Welcome

Welcome to ST MARY'S CHRISTA SCHOOL

Founded in 2023 in the heart of Siaya Township, ST MARY'S CHRISTA SCHOOL was started with one conviction: every child carries a unique potential that deserves to be discovered, nurtured and celebrated.

Our motto — Moulding Excellence — shapes everything we do. Through Kenya's Competency-Based Education (CBE), our learners don't just memorise; they explore, create, collaborate and apply what they learn to real life. From our youngest Playgroup learners to our growing Junior and Senior School, we combine strong academics with character formation, talent development and the warm partnership of parents.
