Welcome to Ngeya Primary School

Ngeya Primary School was started in 1989 with only 184 pupils. In recent years, the population has greatly increased due to the introduction of Free Primary Education in 2003, internal displacement after the elections of 2002 and 2007, and population growth in Maai Mahiu town.

Currently the population stands at 1700 students with 300 desks, 18 classrooms (most unfinished), and 12 teachers. The school has a lunch feeding program provided by Kenya Kids Can. The classrooms have no electricity, and currently there are no computers at the school. This blog is updated from Kenya by Ngeya Primary students working on two donated laptops which are brough into the school twice per week by CTC Rafiki Link educators.

On this blog you will find posts from Ngeya Primary school and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!

Greetings from Bannockburn School!




We're excited to get to know you!

Here's a little bit about who we are...

Bannockburn School District 106 was established in 1930 in Lake County, Illinois. The District boundaries take in the Village of Bannockburn including Trinity International University, the easternmost section of Riverwoods, Del Mar Woods, unincorporated areas of West Deerfield and Vernon Townships, and the western edge of Highland Park. Although the District is small in size, it educates a diverse student population.

Today, Bannockburn School houses less than 200 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Our students typically achieve top statewide scores on all measures. In addition to customary regular and special education programs, the school provides the following enhancements:

  • Foreign language instruction to students from kindergarten through eighth grade
  • Algebra for most students during their eighth grade year
  • Science taught in a laboratory setting beginning in the first grade
  • Students use a variety of technological tools in their studies across curricular areas. The ration of students to computers is approximately 1:1.

Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extra curricular activities. We offer band, orchestra, choir, interscholastic boys' and girls' basketball and volleyball, a professionally directed school play, and a variety of after-school enrichment activities.


We are the 6th, 7th and 8th graders of Bannockburn School!
