● About the school

A Way of Life

More than a motto — a promise about how we teach, care for and raise every girl in our community.

Our story

Nineteen years of knowing young people well

St. Elizabeth Girls High School is a private girls' boarding school set in the serene, leafy surroundings of Karen — about a kilometre from Karen shopping centre, on Tree Lane off Ngong Road, reached by an all-weather road.

We are part of the wider St. Elizabeth Academy, a family of schools with more than nineteen years of experience teaching boys and girls. That long experience is the quiet strength behind everything we do: we understand the challenges teenagers face in a fast-changing world, and we meet them with structure, warmth and high expectations.

Our campus pairs a positive learning environment with modern facilities — and keeps classes small so every girl is seen, supported and stretched.
