Makena School - Juja

Makena School is a private educational institution located in Juja, Kiambu County, Kenya. Founded in 1996 by the late Mrs. L.A. Obonyo, an early childhood educator and administrator, the school began as a small kindergarten and has expanded over nearly three decades into a respected institution offering both kindergarten and primary education. The school operates on two campuses in Juja, both following Kenya's Competency Based Education (CBE) national curriculum. Makena Kindergarten serves children aged 2-6 across Playgroup, PP1, and PP2 levels, focusing on early childhood development in a nurturing environment. Makena Junior School provides primary education from Grade 1 to Grade 6, emphasizing holistic development through academics, co-curricular activities, and values-based instruction. The institution maintains its founder's vision of combining academic excellence with moral guidance and character building. Both campuses are situated near JKUAT (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology) and serve families in Juja and surrounding areas. The school describes itself as providing quality, values-based education in a safe and supportive learning environment.
