A GLIMPSE INTO LIFE AT A KENYAN HIGH SCHOOL

6/1/2017

When he finds the time, KOCC Administrator Nelson Ida (center) visits our students at high schools so he can provide them with counseling and encouragement. Here, he is smiling alongside junior Ian (left) and sophomore Cornelius (right).
High school students work very hard in Kenya, especially at boarding school where they are tasked with up to sixteen hours a day of classes and studying.

​The whole experience is considered preparation for a single, comprehensive, three-week examination at the end of high school. Despite this tremendous workload and intense pressure to perform, most students see education as the key to a better life, and they place great value on the opportunity to work hard each day at school. 
​
We are proud of all our high school students' efforts and commend them for their dedication.
