Learn & Create

Fostering active and creative minds

Special education isn’t just about support; it’s about unlocking the unique brilliance within every child.” At Christ The King-Maktau, we serve the children of Taita Taveta County and Kenya at large. From learners with cerebral palsy to those with specific disorders , we provide a sanctuary where “different” is celebrated and “potential” is a promise.

About us

Sustainable therapy and professional services integrated into daily learning.

Christ The King-Maktau Special School is a beacon of hope located in Maktau ,Taita Taveta County. We are a specialized institution dedicated to the development of learners with a wide range of needs. We don’t just see a diagnosis; we see a dreamer, a creator, and a future contributor to society.

“Your investment in Christ the King-Maktau is not a charity toward disability; it is a partnership in human potential, ensuring that no mind is left behind and every ‘gift of diversity’ is given the wings to fly.”

Core Objectives

Our Core Strategic Objectives

Inclusive Academic Excellence

Breaking Barriers to Quality Education We are committed to increasing enrollment and fostering an environment where learners with special needs are not just admitted, but are fully supported to stay in school. By promoting values of patience and inclusion, we ensure that every student has access to a curriculum that respects their pace while challenging their potential.

Holistic Advocacy & Sustainable Partnerships

Building a Supportive Ecosystem We believe it takes a village to raise a child. Our objective is to create widespread awareness among stakeholders regarding the unique needs of our learners. By establishing and strengthening partnerships with donors, healthcare providers, and the community, we mobilize the resources and professional support services necessary to sustain our mission and protect our students during times of conflict or disaster.

Holistic Personal Development

Nurturing Active Minds and Creative Spirits Beyond academics, our focus is on the “whole child.” We aim to develop learners with creative minds who have the confidence to act on their beliefs. By integrating arts, vocational training, and social-emotional learning, we prepare our students to pursue their individual aspirations and transition into adulthood as positive, contributing members of the global community.

Why us

The best learning experience

Ensuring Sanctuary in Every Circumstance The safety of our learners is paramount, especially for those with multiple disabilities or physical impairments.

Holistic approach
Passionate teachers
Close Supervision
Kindness

For a child navigating physical or intellectual challenges, a kind word or a patient smile provides the psychological safety needed to take risks, try new skills, and move beyond their comfort zone.

Creativity

We believe that a creative mind is a resilient mind. By encouraging our students to think outside the box, we prepare them to act on their beliefs and pursue aspirations that others might deem “impossible.”

Emotional

For learners with speech and language difficulties, emotions often become the primary language. Our staff is trained to “listen” to behavior and body language, ensuring that every child’s feelings are validated, even when they cannot be voiced.

Innovation

Innovation is at the core of our vocational training. We don’t just teach for today; we look at the evolving job market in Kenya and the world to equip our students with skills in digital literacy and creative problem-solving that foster true self-reliance.

Daily Teachings

In our classrooms, creativity is the evidence that diversity is a gift.

Emotional Regulation as a Life Skill:

Many of our learners—particularly those with Autism or sensory processing needs—experience the world with intense sensitivity. We provide “Safe Spaces” and sensory tools to help them navigate overwhelm, turning frustration into self-awareness.

Building Resilience and Self-Worth:

We celebrate small victories with great joy. By focusing on what a child can do, we help them replace the “stigma of disability” with the “pride of capability,” fostering a resilient emotional core that says, “I belong, and I am enough.”

Expression Beyond Words:

When traditional speech or writing is a challenge, creativity provides a vital outlet. Through music, painting, movement, and tactile crafts, our learners express their inner worlds, ensuring their voices are heard and their identities are celebrated.

Validation of the “Unspoken”:

For learners with speech and language difficulties, emotions often become the primary language. Our staff is trained to “listen” to behavior and body language, ensuring that every child’s feelings are validated, even when they cannot be voiced.

A Sanctuary of Empathy:

We teach our students to care for one another. In our classrooms, you will see a child with a physical impairment encouraging a peer with a learning disorder. —Diversity is a Gift—truly comes to life.

Unlocking Innovation:

We believe that a creative mind is a resilient mind. By encouraging our students to think outside the box, we prepare them to act on their beliefs and pursue aspirations that others might deem “impossible.”

What parent say

Christ The King-Maktau was the best decision our family ever made. Before he joined, we struggled to find a place that saw his potential rather than just his physical challenges. Here, he isn’t just a ‘student with a disability’—he is a drummer, a friend, and a boy with a voice.

— Mama Baraka, Proud Parent

More than just a joyful place

We are dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment tailored to meet the specific needs of our learners.
