these next four years are going to be incredible.

To anyone out there chasing big dreams, keep going. Rejection is just redirection. Your moment is coming! And most importantly, trust in God. His timing is always perfect.

 

Choosing the Right Curriculum for Your Child

Selecting the best curriculum for your child’s education is a significant decision that shapes their academic journey and future opportunities. With so many options available; such as traditional, Montessori, Waldorf, International Baccalaureate (IB), and Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), parents are often left wondering which path to choose for their child(ren).

Selecting the best curriculum for your child’s education is a significant decision that shapes their academic journey and future opportunities. With so many options available; such as traditional, Montessori, Waldorf, International Baccalaureate (IB), and Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), parents are often left wondering which path to choose for their child(ren).

Key considerations 

When choosing a curriculum, parents should consider their child’s learning style, interests, and long-term goals. The flexibility of the curriculum, the focus on critical thinking and creativity, and how well it prepares students for future education are all important aspects to weigh. Additionally, the alignment of the curriculum with your family’s values and educational philosophy plays a crucial role.

Understanding Curriculum Differences

Different curricula offer unique approaches to learning. Traditional curricula focus on standardized content and exams, while Montessori and Waldorf emphasize hands-on, child-centered learning. IB is globally recognized for its rigorous, inquiry-based approach, preparing students for university-level work. Meanwhile, CBC, which is gaining traction in Kenya, emphasizes the development of specific competencies and skills rather than rote memorization.

Skills Development in CBC and International Curricula

CBC aims to develop practical skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. These competencies are designed to prepare students for real-world challenges, making learning more relevant and applicable. In contrast, international curricula like IB focus on holistic education, encouraging students to explore subjects deeply and engage in independent research, fostering a global perspective.

As CBC continues to roll out across Kenya, it is set to transform the educational landscape by prioritizing skills and competencies over traditional content delivery. This shift is expected to create a more adaptable and innovative generation of learners, better equipped to meet the demands of the modern world.

2024 is a significant year for Nova Pioneer. It is the year that we mark a decade as a school network and it is also the year that we graduate the highest number of students into the world of possibilities that await them. Additionally, we celebrate our two Eldoret campuses for graduating their inaugural Form 4 class. 

At the end of 2023, we had a total of 289 candidates sit for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations across our four high school campuses in Kenya. We are excited to share with you that 78% of our students achieved A to C+ and 22% achieved C to D. We are eager to support each alumni on their post-school success path through our robust programme.

Our top scoring Novaneer achieved an A of 83 points, Wanjiku Kamau from our Tatu City Girls Campus, and our top performing school is our Eldoret Boys Campus with a mean score of 9.4 with 93% scoring A – C+ and 7% scoring C – D+. 

 

Top Performing Subjects
Subject Points Grade Campus
Business Studies 11.6 A- Eldoret Boys
Computer Science 11.2 A- Eldoret Boys & Eldoret Girls
Geography 11 A- Eldoret Boys

 

 

 

By combining academic mastery with character development, collaborative problem solving skills, and connection to the world, we are preparing Novaneers for the most important test of all: life!  

The path ahead shines bright for our graduates! With the KCSE results now released, we expect a good number of the students to obtain admission in the institutions whose admissions are based on the national examinations results.  Additionally, the Class of 2023 has applied to a range of international universities. These include universities across Australia, Canada, Germany, Ghana and the United States. Most students will receive their admission decisions and scholarship awards to these universities between March and July 2024 but we have already cumulatively received a total of USD$ 6,000,00 in scholarships through pre-admissions to institutions across the world.

These results are testament to the tireless commitment and work of our teachers and post school success counsellors.

Our students have been set up on a path to success and we are proud of them.  We cannot wait to see where they lead next!

Double Your Parent Referral Discount

Thank you for choosing to be part of the Nova Pioneer community and allowing us to be part of your child’s journey. At Nova Pioneer, we know how important it is to build community. Who better to help us do this than our very own parents? Through the referrals you make to other families, we have seen the Nova Pioneer community grow. As a way of showing our appreciation, we are doubling your referral discount when a parent that you have referred to Nova Pioneer, secures their child’s place between 15th May 2024 to 15th July 2024 and enrols their child at one of our Nova Pioneer schools in Kenya at the start of the 2024 academic year. 

How Does Doubling Your Referral Discount Work? 

