THE 600-YEAR-OLD BRITISH DURHAM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL - Kenya!

THE 600-YEAR-OLD BRITISH DURHAM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL: Opens doors in Africa, Kenya to be specific!

In search of quality Early Years Foundation education for your kids? One of the world's oldest schools the prestigious Durham School has announced they are making entry into Africa through its first African Campus in Kenya.
Durham School is over 600 years old and was home to top distinguished personalities in different fields such as Sir Peter Vardy Chairman Vardy Group plc, Sir Robert Owen UK High Court Judge, Sir Donald Limon Clerk to the House of Commons, and Peter Lodge Transplant Surgeon.
The school that was first founded in 1414, and later re-founded by King Henry VIII of England in 1541, will begin operations in January 2021 and will offer the British curriculum starting with nursery and prep-school for ages two to six
Welcoming the announcement, British High Commissioner to Kenya, Jane Marriott says, “As a former student of History at Durham University, I am delighted Durham will be opening a school in Nairobi in January 2021. Education links are a key part of the UK and Kenya’s relationship, and it’s fantastic to see Durham School is the first British school to open a branch in East Africa,”
According to Mrs. Ann Champion, the Early Years Foundation Stage Director, Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School will be an exciting place for your kid; it will be a family school, building on a strong sense of community between pupils, parents, and staff.
IMPORTANTLY: Durham's EYFS framework is organised into the seven interconnected areas below of learning and development that I found to be very important as the child grows up.
Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
SCHOOL FEE: Couldn't find the fee structure, however, being Durham, you can expect the school fee to be in the same range as other international schools in Kenya.
Is this a school you would love your kid to join?

THE FALLEN GRACE - WITNESSED

Let me tell you something about God's grace.  Ever wondered why some mighty preachers, gospel artists, motivation speakers, etc., who used to run the airwaves, no longer do so? Ever wondered why a gospel artist, who would step on a stage and the masses go crazy can longer even attract 1000 views for their really good music?  Even wondered why your favorite motivational speakers literary receive no attention like they used to? And that preacher who would literary command the whole nation to touch radio for prayers and a huge % of households would follow - can no longer even attract the same? A preacher who would their church full to capacity forcing the need for more services, can no longer witness such? So they resort to staging miracles to get hold of the members?
