Limuru Girls School History
The school located in Kiambu County was founded in 1922 by Arnold Buttler McDonell to serve his four daughters and others who were interested in learning. Her Governess went on to become the first headmistress of the school while Arnold’s daughter went on to become the first student of the school.
Four years after its establishment, Arnold sold the school together with 60 acres of the farm to the Church Commissioners Society which would later transform the school. In 1936, the Continental Church Society (CCS) and Common Wealth took over the school.
In 1938, the first ‘O’ level students sat for their examination, and in 1952, the first ‘A’ level students sat for their examination. In 1969, the Ministry of Education showed its intention to have the school continue as an interracial school.
In 1974, the government of Kenya took over the school and classified it as a national school and currently, it’s managed by the Board of Management (BoM) but under the sponsorship of ACK church.