As an existing Nova Pioneer parent, you could qualify for a 5% discount on your own child’s tuition, when a parent that you refer successfully enrols their child at any of our Nova Pioneer campuses in Kenya. To celebrate your support, the 5% discount is being doubled for a limited time. This means that you could qualify for a 10% discount on your child’s 2024 tuition if a family that you refer to Nova Pioneer secures their spot between 15th May 2024 to 15th July 2024  and enrols their child for the 2024 academic year.

How Our Referral Discount Works

Which Parents are Eligible for a Discount?

  1. In order to successfully enrol a referred student, the prospective parent must state that they were referred to Nova Pioneer by you (your first name and surname), when they fill in the ONLINE APPLICATION FORM in the ‘How did you hear about us?’ section on our website. This is a mandatory requirement to be eligible for the discount.
  2. Referred students cannot have a sibling currently at or having previously been enroled at Nova Pioneer. 
  3. The referral discount is applied to the youngest child’s tuition- if you have only one child at Nova Pioneer, that child will receive the discount. 
  4. There is no limit to the number of students that a current parent can successfully refer and subsequently benefit from. You will be entitled to a 10% discount per referral who successfully secures their spot between 15th May 2024 to 15th July 2024 and enrols for the 2024 academic year.
  5. This referral programme is only open to parents whose child(ren) are enroled at Nova Pioneer at the time when they refer new parents, who then successfully enrol their child(ren) at Nova Pioneer.
  6. The discount is applied termly or annually, depending on the payment option chosen for the 2024 fees of the referring parent.
  7. The referral discount will not be applied should the student’s account be in arrears at the point in time that the discount is allocated.
  8. Nova Pioneer staff do not qualify.
  9. The discount is not transferable to another student or family’s fee.
  10. The discount cannot be converted into- or payable in cash for the equivalent value.

What are the KEY STEPS to SUCCESSFULLY Refer & Receive the “DOUBLE Discount”?

Step 1: A current and referring parent talks to a friend and tells them about Nova Pioneer.

Step 2: The prospective parent completes an online application form and in the ‘How did you hear about us?’ section, they select ‘referred by a current parent’ and write the full name of the parent who referred them.  Note: this is a critical step to log this referral and without providing the first name and surname of the referring parent, they will not qualify for the said discount.

Step 3: The referred parent (a) completes the enrolment process (which may require an assessment), (b) is formally accepted, (c) submits all required documentation, and (d) pays ALL grade/form-relevant fees for their first term at Nova Pioneer.

Step 4: The referred and NEW student starts at Nova Pioneer as planned at the school having completed the steps above.

Step 5: Within 3 weeks thereafter, the SUCCESSFUL referral is flagged to the Nova Pioneer billing team, who will subsequently credit the referring parent fee account with the 10% discount (assuming all terms & conditions are met). 

Note: that the discount will ONLY be applied AFTER the referred student has paid and started at Nova Pioneer. If this happens after you have been billed, then a credit will retrospectively be applied to your fee account, equivalent to the 10% tuition discount, if all of the STEPS are completed and terms & conditions applied with.

IMPORTANT: STEPS 1 to 3 all need to be completed within the specific time frame of 15th May 2024 to 15th July 2024, to qualify for the “Double Discount” of 10%. 

Successful parent referrals outside of this specific time frame, still qualify for the 5% tuition discount which is part of the ongoing Nova Pioneer parent referral programme.

Nova Pioneer respectfully reserves the right to change or withdraw this programme at any stage.

As a current parent who wishes to refer a family, you can also complete this form with the details of the family you wish to refer, and an Admissions teammate will reach out to them and assist them in making a formal application for their child to join one of our Nova Pioneer campuses.

If the future is African, then we have the responsibility to prepare our future African leaders to meet the demands of a turning African century. 

Find Your Nova encompasses the mission for parents and students to explore the opportunities available to them at Nova Pioneer and beyond. The answer to the question of “what do you want to be when you grow up?” no longer needs to be a tough one for your child to respond to. At Nova Pioneer, our students have the confidence to see themselves with the potential to be anything that they want to be under the sun. We empower their imaginations to see themselves as future doctors, climate change activists, agriculturalists, and astronauts of their generation.

This is why when choosing a school for your child, it is important to ensure that the school can adequately inspire and equip your child for a world that doesn’t exist today. Our school develops skills such as critical thinking, life-long learning, problem-solving, curiosity and self-awareness through academic rigour, leadership, and enquiry-based learning. These are the fundamental skills that we at Nova Pioneer anticipate the future will essentially demand from your child.

