Kahawa Garrison Primary School is a prominent public, mixed-gender day school situated within the secure confines of the Kahawa Barracks along the busy Thika Road in Nairobi, Kenya. Managed by the central government’s District Education Board, the institution serves a large and diverse student population of approximately 1,262 pupils across 24 classrooms, operating with a pupil-to-classroom ratio of roughly 52:1. The school is deeply integrated with the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) community, and while open to the public, priority for admission is typically extended to the children of military personnel.
A notable aspect of the school’s current development is an ongoing, significant refurbishment of a dedicated special needs education unit, a project championed by the Military Wives Association of Kenya (MWAK) in partnership with the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE) to provide essential therapy and specialized learning environments for children with disabilities.
