SHADE SCHOOL
of LANGUAGE and CULTURE

We offer four six-month courses in a year scheduled in January, April, August, and October with a maximum of eight students per class.
Our Cross-Cultural Communication Program is an intensive training course including Orientation to East African Culture, Swahili, and Ministry in Africa.
Welcome to our web page!

We are the Shade School of Language and Culture (SSLC), a cross-cultural communication institute dedicated to the teaching of Swahili, also known as Kiswahili to its native speakers.
  
Our mission is to help our students–missionaries sent out by mission organizations, para-church groups, NGOs, and individuals–acquire cultural and social skills in learning and speaking Kiswahili as a second language.
 
SSLC is situated in Brackenhurst, an international conference center in Tigoni on Limuru-Banana Road, 20 kilometers (about 15 miles) from downtown Nairobi, Kenya and approximately 40 kilometers from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
