About Loreto Convent Valley Road
Loreto Convent Valley Road is a private educational institution located along Bishop Road, 3rd Ngong Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya, next to the Fairview Hotel. Founded in May 1942 as a temporary primary school to accommodate young pupils while Loreto Convent Msongari was evacuated, it has grown into a comprehensive school offering education from kindergarten through secondary levels. The school is situated in a serene environment away from the city center's hustle, providing a quiet, conducive atmosphere for learning with state-of-the-art facilities. It operates as a day school for girls, following the Kenyan 8-4-4 curriculum, and emphasizes holistic education. The institution includes kindergarten (Play Group, PP1, PP2), primary school (Grades 1-6, divided into lower and upper sections), junior secondary, and secondary school, with plans to introduce senior school (Grade 10) in January 2026, offering pathways in STEM, arts and sports, and social sciences. The school community engages in religious activities such as masses, baptisms, and first holy communions, alongside academic and extracurricular events like sports days, swimming galas, and prize-giving ceremonies.
