Philosophy

  • The Maasai depends on its generations. Future generations depend on efforts from fore generations. A successful community depends on responsible and proud citizens, which depends on a community of good morale and values. 

    Today's children are leaders for tomorrow. It is important to educate Maasai children and enable them to make a strong contribution to the ongoing needs of their community.This philosophy nurtures the values of a strong community.

    Maasai High School is not affiliated with any religious or political organization, and does not discriminate against gender, race, color, or religion

  • Maasai oral literature and Traditions

The integration of western and Maasai educational learning systems is vital to the survival of the Maasai people, following the priorities, needs and interest of the Maasai community. Such an integrated system allows Maasai children to contribute effectively in this rapidly changing world

  • The community encourages self-discipline rather than discipline through foreign rules. Younger students are encouraged to become positive role models for future generations. This idea cultivates the Maasai traditional principle of intergenerational support system.
