Our Humble Beginning
Our Story
A warm greeting to all our esteemed parents, guardians, pupils (past and present), and dedicated facilitators or shall we say, teachers!
Today, we embark on a journey through the history of Greenyard Junior School, a story that began 31 years ago. It’s a story filled with humble beginnings, unwavering faith, and an unwavering love for nurturing young minds.
From Empty Rooms to a Growing Haven – Greenyard’s story started in 1992. After our children left for boarding schools, our once lively home felt empty. The desire to fill those rooms with laughter and learning led us to explore the idea of a Daycare. The journey wasn’t about profit; it was about love. We envisioned a space where parents could entrust their precious children and receive care that extended beyond academics. The name “Greenyard” perfectly captured this essence: a fresh, new environment full of growth, nestled within the familiar space of a home.
A Remarkable Day and a River of Blessings – January 4th, 1993, became a day etched in our memory. Filled with a mix of excitement and nerves, we welcomed our first five learners. Their arrival transformed our anxieties into pure joy. This marked the beginning of Greenyard’s journey, a journey blessed by God’s abundant grace. Within a year, our small group had grown to nearly 40 pupils, solidifying our purpose.
Evolving to Meet the Needs of Our Community – Greenyard’s growth wasn’t just in numbers. We strived for holistic development – physical, mental, spiritual, social, and academic. Initially, we focused on preschool, but the demand for a complete primary education experience grew stronger.
With unwavering faith and tireless efforts, we overcame serious challenges and expanded our facilities, allowing our first K.C.P.E candidates to sit for their exams in 2004. The results were a testament to the dedication of our team and the potential we nurtured in our learners.
Equipping Happy and Useful Members of Society – Our core mission at Greenyard has remained constant: to prepare and equip children to become happy and valuable members of society. This means fostering not only academic excellence but also strong national values, a sense of social responsibility, and a work ethic that contributes to the betterment of our community. We believe in a collaborative approach, and we extend a heartfelt invitation to all parents to partner with us in molding the leaders of tomorrow.
A Heartfelt Thank You– This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of God, our dedicated team, and all the Greenyard families, past and present. We are eternally grateful for their trust and encouragement.
We strive to be a positive influence in the lives of our pupils, and we hope they carry fond memories of their time at Greenyard. We also acknowledge any shortcomings and humbly ask for forgiveness.
As we move forward, we remain dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for generations of learners to come.
