About KES

Where Likoni children get their start.

We opened on one belief: every child deserves a good education, whatever their family can afford. We started with 25 fee-paying students and 5 needy children, most of them orphans or from the poorest homes in Likoni.

Director Mr. Noah Mweruphe and the team who started the school believed that children from well-off and struggling families should sit in the same classroom, as equals. That is still how we run the place.

“Our goal is that 75% of our learners are fully sponsored, so that the fortunate and the less fortunate are educated together.”

Mr. Noah Mweruphe, Director

Why Choose KES

What Your Child Gets Here

Discipline & Integrity

We hold learners to a high standard of behaviour and honesty, and we follow it up daily rather than only talking about it.

School Transport

A school bus and van service runs daily, so getting your child to and from school is one less thing to arrange.

ICT & Online Research

A computer lab and an Online Research Centre where learners can do their own research and get used to working on a computer.

Science Lab

An equipped science laboratory, so learners actually run experiments instead of only reading about them.

Talent Development

A music room, athletics, Taekwondo and Scouting. Plenty of children find what they are good at outside the classroom.

Guidance & Counselling

A counsellor learners can talk to. Problems at home or with friends affect schoolwork, and we would rather know early.
