Nairobi School has defied its critics and proved its doubters wrong by emerging eighth nationally in the 2019 KCSE examination results.
The school's impressive performance is a far cry from last year's dismal showing, where it recorded a paltry three plain A grades.
This year, Nairobi School has seen a significant improvement, with 23 students scoring plain A grades, a testament to the hard work and dedication of the students, teachers, and parents.
According to school principal Caspal Maina, the institution went back to the drawing board after last year's poor performance and sought divine intervention.
"With last year's poor performance, we went back to the drawing board. We went to God and sought his intervention. He assured us that this was going to be our year," said Mr Maina.
The school's vice chair of parents' association, Tabbyrose Wanja, attributed the improvement to a series of programmes, including inspiration to candidates and intense revision, coupled with prayers.
"We also took the candidates to meet with career mentors, who inspired them on what it takes to achieve the best," said Ms Wanja.
Among the students who excelled in the examination are Peter Chege Wanjiru, who scored grade A with 82 points, and Wycliffe Morira, who scored A- of 76 points.
Both students expressed their satisfaction with the results and revealed their plans to pursue higher education in their respective fields.
