Important things to know about the Kenyan schools:
-
Loreto Convent Valley Road and Loreto Msongari are private high schools that teach Grades 9 to 12 (referred to as Forms 1 to 4). Many Loreto students live on campus but some commute.
-
Nairobi is 7 hours ahead and school ends at 4 pm for them. Thus, synchronous zooms might be limited. However, they are open to asynchronous collaborations where the Loreto students might complete homework or a project after school, or as part of a club.
-
The best month for collaboration with their school year is October or March which marks the end of each term
-
Students need to book the computer lab to access the Internet. Some students might have access at home.
