Three Institutions.
One Unbreakable Commitment to Excellence.

From Kindergarten through Grade 12 and into vocational careers — Rain Edge schools and training centre give every learner a quality education in a nurturing, inclusive environment.

Primary School

Where Curiosity Becomes a Lifelong Habit

Living Fountain Academy was established in 2010 with a single conviction — that quality education should not be a privilege. Today we serve 380+ learners from Kindergarten through Grade 9 in a vibrant, nurturing, and academically rigorous environment.

We follow the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and enrich it with science clubs, digital literacy, arts, and a robust reading programme. Our school feeding programme ensures no child learns on an empty stomach.
