St. Mary’s School Yala is a Roman Catholic primary and secondary school for boys located on the Kisumu-Busia highway in Yala Township in the Nyanza Province of Western Kenya.
Founded in 1927 by the Mill Hill missionaries notably Msgr. Brandsma who wanted to start a teacher's college for catholic schools, the school opened its doors in 1927 making it one of the oldest schools in Kenya.[1]
The school eventually evolved to become a full primary school and junior secondary school that expanded to become the current St. Mary’s Yala. Approximately 2000 students attend the school each year and has a teaching staff of 40. The school follows the Kenyan 8-4-4 education system.
