We Cultivate a Spirit of Independence in Our Learners.
Learning at Arrow Academy is fundamentally built on the premise that we should teach children in how they learn by making learning fun, exciting and engaging.
We aim to equip our learners with 21st century skills and key competencies that will see them flourish in a modern economy.
Our Story
Arrow Academy was conceptualised in 2016 after Optimi recognised the need for a model school where the “classroom of the future” could be created, nurtured, and developed. The school strives to provide a quality learning experience, incorporating whole child development principles while catering to the unique needs of modern-day working families living at an affordable cost.
Our first day of school began on the 9th of January 2017, with 50 eager learners in their new vibrant uniforms ready to kick start their academic adventure at Arrow Academy. That year, we only had Grades RRR to 1 and added two more grades in 2018. We expanded to 265 learners and have since been growing from strength to strength, and now offer Grades RRR through to Grade 7.
Classroom of the future
Harnessing 21st-century learning techniques, we take pride in our forward-thinking approach to education. Our learning strategies are designed to equip learners with the skills and competencies essential for thriving in today's rapidly changing world. Focusing on dynamic learning, we foster independence amongst our learners by creating engaging educational experiences that cultivate critical thinking, and problem-solving while integrating technology into our lessons. These techniques emphasise active learning, creativity, collaboration, and the effective use of technology to foster lifelong learning and adaptability which is essential for success in the next phases of their learning journey.

"They say "it takes a big heart to shape little minds". And indeed you have a big heart.
Thank you so much for being patient and caring for our child. Keitu loves you so much and that is just proof of how you are treating them. We appreciate you so much and we are grateful to have you as Keitu's teacher."
"Mulanga and I would like to extend our gratitude to you, Ms. Stacy. Thank you for being a generous teacher.
Coming to a new school and environment I was a bit anxious and wondered if my child would cope, but thanks to you, Ms. Stacy, my nerves were calmed. My daughter loves and enjoys school and I can attribute this to your caring nature."
Absolutely loving this school. They have created a happy safe environment for my child to learn and grow. The smaller classes made it easier for child to adapt from being at home to integrating into a classroom setting without being overwhelmed and the best service offered by this school that I haven't seen at any other school is that meals are provided for the kids. Not only do they provide fun ways for her to learn and stay interested but they also provide a convience for me. I recommend Arrow Academy to any parent that wants to send their child to a good primary school. -Pranisha Leslie
