How do I find secondary schools near me in Kenya?

Press use my location in the tool above and allow it when your phone or browser asks. The page lists the closest secondary schools with the distance to each. If you would rather not share your location, choose your county and town instead.

How many secondary schools are in Kenya?

9,354 secondary schools are on the register, and 8,531 of them have a position we trust, which is what the tool measures to. Nairobi County has the most, with 482.

Is my location stored?

No. Your position is sent once, in the request that asks for the list, and the answer comes straight back. We do not save it, log it or send it to analytics.

Why is a school I know missing from the secondary schools list?

823 of the 9,354 have no position we trust, so the tool cannot measure to them, but they still appear on their county and sub-county pages. A school that opened after the Ministry list was made may not be on the register at all. You can add it on the add a school page.

How is the distance worked out?

In a straight line, from your position or from the centre of the town you pick, to the school's recorded position. It is not a road distance, and the road can be much longer.

Does this list show fees or ratings?

No. Fees appear on a school's page only when the school publishes them through its SchoolRegistry profile, and we never estimate them. We publish no ratings we were not given.
