St. Joseph’s is happy to share some of the learning, excitement, and joy of the days and ‘happenings’ of times in Kalawa, Kenya.

A recap of the 2024 school year — five areas of focus, daily life at the school, and plans to share highlights as the new year begins.

St. Joseph's welcomed visitors from the US in May and July, bringing teaching resources, running the first Fun Day, and strengthening community ties.

Teachers Musyoki and Ziphora bring storytelling to life — moving fluidly between Kiswahili and English to build vocabulary and comprehension across all grades.

Meet Musyoki — the indispensable heart of St. Joseph's Academy, from greeting the youngest students each morning to coaching PE and bridging Kiswahili and English.

Gideon and Paula spent seven and a half months in Kalawa building St. Joseph's Academy into a beacon of learning — and share their reflections on returning home.
