St. Teresa’s Girls Primary

St. Teresa’s Girls Primary School is a historic public day school located along Juja Road in the Mathare/Starehe area of Nairobi, Kenya. Affiliated with the local government and historically linked to the Catholic Church, the school serves a significant student population, often exceeding 800 pupils, primarily from the surrounding communities. It is recognized for providing a safe and holistic learning environment that emphasizes teamwork and “bettering your best”. Beyond traditional academics, the institution has been noted for its commitment to student welfare, such as offering nutritional support and teaching practical life skills like farming to foster self-reliance. While facing infrastructure challenges common to many urban public schools, it maintains a strong presence in the community and is part of a larger educational complex that includes St. Teresa’s Boys Primary and St. Teresa’s Girls Secondary School.
