Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Counselling & Guidance provides a trusted space where learners can talk, reflect, and grow with confidence. The focus is on the whole child — emotions, relationships, ambitions, and wellbeing. Open Conversation means we listen, understand, and guide without judgment. Students develop personal strength and self-discovery, learning to manage emotions and build resilience. Healthy relationships and social skills are promoted to support friendships and teamwork. Counselling supports future direction by helping students navigate subject choices and career dreams.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is seen as a foundation for success. Workshops, conversations, and peer-support programs help shape balanced, confident learners. Counselling & Guidance partners with teachers and parents to support students emotionally and socially. The culture encourages asking for help and promotes kindness and empathy. The approach aims to develop resilience, emotional regulation, and healthy relationships as part of daily life.

Safeguarding

Protecting Every Learner, Every Day. A thriving student is a safe student; learners feel secure, healthy, and ready to achieve their best — physically and emotionally. Safety is a culture, not just a rule. A Healthy School Community includes on-site healthcare, health screenings, clean facilities, and routines that promote nutrition, hydration, and fitness. Secure campus entry, safety-trained staff, supervised activities, and emergency drills protect students daily. Parents, staff, and counsellors collaborate to maintain a caring environment, respectful behaviour, and responsible choices. The school aims to give students peace of mind to focus on learning, growth, and confidence.

Viraj International Academy is a co-educational day and boarding school in Kenya serving learners from 3 to 18. The school offers a blended Kenyan National Curriculum via Competency-Based Education and the Cambridge International Curriculum, with Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A Levels, and a Bespoke Curriculum, complemented by Montessori Education for the early years. The Global Curriculum combines Kenyan and Cambridge approaches to provide an internationally minded program. Since opening in 2015, the academy has grown into a campus with modern facilities, including fully equipped computer labs, science laboratories, smart classrooms, a library, and dining services, plus comfortable boarding houses with 24/7 supervision. The sporting program features swimming, track and field, and inter-school competitions, alongside a broad extracurricular offering. A distinctive feature is the integrated approach that pairs Kenyan education standards with Cambridge qualifications, supported by CSR initiatives and a Student Council to foster leadership and community engagement.
