The Story of Canopy Life

What Others Are Saying

“The Core Teaching Strategies at Canopy Life enable students to think critically and creatively about the content and about their own learning. This builds both self-confidence and problem-solving ability, as students use content in authentic ways. The teachers at Canopy help students connect their hearts to their minds, so that learning is a joyful journey.”
– Ann Scott Hanks: Educator, 25+ years of experience

“Canopy Life Academy brings a unique and powerful methodology to the development of the next generation of Kenyan leaders. Students are taught to think differently, to dream up creative solutions to difficult problems, and to use their influence to serve others with love and integrity. ”
– Dr. Sara Musgrove, Leaders Lyceum

“ I thank God that (my child) joined this school. She has learned a lot about God, how to live well with others, and has gained a lot of confidence”
– Student Parent
