Loreto Convent Msongari is an all-girls school in Nairobi’s Lavington area.[1][2] It was founded by the Sisters of Loreto with Catholic traditions in 1921.
The school teaches two curriculums: the Kenyan 8-4-4 (in primary and high school) and the British IGCSE (high school only) curriculums. The high school has boarding and day facilities while the primary school has day schooling only.[3]
In July 2011, an accident on a school trip cost the lives of three students.[4] The school was found guilty of negligence and ordered to pay Sh16.5 million to another student to cover medical expenses.[5]
In 2023, the school has over 2000 students and 60 teachers.[6]
Loreto Convent Valley Road is a primary school for girls which was set up in 1942 for children who were too young for the convent.[3]
