Lower-Primary
At Bishop Mahiaini Academy, our Lower Primary Section provides a vibrant, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where children build the knowledge, skills, and values that form the foundation for lifelong learning. Guided by the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), we ensure that every learner is actively involved in meaningful experiences that promote creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving. Our Lower Primary classes are led by a team of qualified, passionate, and dedicated teachers who understand that every child learns differently. Through individualized support and learner-centered teaching approaches, we inspire confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning while encouraging learners to become responsible, independent, and respectful members of the school community.
The Lower Primary years are a significant stage in a child’s educational journey. During this period, learners strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills while developing communication, digital literacy, creativity, and social competence.
