Academic results tell you part of a school's story. The rest of it plays out on the football pitch, in the music room, and around a chess board after class. At Sikri Academy, seven co-curricular programmes run alongside the CBC classroom — not as extras, but as a core part of how we educate the whole child.

Seven Programmes, One Philosophy

Football, swimming, and handball build fitness, teamwork, and resilience through structured training and real inter-school fixtures. Music — piano, guitar, vocal training, and choir — builds creative confidence through practical performance rather than theory alone. Chess and darts sharpen strategic thinking, while scouting fosters community service and character beyond the classroom.

Confidence, Built in Public

In March 2026, our soccer team defeated 12 schools to win the Oyugis Inter-School Championship — a result of months of structured training, not a lucky afternoon. The month before, our annual Music & Talent Showcase brought together more than 120 students in music, drama, dance, and spoken word, performing for an audience of over 500 families. From shy Playgroup performers taking their first steps on stage to Grade 9 students commanding a full auditorium, it's a reminder that confidence is something a school can actively build, not just hope for.

Why This Isn't "Extra"

A learner who has stood in front of 500 people to sing, or held their nerve in the final minutes of a championship match, brings that same composure into an exam room or a class presentation. That's the real argument for co-curricular programmes: the skills transfer. Teamwork learned on a pitch shows up in group projects. The discipline of daily practice shows up in how a learner approaches homework.

How Families Can Get Involved

  • Ask which of the seven programmes your child has shown interest in — most learners try more than one before settling
  • Attend the showcases and fixtures where possible; the audience is part of what makes the experience build confidence
  • Talk to your child's activity coach as regularly as you'd talk to a subject teacher

Education at Sikri goes beyond academics — it's about developing confident, expressive, well-rounded young people ready to contribute meaningfully wherever they go next.
