Kisii School is a prestigious public national boys’ secondary school located in Kisii County, Kenya. Founded in 1934, the school traces its roots back to the establishment of Government African School (GAS) following the Phelps-Stokes Commission Report of 1925. The local native council of South Kavirondo raised the initial funds for the school, which began by offering artisan courses at the Primary School level.
In 1938, the school presented its first candidates for Primary School Examinations, and by 1945, Kisii School had expanded to include a secondary section. This move was the beginning of a long history of academic excellence. In 1962, the school was among the first to introduce “A” Level education, with a single stream of 30 students.
Kisii School was upgraded to national status in 2012, cementing its place among Kenya’s elite secondary schools. It now accommodates over 1,500 students across seven streams, offering a variety of academic and co-curricular activities.
