Nembu Girls High School is a public girls’ boarding secondary school in the Waithaka area of Dagoretti, Nairobi County. It began as a community-supported school and developed into an institution focused on girls’ academic and personal development.
School history
The school was established in 1982 as a mixed day community school, associated with the need for additional secondary places in Waithaka. The initial arrangement grew from Nembu Primary School. As it developed, the institution became a girls’ boarding school; later directories list it as an extra-county school, but current placement classifications should always be confirmed.
Motto, vision and mission
The motto is Soaring to Greatness. The school aims to offer quality education that develops learners’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and ability to become self-reliant. Its traditional vision is to become a girls’ high school of choice.
Academics and co-curricular activities
Schooling includes academic subjects, guidance, leadership and opportunities for co-curricular learning. Families should confirm the currently available Grade 10 pathways, subject combinations and boarding arrangements.
Admissions, fees and KCSE
Admission follows the official Ministry of Education placement rules. Confirm a genuine joining letter, reporting date, uniform, boarding items and documents required. Request the approved fee schedule and payment channel from the administration. KCSE results should be checked for specific years instead of relying on undated rankings.
