A home on seventy-one green acres

Alliance Girls' is a full national boarding school. Girls from every part of Kenya live, learn and grow together in a safe, structured and caring community.

Daily life

Structure that builds character

Life at Alliance follows a steady rhythm — early-morning preparation, assembly on the parade ground, lessons, games and supervised evening study. This structure is part of how Alliance girls learn discipline, independence and the art of living well together.

✓Pastoral care — class teachers, matrons and the chaplaincy look after each girl's wellbeing.
✓Chapel & barazas — worship and the student parliament are central to community life.
✓Co-curricular breadth — music, drama, debate, chess, clubs and a full sports programme.
✓Safe, green campus — a wooded 71-acre site at Kikuyu, 20 km from Nairobi.
