Starehe Boys Centre history
The school’s humble beginnings trace back to two tin huts donated by Kenya Shell and BP. The first 17 students came from the Kariokor Rescue Centre in Nairobi.

Shortly after, the Centre moved to its current location in Starehe, Nairobi, where it grew from a makeshift rescue home into a full-fledged educational institution.
Starehe Girls Centre was established to complement the work of Starehe Boys driven by the vision and efforts of the late Dr. Geoffrey William Griffin.

At its core, the institution remains grounded in its founding philosophy—providing quality education to boys from disadvantaged backgrounds.
About 70% of the students are educated at no cost, while the rest pay subsidized fees based on their family’s income.
Admission to Starehe Boys is highly competitive. Each year, approximately 20,000 applicants vie for less than 300 spots, with a few additional places reserved for exceptionally needy cases who might not have applied through the usual channels.
Selection is based on a rigorous review of financial need, making it both a merit-based and humanitarian process.
It was also based on performance in the national Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams until 2023, when it was replaced by the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The school is a member of the global Round Square network which emphasizes character development, leadership, service, and internationalism alongside academic excellence.
More than 98% of the school’s graduates proceed to top Kenyan universities, while others earn placements in top institutions abroad, including in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, and South Africa, among other counties.
Notable alumni include former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju, former Education Secretary the late Prof. George Magoha, former Gatanga Member of Parliament Peter Kenneth and Safaricom Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Peter Ndegwa among others.
