The school was started in the year 2007 when the parents implemented the long-awaited project. The school was initially hosted by Keriko Primary School before they constructed their premises on the ground set aside for them by the primary school committee.
The main objective of starting the school was to offer education cheaply to a large number of school leavers from Keriko, Sinendet, Naishi, Ndemi, and other primary schools who are unable to access education due to the escalating poverty in the area.
The main catchment of the school Keriko Primary produces over 100 KCPE candidates annually. Most of them end up in the village due to a lack of school fees. This, therefore, was an effort toward poverty alleviation.
Knowledge is power
Keriko will strive to be a centre of academic excellence and youth development
Keriko's vision is to provide quality and Holistic Education founded on strong principles of discipline, character formation and leadership development
The school has become a leader not just in the county, region and National but also at the International level. We have won at the national level in two consecutive years in chemistry and mathematics. We also participated in the NACOSTI (National Council of Science, Technology and Innovation) week at KICC Nairobi where we emerged winners in the mathematical science category. Two students were invited to participate in an international science fair ITEL, ISEF in the USA in May 2019 where their project won the top United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Award.
One of the teachers won the 2019 global teacher prize. This made history as he is the first teacher from Africa to ever win the coveted prize. This is a great milestone not only for our school but for Kenya and Africa at large.
