Principal's Message
Sr. Magdalene
Bravo to the Assumption Sisters of Nairobi- Kenya for founding such a fantastic school- ST. MARY’S SCHOOL RUNDA. It is so fulfilling to take part in the formation of teenage girls, in collaboration with their parents and guardians. St. Mary’s School-Runda (SMR) is a unique institution that offers a lot of opportunities to the girl child in their quest to achieve their life dreams. Our main goal being academic excellence, the school goes for very competitive, qualified, motivated and vibrant teachers who are acquainted with the technological changes in the world and psychologically equipped and prepared to deal with young people in an inspiring manner. Our numbers in class rooms are relatively small, enabling individualized attention.
Learners interact freely with teachers in matters academic and social, getting to understand each other well, thus facilitating a friendly teaching and learning process. The same teachers remain in communication with the learners over the school holidays through online platforms for continued learning. We focus at the success and prosperity of ALL our learners despite their country of origin, cultural background, religious affiliation and even entry behavior. SMR strives to add value in the life of our learners academically, spiritually, mentally, psychologically and socially, forming all rounded future leaders in the society.
Our superb facilities create a sense of belonging and provide comfort which psychologically captures the attention of the learners, making them focus on their business in school. The orientation program offered to our new students introduces them to socially becoming members of the SMR family which motivates them to attach themselves to the community for their own personal growth and development as well as the growth of others and the institution at large. Since its institution about ten years ago, the school has been recognized as the best private, catholic sponsored school in the region, offering holistic and integrated education while forming the modern girl child to become an academic giant, disciplined and spiritually molded. All learners are exposed and given the opportunity to participate in both curricular and co-curricular activities ranging from educational trips, science and engineering fair, drama and music festivals, sports and games competitions, charity walks and contributions and many others. We admit learners from all the counties in Kenya as well as other countries like South Sudan, Tanzania, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and others. The school fee is affordable and fair to all and parents get value for their finances.
The school is strategically located along Kiambu Road, visible from the main road between the Northern Bypass and Fourways Total Petrol Station. Its accessibility by all means of transport gives everyone of our customers an opportunity to reach it without struggling. The school environment, classrooms and dormitories are super clean and spacious enough, thus enabling us to comfortably follow the protocols laid down to curb the spread of COVID-19. Our core values inculcated in the life of our learners produce all rounded individuals who add value to the society, both locally and internationally. We give to the society focused, disciplined and resilient citizens, management minded people who are conscious of time as a resource and respectful ladies who value their own life as well as their neighbors’ well-being. We form our learners to be independent minded, hardworking, responsible and God-fearing people who portray leadership skills wherever they go. Spiritual and psychological well-being of our learners is of great necessity, with a chaplain, nuns and counsellors to offer psychosocial and spiritual support. This brings about well- balanced ladies with high self-esteem, confident, motivated and with conflict resolution skills. A lot of issues in their lives are handled individually and group wise thus bringing about a peaceful and well-bonded school community.
SMR has created a strong bond between all the stakeholders including the managers, BOM, staff, parents, the church and the Ministry of Education with each of their input taken with utmost importance. This gives the reason for its exponential growth. All are welcome to team up with us in our strive to transform the society.
