What Our Student Say About Us

I quickly realized that MKASS was not just a school. It was also a home and a community. I discovered that everyone, students and teachers alike, was there to learn. In this spirit, mistakes were the fodder for learning. MKASS turned our mistakes and missteps into learning experiences.
DOMINIC ELEMA (LL.B (Hons), UoN), (LL.M (ongoing), UoN), (PGD (ongoing), KSL).
Why I chose leadership at Mount Kenya Academy Senior School is because it offered me a platform to be of service to the students as well as the administration, and also be a voice for the students. Mount Kenya Academy is the place to be, especially if you want to build on your leadership skills