 

Academic Excellence

Nova Pioneer exceeds high expectations on academic excellence for your child. Our students are challenged to critically interrogate and analyse content, investigate possible ideas and develop practical solutions that they can apply in their in-class activities, helping them achieve their academic goals.  

For our students to achieve academic success, our learning cycle involves learning to overcome the fear of failure, and the value of reflection, and feedback.

Five reasons for parents to get involved in their child’s education

Nova Pioneer encourages parents’ involvement in their child’s education. We organize parent teacher conferences and academic days for parents to find out how students are doing academically and socially. These meet-ups trigger deep conversations regarding the wellness of students in school. 

Research has shown that having parents involved in school has a very positive impact on a child’s education. The Harvard Family Research Project concluded that parental involvement is associated with higher student achievement.

Here are 5 reasons why you should get involved in your child’s education.

Higher Grades; Students whose parents are involved in their education, tend to record an upward trajectory in academics.

Better behavior; Students develop better social skills when parents are involved in school. They are less likely to skip school, less disruptive in class and are more likely to complete homework. The students are less likely to be suspended, expelled or expected to repeat a grade.

Improved Education; Parent involvement in schools directly impacts quality of schools, teachers morale, and improves a schools reputation in the community.

Increased Confidence; When students feel supported both at home and in school, they develop more positive attitude about school, have more confidence and place a high value on academic achievement. 

Parents benefit too; When parents are involved in their children’s education, they become more comfortable with the school,  gain confidence in their parenting skills, and feel more capable of helping their children learn. They are also more likely to continue their own education.

Parents’ involvement in their children’s education always pays off.

Nova Pioneer- Kenya’s CBC Leaders

The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” –Paulo Freire The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC),

The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” –Paulo Freire

The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), a practical and workable educational system that focuses on nurturing children from an early age, was launched in 2017 to address the deficiencies of the previous 8-4-4 system. Instead of relying on the student’s ability to replicate the content in a test paper, CBC intends for students to use the material in practical and real-world settings. This system is student-centred and intended to produce students who are prepared to face and solve problems of the 21st century.

Some parents and students have expressed quite reasonable worries and concerns about the announcement and rollout of CBC. After all, this is not replacing dated curtains to give your house a fresh look – this is the future of your child, Kenya, Africa, and the entire world.

In apt form, Nova Pioneer Schools for Innovators and Leaders have done just that! They have innovated, adapted and are ready to lead the new dawn in what promises to be a vivification in the Kenyan educational system. 

In preparing our teachers for this new role, we have gone above and beyond what was expected of us. The Ministry of Education will provide training, but we are providing additional professional development for our teachers so that they can develop a thorough understanding of CBC and an ability to administer with the diligence that Kenya’s future demands.

With the gradual implementation of CBC, we are prepared and supportive of the last class of 8-4-4, our current class 7 students, who will take their K.C.P.E exams in 2023. Our 8-4-4 and CBC students consistently receive equal attention and high-quality instruction.

In response to our parents’ requests, CBC Grade 7 students will now have the option to enrol in either a day or boarding school as they advance from CBC Grade 6 to CBC Grade 7. Our 8-4-4 students who are scheduled to finish their KCPE in 2023 will continue to receive support at their existing campus and will have the option of attending a Nova Pioneer Day or Boarding secondary school.

We have taken a holistic approach to embracing and mastering CBC, from admissions to the classroom; it has to be mentioned that so much of what we are already offering is well suited for CBC:

  • The holistic student outcomes that we strive for – The 3C’s that we aim to develop in each Novaneer student: Capability, Character & Connection – match well with CBC benefits and intent, namely that of developing the best interests and talents of the student;
  • Our enquiry-based teaching methods that promote student voice and reasoning is precisely the kind of instruction that CBC envisions and that can make it great;
  • Our in-house learning design capabilities and team enable us to research, adapt, and enrich CBC curriculum for our teachers and students;
  • Our professional teacher development practices — supported by our culture principles of Always Growing and Joy of Learning — give our teachers the mindset to actively learn and constantly get better at new practices.

We will continue to provide the best education possible for our students, give them the resources they need to develop into upright citizens, increase their connections to the global community by increasing their likelihood of participating in initiatives such as Model United Nations or Yale’s Young Learners programme, and we will continue to work hard for their success through our unique Post-School programme even after they graduate from our school.

Ours is a life long relationship, a camaraderie, and we invite our current and prospective parents and students  to dialogue about the plans we have made for the future innovators and leaders of the African century.
