St Andrew's Turi Senior School

St Andrew’s School, Turi, is founded on Christian principles and aims to transform the hearts, minds, bodies, and souls of its students. The educational philosophy emphasizes creating independent learners, fostering high academic expectations, and promoting leadership, integrity, and compassion. The school seeks to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared to serve others and lead with vision.

The school offers a comprehensive academic programme leading to IGCSE, AS Level, and A Level qualifications. The curriculum is designed to foster academic excellence while integrating leadership development, such as the two-year Turi Leadership Award for Sixth Form students. The Prep School utilizes the '7 Habits' framework to encourage leadership and personal development from a young age.

The school reports exemplary performance in IGCSE, AS Level, and A Level examinations. Beyond academic results, the institution focuses on developing well-rounded individuals who possess the character, leadership skills, and integrity required to thrive in a changing society. Graduates are prepared to become leaders of influence in Africa and beyond.

The school employs a dedicated Learning Success Centre and staff specialized in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to support student progress. These professionals work alongside classroom teachers to provide necessary academic assistance and pastoral care.

Prospective families are encouraged to visit the school, preferably during term-time or one of the six annual VISO weekends, to see the campus in action. For entry into Year 3 and above, students must complete an academic assessment, which can be conducted online, during a visit, or at a VISO weekend. The school provides transport options for students and maintains a private airstrip on-site for chartered flights.

The school operates on a three-term structure: Easter, Trinity, and Christmas. The academic year includes six VISO weekends, which are designated times for parents to visit the campus, meet with teachers, and attend student performances and sporting events. Half-term breaks are scheduled each term, and the school provides transport to Nakuru and other locations to facilitate student travel.

Located on a 450-acre estate in Molo, the campus includes boarding houses, classrooms, and staff housing. Specialized facilities comprise state-of-the-art sports and arts venues, a riding school with paddocks, a reservoir, and a private airstrip. The grounds also feature forest areas, nature trails, and a low ropes course, all managed within an ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife.

Students are expected to engage in a wide range of co-curricular activities, which are considered as important as academic pursuits. Offerings include sports, music, theatrical performances, and uniformed organisations. The campus features extensive facilities for these activities, including sports pitches, a riding school with paddocks, a low ropes course, and nature trails. Additionally, students participate in service projects, environmental groups, and outdoor education expeditions.
