Apostolic Carmel Girls’ Senior Secondary School, Nairobi

Apostolic Carmel Girls’ Secondary School, Nairobi is a Catholic institution founded by the Sisters of the Apostolic Carmel to provide holistic education rooted in faith, discipline, and excellence. Since its inauguration in 1996 by the late Blessed Maurice Cardinal Otunga, the school has grown into a respected centre of learning for young women, combining strong academics with spiritual formation and community service.
