“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere efforts, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” By Aristotle.

Developing positive relationships with peers and educators assists young learners to feel included at school. The early learning about self and others lays the foundation for the learner’s future health and wellbeing.  

OSHWAL ACADEMY NAIROBI NURSERY always strives to provide holistic education and respect for diverse cultures. One of the anticipated events of this term- The Navratri Event 2021 was a special celebration at school in honour of Maa Durga.
