About us

A balanced education, rooted in faith.

Kira Junior School – Kito is a private mixed day and boarding nursery and primary school, duly registered and licensed by the Ministry of Education and Sports.

Our story

Founded with a passion for quality, balanced education.

Kira Junior School – Kito sits in a serene, conducive atmosphere for learning. It was founded by a varied network of professionals, including successful educationists, engineers and university academicians, who work together under the FOM Foundation.

We are a dual curriculum school. Alongside the national competence-based curriculum, pupils study Quran, Fiqh, Lugha and Tarbia at every level, from nursery to primary. The school continues to make steady progress in both secular and theology studies.

Choosing Kira Junior School for the first phase of your child's life is a good decision for you and your child. Your child will be nurtured into a well-cultured, disciplined, focused and responsible person, ready to face the challenges of the 21st century.
