Welcome to Kivukoni

Kivukoni School, set within Kilifi Plantation alongside Takaungu creek, offers an inspiring learning environment with a progressive, dynamic curriculum. The learning journey runs from the Early Years (age 2) up to Year11 for iGCSEs where children really do 'love to learn' and, in KVK2, 'where students thrive'.

Our school is a warm, diverse community and a healthy natural environment sets the scene for a school that values broad and engaging learning experiences alongside academic success.
