Kipsigis Girls High School is a national girls’ secondary school located in Kericho County. The learning institution started in 1955 as African Girls Boarding School with one stream of classes (5-8).
The total enrollment was one hundred and forty pupils. In 1965, two years after independence, it was elevated to a secondary school, having a total of one hundred and twenty students.
In 1970, an ‘A’ level class was started. The first class, which was purely an Art class, sat their E.A.C.E. in 1971 and was later expanded to two streams.
The Art class did well up to 1986, when the ‘A’ level system was phased out. The 8-4-4 system of education was then introduced, and since then, Kipsigis Girls has been admitting girls at the institution based on performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination until 2023.
However, this was replaced by the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), introduced under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) framework.
