Makena School was established in 1996 by the late Mrs. L.A. Obonyo, a passionate early childhood educator and administrator. Founded with a vision to provide quality, values-based education, the school began as a modest Kindergarten in Juja and has since grown into a respected institution offering both Kindergarten and Primary Education under Kenya’s national curriculum.
For close to three decades, Makena School has remained committed to nurturing young minds through a balance of academic excellence, moral guidance, and co-curricular development. Today, our two distinct campuses continue to serve families in Juja and its surroundings, upholding our founder’s legacy of compassion, discipline, and holistic learning.
Makena School proudly offers Competency Based Education across two vibrant campuses in Juja, Kiambu County. Our campuses are designed to foster curiosity, confidence, and character in a safe, supportive environment near JKUAT.
Our early years campus provides CBE-aligned education for learners aged 2–6, including Playgroup, PP1, and PP2. With nurturing teachers, interactive learning, and child-friendly spaces, we focus on developing confidence, creativity, and a love for learning from the very start.
Our Junior School delivers a holistic primary education from Grade 1 to Grade 6 under Kenya’s Competency-Based Education. Through a blend of academics, co-curricular activities, and values-based instruction, we prepare learners to excel in school and life.
