From the Chief Principal

Welcome to a school built for excellence, character, and purpose.

This is an exciting time to join Merishaw School as we continue to build on our successes and strengthen our position as the Home of the Boy Child and the best boys school in Sub-Saharan Africa. We have achieved the institutionalization of our core values: Men of Valor and Purpose, Empowered Entrepreneurs, Resilience, Innovation, Spirituality, Honesty, Accountability, and a Winning Mentality that transforms our boys to Morans.

We pride ourselves with being much more than the best in academic results, but on being part of a community of learners, both students and staff, pursuing excellence in everything we do.

Principal's welcome

Mr Aringo

Chief Principal

Our state-of-the-art facilities provide access to a wide range of activities designed to enable our students to fully invest themselves in many aspects of modern society. These include Olympic-standard competitive sports, data science and robotics, art, aviation, music, dance, performance arts, and other clubs, with many of our students achieving regional, national, and global success.

Our students are able to gain a variety of experiences, working as apprentices in engineering workshops and agriculture, taking overseas trips to experience different cultures and values, and participating in world scholars programs aimed at raising their aspirations.

These invaluable experiences are specifically aimed at ensuring all students are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding, beyond those attained in the classroom, which best prepares them to win in their life, with increasing confidence and courage.

We support this further with our parent-led mentorship program, aimed at developing our young students' resilience, critical thinking, initiative, reflection, and desire to seek out challenge. These are attributes possessed by the most successful and happy in society.

We are an open, forward-thinking, and outward-facing school that values partnership. We are confident that, by cultivating strategic partnerships where we share best practices and benchmark, we are becoming a centre of excellence that secures the Founder's vision at the heart of this community.
