The Kenya High School is a public girls' high school located on Mandera Road in the upmarket Kileleshwa Ward and suburb of Dagoretti North Sub-County in Kenya's capital city, Nairobi. [1]
The school, which follows the national curriculum, is one of Kenya's 112 national schools and also one of the 18 prestigious Cluster III secondary schools.[2] Located on a 150-acre campus some six Km from the Central Business District, the institution caters for 1700+ students who attend Forms 1-4 (= US grades 9-12) in seven to nine streams, at the end of which the students sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. It is primarily a boarding school and accepts day-scholars on a case-by-case basis. The Kenya High School consistently performs well in national secondary exams, and has enforced a proper code of conduct to be followed by all.
