Since our founding, we've grown into a full CBC pathway school — Junior School, Junior Secondary and Senior School under one roof in Kitengela, Kajiado County.
TheOkello School began as a small Junior School serving families in Kitengela who wanted a nurturing, values-driven alternative close to home. As Kenya transitioned to the Competency-Based Curriculum, we grew alongside our first cohort — adding Junior Secondary and, most recently, Senior School pathways — so a learner who joins us in Pre-Primary can graduate from the very same community they started in.
Today we serve learners from Pre-Primary through Grade 12, guided by teachers who are trained specifically in CBC delivery and assessment, in a campus designed for both focused academic work and active co-curricular life.
To provide a holistic, competency-based learning environment that nurtures every learner's academic, social and moral growth — equipping them with the knowledge, skills and values to thrive in a changing world.
To be a leading centre of academic excellence and character in Kajiado County, producing confident, competent and compassionate learners rooted in their community and ready for the world.
We hold high standards in academics, conduct and craft — and support every learner to reach them.
Honesty and accountability are taught and modelled by staff and learners alike, every day.
School, family and neighbourhood work as one team around every learner's progress.
We embrace CBC's hands-on, project-based approach and modern digital learning tools.
Foundational literacy, numeracy and life skills built through play, inquiry and guided discovery — the base every later stage stands on.
Broader subject exposure, career pathway orientation and mentorship as learners begin discovering their strengths.
Specialised STEM, Arts & Sports Science or Social Science tracks, with active university and TVET placement support.
Started as a Junior School with a handful of classrooms and a promise: every learner would be known by name.
Teaching staff retrained and classrooms redesigned around CBC's hands-on, learner-centred approach.
New laboratories, a digital literacy lab and pathway mentorship introduced for Grade 7–9 learners.
STEM, Arts & Sports Science and Social Science tracks welcome our first Senior School cohort.
Our administration and teaching staff bring decades of combined experience in Kenyan basic education, CBC design and pastoral care. Every department — from Junior School to Senior School — is led by a qualified Head of Department who reports into a single, unified academic office, so standards stay consistent across every stage.
We invest heavily in continuous professional development, ensuring our teachers stay current with KICD curriculum updates, assessment rubrics and modern pedagogy.
