Our story
Built for families in Athi River
Monark School was founded to give families in Athi River access to a warm, well-structured learning environment where every child is known, supported, and challenged to do their best.
Monark School began with a simple goal: to give families in Athi River a school where children are known, supported, and challenged to excel. From our early years serving young learners, we have grown into a full CBE pathway from Pre-Primary through Junior Secondary (Grade 9), with day and boarding options.
We follow Kenya’s Competency Based Curriculum (CBE), combining strong classroom instruction with co-curricular activities that build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Whether your child is a day scholar or a boarder, our routines and pastoral care are designed to help learners feel safe, settled, and ready to learn.
We partner with parents to raise confident learners with strong values and practical skills for the next stage of life.
