The Kenya High School is a public girls' high school located on Mandera Road in the upmarket Kileleshwa Ward and suburb of Dagoretti North Sub-County in Kenya's capital city, Nairobi.
The school, which follows the national curriculum, is one of Kenya's 112 national schools and also one of the 18 prestigious Cluster III secondary schools. Located on a 150-acre campus some six Km from the Central Business District, the institution caters for (as of 2024) 2000 students who attend Forms 1–4 (= US grades 9–12) in seven to eleven streams, at the end of which the students sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. (The student numbers and constitution shall change, once the 8-4-4 System is completely phased out and the three Senior School classes of the CBC System are fully operational. Class of 2027 is the last 8-4-4 cohort.)
Starting in the mid-1990s, the school became a primarily boarding school and accepts day-scholars only on a case-by-case basis. The Kenya High School consistently performs well in national secondary exams, and has enforced a strict code of conduct to be followed by all.
