How do they describe their senior school? We are a unique community, offering a mixed-race, truly Christian boarding education of the highest quality following the British curriculum.
For all our Turi students, the measure of the quality of their St Andrew’s education will lie not just in the strength of the examination results, but in the values, friendships, and attitudes that last for many more years than any understanding of the nuances of trigonometry.
Note: They even have time to play card, if you tried that in our school days, straight away, you are branded spoilt.

In the early hours of a night in 1987, one of Africa’s youngest leaders, President Thomas Sankara, was murdered and quietly and quickly buried in a shallow grave.

THE FALLEN GRACE - WITNESSED

Let me tell you something about God's grace.  Ever wondered why some mighty preachers, gospel artists, motivation speakers, etc., who used to run the airwaves, no longer do so? Ever wondered why a gospel artist, who would step on a stage and the masses go crazy can longer even attract 1000 views for their really good music?  Even wondered why your favorite motivational speakers literary receive no attention like they used to? And that preacher who would literary command the whole nation to touch radio for prayers and a huge % of households would follow - can no longer even attract the same?
