The school was established in 1972 and currently has an enrolment of 650 students, the majority of which are boarders. The school has a mandate to prepare students spiritually, mentally, physically and socially for the joy of service in this world and the world to come. Thus our vision is to be a high class provider of relevant skills based Christian Education.
As a school we have taken interest in the Capital Markets High Schools Quiz competition as we feel it will be a good opportunity for the commercial students to get exposure to the intricacies of capital markets. Investor education is a key part of the economic growth equation and as aspiring leaders and potential investors, we would like the students to be equipped with such knowledge. Participating in such a mind challenging competition will obviously open the learners’ eyes to what the stock exchange has to offer as some of their careers are in line with capital markets. Thus the experience will mean a lot to the learners and the school at large.
