Nyambaria High School is a boys’ public national secondary school located in Nyamira County in a hilly neighborhood known as “London.” The school was founded in 1966 by Seventh-day Adventist Church becoming part of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church’s worldwide educational system.
Unlike other national schools, the school started as a small institution with few dormitories and few classrooms. However, with time Nyambaria High School has grown to become one of the biggest names in Kenya’s education sector both in terms of infrastructure and academics.
From a few classrooms, Nyambaria High School now boasts well-structured classrooms adding up to 21 and 14 dormitories. Currently, their population has expanded to over 2000 students, and following their impressive performances the number of applicants has been rising beyond their capacity.
Just like other national schools for them to keep up the good performance year after year, they have to select the best candidates from primary schools. This makes their admission more competitive and for a parent to secure a place in this school their children have to score high grades in their KCPE Results.
Being a Christian-based church, all students take religion classes each year and Christian teachings are taken seriously in the school premises. The classes they cover include topics in biblical history, Christianity, and denominational doctrines. Tutors start their classes with a word of prayer or a short devotional thought.
The School is among the underrated national secondary schools in Kenya and they rarely rank in the top ten list regularly countrywide but rank in a better position at the County level.
