Rusinga is not just an academic school; there is a strong emphasis on the Moral and Spiritual Development of the child. Everyday begins with devotion either within a tutor group or in a collective school assembly. Every pupil follows a course in Christian Religious Education and is encouraged to follow the principles that God has laid down for us in the Bible.
Pastoral issues are addressed during daily devotions, school assemblies and prayer week as well as through Chaplaincy.
Great emphasis is placed on interpersonal communication with parents, with regular communication via the School Diaries, Parents’ and Teachers’ Consultation Meetings, Newsletters, Telephone and E-mail.
