Moi High School Kabarak is a co-educational boarding school located in Kabarak, Nakuru County. It was established in 1979 by the late former President Daniel arap Moi and named after his nearby Kabarak farm.
The school was initially founded with the vision of providing affordable, high-quality education to Kenyan children and preparing them for college and life.
It began with a small student population and a modest number of teachers, but over the years, its reputation grew, making it one of the most highly regarded schools in the country.
In the 1990s, the school expanded by introducing a primary section, followed later by a kindergarten.
Moi High School Kabarak history
The primary school has since become a feeder institution for the high school.
A significant transition occurred in 2002 following President Moi’s retirement from politics.
The management of the school was handed over to a board of governors, and the institution began registering students directly with the Ministry of Education—marking its shift from a privately managed entity to one operating under the national education system.
Today, Moi High School Kabarak has a student population of over 2,000, comprising both boys and girls.
It offers a broad range of academic programs and is also known for its vibrant extracurricular offerings, including sports, music, and drama.
