Welcome to St. Elizabeth Girls

A school that understands girls — and helps them thrive

For over nineteen years, the St. Elizabeth family has walked alongside young people as they grow. Our girls' high school in Karen brings that experience to one focused community: a safe boarding home, dedicated teachers, and classes small enough that no girl is ever just a face in the crowd.

We teach the 8-4-4 curriculum from Form 1 to Form 4, with a wide choice of subjects and sound career guidance in every department — and as Kenya moves to the Competency-Based Curriculum, we are ready for CBC Senior School (Grade 10–12). Here, teenagers are met with understanding, and stretched to reach their full potential.

Why families choose us

An education that develops the whole girl

Strong academics are the foundation — but character, confidence and community are what families remember.

🎯

Individual attention

Single-streamed classes of no more than 35 mean teachers know each girl's strengths and gaps — and teach to them. Progress is reported to parents clearly and often.

🏡

A caring boarding home

Well-spaced residential rooms with warm water, good meals and around-the-clock care in a serene, secure environment just off Ngong Road.

🔬

Modern facilities

Science and computer labs, a well-stocked library, a swimming pool and full sports facilities support learning well beyond the classroom.

🧭

Guidance & mentorship

Structured career motivation, guidance and counselling help every girl make sound choices for school, university and life.

🌍

A diverse community

A diverse, international student body and benchmarking with leading national schools broaden every learner's horizons.

🎭

Beyond the classroom

Drama, music, football, netball and volleyball build the confidence, teamwork and leadership that define a St. Elizabeth girl.
