M-PESA Foundation Academy

The M-PESA Foundation Academy is a cutting-edge co-educational residential high school which aims to nurture future leaders of Kenya and Africa. The Academy is an institution of genuine transformation, where children from the most humble and challenging backgrounds learn that through determination, dedication, and a commitment to gaining knowledge, they can create their destinies and influence the future of others. We develop holistic learners who delve not just into academics but also into technology, sports, outdoor pursuits, community service and the Arts.

The Academy is an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme(IBDP). In addition, the Academy’s Uongozi Centre runs a post-graduation programme that seeks to mentor and support Academy graduates for university and college life both locally and abroad.
