IPS–Nairobi encourages education for all the children. But as we are not equipped with special methodology for the challenged children, we humbly request parents, not to apply for admission till we are equipped with such facility. If,in spite of the limitations, if such children are incorporated into our system,the school cannot be held responsible in case of their like of adoptability, deficiencies, the art of comprehension, failure to meet the required academic standards and inevitable constraints in the part of holistic development.
