Makarim Ohud Day Care, located in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is a Centre of educational excellence that brings the Kenyan Competency-Based Education (CBE) closer to Kenyans living in the Kingdom and to learners from across Africa. The school provides a nurturing, inclusive, and globally minded environment where every learner—from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to Primary 7—develops the competencies needed to thrive in the 21st century.
Grounded in the CBE philosophy, our approach focuses on holistic growth through hands-on, learner-centered experiences that build creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and digital literacy. Makarim Ohud Day Care also celebrates cultural diversity and embraces learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring that every child is supported to reach their full potential. Through a balance of academic excellence, values-based learning, and community engagement, we prepare our learners to become confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizens.
At Makarim Ohud Day Care, our Competency-Based Education (CBE) approach builds on the holistic development of learners from Early Childhood Development (ECD) through Primary 7. This stage lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing essential competencies such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and digital literacy.
Our learning environment encourages active participation, problem-solving, and innovation, allowing each learner to connect knowledge with real-life experiences. We celebrate diversity by welcoming students from across Africa and beyond, creating a culturally rich and inclusive community that prepares learners to thrive in a global society.
The school also embraces inclusivity for learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring that every child receives the support, understanding, and individualized guidance necessary to succeed. Through differentiated instruction and a nurturing environment, we aim to empower all learners to reach their full potential as confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizens.
At Makarim Academy, the learning environment is thoughtfully prepared to promote effective communication and teamwork. Classrooms are organized to encourage dialogue, group discussions, and peer collaboration. Learners engage in cooperative projects and interactive lessons that build confidence in expressing ideas clearly, listening respectfully, and working harmoniously with others. This approach nurtures empathy, respect for diversity, and strong interpersonal skills are essential for both local and global contexts.
The CBE approach emphasizes learning that challenges students to think critically and find creative solutions. Learners are encouraged to explore real-world issues, analyze information, and make informed decisions through inquiry-based learning. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding learners to question, investigate, and reflect. This competency prepares students to handle complex challenges with confidence, independence, and sound judgment.
Our curriculum fosters creativity by integrating subjects and encouraging learners to make meaningful connections between concepts. Through art, storytelling, science experiments, and innovation challenges, learners use imagination to express ideas and invent solutions. By linking knowledge from different disciplines, they develop curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to approach problems with originality.
At Makarim Ohud Day Care, learners are empowered to believe in their own abilities and take charge of their learning journey. Through guided independence, reflection activities, and leadership roles, they build confidence, responsibility, and resilience. Learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN) receive personalized support that builds on their strengths and ensures equal opportunities for success. This nurturing approach helps every child develop a strong sense of self-belief and perseverance.
Learning is viewed as a lifelong process. The CBE framework encourages learners to explore, research, and take ownership of their educational progress. Teachers provide learning experiences that promote curiosity, goal setting, and reflection. Through projects, digital learning, and self-assessment, learners develop skills to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world — a foundation for continued growth beyond school.
As a multicultural and inclusive school, Makarim promotes active and responsible citizenship. Learners participate in school and community initiatives that build empathy, integrity, and environmental stewardship. Activities such as clean-up drives, charity events, and intercultural exchanges teach students the importance of compassion, respect, and contribution to both local and international communities. Learners are guided to become global citizens who value peace and sustainability.
Technology is integrated into daily learning experiences to equip learners with essential 21st-century skills. Through guided digital projects, research tasks, and responsible use of online resources, learners develop competence in using technology for communication, problem-solving, and creativity. SEN learners are supported with adaptive digital tools that enhance accessibility and engagement. The goal is to create confident, ethical, and digitally savvy learners ready for the modern world.
CBC values learning beyond the classroom. Learners engage in community-based projects and outdoor activities that connect them to real-world issues and environmental awareness. Whether through school gardens, cultural exchanges, or outreach programs, they learn responsibility, teamwork, and care for their surroundings. These experiences reinforce empathy, global-mindedness, and the spirit of service.
A strong partnership between parents, teachers, and the wider community is central to our CBE philosophy. Parents are involved through regular meetings, workshops, and shared learning experiences that support the holistic growth of each learner. This collaboration ensures consistency between home and school, celebrates diversity, and strengthens the inclusive support system for all learners, including those with special educational needs.
