Vision
​Chipukizi School was born from a simple but powerful idea: that many education systems do not prepare children for the world they will inherit. Whether it’s adapting to the ways technology is reshaping how we interact with the world, responding to climate uncertainty, or cultivating global empathy, we believe education must focus on teaching children HOW to think — not WHAT to think.
​
At the same time, we hold equally strong to the belief that childhood should be protected- free from the relentless pressure to do everything sooner, faster, earlier, and bigger. At Chipukizi, we strive to strike a vital balance: preparing our children for a rapidly changing future, while nurturing the foundations that allow them to explore their world- in their own way, at their own pace. ​

"Chipukizi has truly been a gift to our family and community. Each morning, we feel completely at ease dropping off our sons, knowing they are in such a nurturing, joyful environment. The connections they're forming with other children, the warmth and care of the wonderful teachers, and the amazing natural space all make Chipukizi feel like a second home for our little people."
