The NPCA Woodley is a vast growing urban
school. It is built on the foundation of Christian principles. To that effect
the school management and the sponsors have established a department that
oversee the spiritual development of the pupils and the staff as well. The
department also carry out guidance and counselling to the pupils, parents and
the staffs where deemed necessary. The school has come up with various
programmes to enhance the spiritual growth of the children

is held on Wednesday morning 7.30-8.10am.On Wednesday afternoon from 1.30-2.30
pm, we have one hour of Bible clubs with all the children. At this time we
teach the word of God, and minister to the children through prayer and one on

Pastoral Programme Instructions (P.P.I)
The
school has also designed a yearly diary that has Bible verses for every week.
The children memorise the verses and hide the word of God in their hearts. We
also use it as a tool of communication between the parents and the teacher. In
this school we admit all children because we believe strongly in holistic
learning for every child irrespective of their creed or background.

Admissions
Admission is by interview and a copy of the latest report form from the current school in addition to a copy of the KCPE results slip for those seeking admission into the Senior School. The head teacher retains the right to require the immediate removal of any pupil whose conduct or work in his/her opinion, is seriously unsatisfactory.
Fees
The school's Board of Governors, realizing the sacrifices many parents make to give their children a good education, endeavors to keep the fees as low as possible, while at the same time providing good teaching and up to date amenities. Fees is payable in advance, however, those parents who wish to pay on a monthly basis are welcome to make such arrangements with the head teacher.
Discipline
A set of school rules are given to every entrant, but the school aims, above all, to encourage self-discipline. Pupils are at all times expected to conduct themselves with good sense and decorum. The school is particularly firm against smoking and drinking, and pupils experimenting with illegal drugs, at home or at school, are expelled.
Parents Meetings
We want parents to feel welcome at NPC Academy Buruburu on every occasion, and hope that they will also feel fully involved and consulted throughout their son's or daughter's time here. Some contact is informal and consists of a telephone call to the head teacher or class teacher, or a brief discussion over a cup of tea at school functions such as Family Worship, which is held termly. Other contact is more structured. Every year-group has a parents meeting during the school year, when parents are invited to discuss with teachers their son's or daughter's progress and discipline.
Administration
The school is owned by CITAM, and is managed by a Board of
Governors appointed by the church's Deacon Board. There is a Head
teacher answerable to the Board of Governors.
