About The Nyambaria School
The Nyambaria School is a Seventh-day Adventist national secondary school located in Nyamira County, Kenya. Founded in 1966, the school has grown from its early beginnings into one of the country's leading national schools, drawing boarders from every county through the Ministry of Education's NEMIS national placement system. Today the school is home to over 2,200 learners across 21 classrooms and 14 boarding dormitories, guided by a teaching staff committed to academic excellence and holistic, faith-centred formation.
Nyambaria's academic reputation was affirmed nationally when the school emerged Kenya One in the 2022 KCSE examinations — the top-ranked secondary school in the country that year. This achievement reflects decades of disciplined teaching, structured learning, and a culture that expects excellence from every learner, regardless of the subject or department they pursue.
Beyond academics, the school offers a full national-school programme spanning boarding and pastoral care, worship and spiritual life, sports and games, and a wide range of clubs and societies. Learners have earned national-level honours in drama, rugby, music, science congress and indoor games, alongside a full sporting calendar that keeps the campus active throughout the term.
As a Seventh-day Adventist institution, Nyambaria weaves Sabbath worship and Christian values into daily school life, while welcoming learners of every background who are placed at the school through the national admission process. The result is a disciplined, well-rounded learning environment that has made Nyambaria a school of choice for families across Kenya.
