Tutorial System

A unique feature of Kianda School through which students receive personal attention at all levels. Tutors maintain close contact with parents, thus involving them in their children’s education. Each student is assigned a tutor, who meets the student twice a month and the parents of the student at least once a term.
Among the aims of the tutorials is to support and monitor the student’s academic progress. However, the tutorials are not restricted to academics and usually extend to cover other aspects of life, providing a means of guidance and character building in an atmosphere of mutual esteem.

The Tutorial System This is a unique feature offered by the school whereby each student is allocated a tutor/mentor. This is a member of staff who guides the student in her academics, and character formation. The School’s tutorial and personal follow up system allows home and school to work together to ensure the best for each student. The system allows for greater parent involvement. This means that parents with the help of the tutor help to forge their daughter’s character according to their values. This system, therefore, fosters strong links with the parents. Character Formation/Personality Development Time and effort is dedicated towards forming the students in Christian virtues through seminars and talks. They are helped to foster a spirit of service at home and in school. A lot of guidance is given to building strong moral values, responsibility and diligence, emotional stability, participation in school life, sociability and friendliness. Development of leadership skills is also fostered. Etiquette The students are also taught about social, table and office etiquette; deportment – care for appearance and personal habits; the art of public speaking and getting along with people.

◊ From the Parenting Office

The school believes in working closely with the parents in the formation of their daughters and in building better relationships between them. Courses and seminars are organized by experienced parents and family educators in order to help parents/guardians to do this. These courses and seminars cover current societal issues particularly around the family. School events also give parents and daughters this opportunity.

Some of the courses offered to the parents are:

Married Love – this course helps married couples recognize the current situation their married life is in and improve as people, spouses and parents and raise the quality of their “Married Love”.

First Steps is aimed at young parents who are expecting or have children less than 4 years. This course helps them discover their children’s great potential, how to stimulate their learning and the right time to do so. It allows parents to discover how wonderful parenthood is and provides essential tools in bringing up their children.

First Letters – this course covers the development of children who are 4-8 years old, the age when their developing personality begins to come out. The emphasis is thus on tailoring their education and setting goals for each stage of the child’s development.

Adolescence – Parents analyse causes and effects of the changes their teenage boys and girls go through. They also study the most appropriate guidelines for maintaining a strong, sensible relationship with their children without limiting their natural discovery of the world around them.
