Director of Studies

 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF STUDIES

The office of the Director of Studies is charged with the responsibility of curriculum implementation in the school following the guidelines set by the Ministry of Education. It ensures the upholding of high standards of education at VGGS.

The subjects offered at Vanessa Grant Girls’ School include English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, C.R.E, Agriculture, Business Studies, Computer studies, Home Science, Music, French and Art and Design.

The junior school is a recent addition to the Vanessa Grant Girls’ family. In January 2024, students were admitted in grades 7 and 8. All the subjects in the new CBC curriculum are taught in the school. These are Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Integrated Science, Social studies and life skills, Agriculture and nutrition, Pre-technical studies, Christian Religious Education and Creative Arts and Sports.

Content delivery employs effective and innovative methods that utilize I.C.T. This is done by a dedicated and highly qualified team of teachers who are all T.S.C. accredited. The team is dedicated to the success of the students and maintaining the upward trend in K.C.S.E performance witnessed in the last three years.

The school is well endowed with learning resources. These include textbooks in the ratio of one to one, a well-stocked library, modern laboratories and an ultra-modern resource Centre.

We have simulated subject rooms that enable students to switch rooms to enhance their understanding of various subjects. The school also has various clubs and societies that help to grow student’s talents and also help them unwind after a busy day in class.

We also have academic and co-curricular departments in the school which ensures proper management of all aspects of the school. Each department is headed by an able H.O.D. Regular meetings between the H.O.Ds and the school management ensure that all challenges that may affect content delivery are addressed on time.

Performance at KCSE has been on an upward trend for the last three years.

VGGS is the right place to be for a conducive learning environment, social and spiritual growth and the formation of an all-round individual who embraces discipline, leadership and integrity.

Mr.Julius M. Mwangi,

Director of studies.
