Our story
"Education that prepares a child for a real life, not just an exam."Three decades of Booker
Booker Academy began in 1993 as a school for the children of Mumias Sugar Company employees. Over thirty years it has grown into a full day-and-boarding institution — now open nationally and governed by the Mumias Education Trust.
As Kenya moves fully into the Competency-Based Curriculum, we're doing what we've always done: preparing every learner not just to pass, but to thrive. Our CBC journey runs from Pre-Primary through to Senior School, with three pathways — STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts & Sports Science.
We've taught under the old system. We know the new one. And we've invested in the facilities, staff, and curriculum to deliver both with confidence.
