Starehe Girls Centre

Award-Winning Music Program: The centre is renowned for its outstanding choir and music department. They are frequent champions at national music festivals, often sweeping categories with their powerful performances. This isn't just an extracurricular; it's a core part of their identity and a point of immense pride.

Leadership Factory: True to its Starehe heritage, the school is designed to produce leaders. Its alumni, known as "Old Starehians," are already making marks as top engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and influential professionals in Kenya and abroad, creating a powerful and supportive network.

The "Sister School" Success Story: It's the highly successful younger sister of the legendary Starehe Boys Centre. Founded decades later, it successfully translated the famous Starehe ethos, of discipline, service and opportunity, into a powerful model for empowering young women.

More Than a School, a Sanctuary: The campus is located on a 48-acre, serene property in Kiambu, providing a beautiful and secure environment away from the city's distractions. It's not just a school; it's a holistic community where girls live, learn, and grow together.

The Student Code: Students live by a unique code known as "Utu na Umaki," which translates to "Human Dignity and Readiness." This isn't just a motto; it's a lived philosophy that shapes their character, emphasizing integrity, service, and always being prepared to lead and help others.

A Culture of Self-Reliance: In the spirit of its founder, Dr. Griffin, students participate in daily routines that instill discipline and self-reliance, including aspects of self-governance and maintaining their environment, building a strong sense of responsibility and community.
