Our Story
A legacy of excellence spanning over five decades
Founded on Hope
Muguku Tumaini School – Redhill was founded in 1969 as Green Acres School, offering the British curriculum. Set in the lush and serene Redhill area in Limuru, 21km from Nairobi, our school has been a beacon of educational excellence for over five decades.
In 2007, Mr. Nelson Muguku, a former teacher and leading poultry farmer, took over the school's ownership and renamed it Muguku Tumaini Schools – Redhill. Founded on very strong religious principles, the school now offers both the 8.4.4 and CBE systems of education.
Tumaini is the Swahili word for HOPE. As our name suggests, we aim to lay a firm foundation for a meaningful future for our students and give them hope in life through quality and affordable education.
"To be a centre of academic excellence in Africa"
