Makini School

About Us

Our Story

Founded in 1978 by the visionary late Dr. Pius Okelo and Dr. Mary Okelo, our school has a rich heritage rooted in excellence and a deep commitment to education. Over the years, we have evolved from a local institution into a dynamic and forward-thinking educational center that nurtures young minds to thrive in an ever-changing world.

In our journey of growth, the school transitioned ownership to the ADvTECH Group, Africa’s leading private education provider, which comprises 25 prestigious brands and over 100 schools and tertiary institutions across South Africa and East Africa. This new chapter has only strengthened our mission, allowing us to continue offering world-class education while embracing innovative teaching practices.

Today, we proudly offer two renowned curricula: the international Cambridge curriculum, which equips learners with a global perspective, and the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) under the Kenya National Curriculum, focusing on practical skills for a dynamic future.

We remain dedicated to Fostering Significant Academic Progress, Developing character, and Inspiring learners to reach their full potential in a supportive and inclusive environment.
