About Bahari Girls

OUR MISSION

“Attain academic excellence through hard work, discipline and integrity.”

HISTORY

Bahari Girls Secondary School is a National Girls Boarding School based in Kilifi County, Kilifi North Constituency. It covers an area of approximately 30 acres of land. It was established in 1991. Dr. Timothy Mtana Lewa the School Patron sought assistance from various friends in order to establish the School. These include among others;

1. Mr. Christopher Wilson, the proprietor of Kilifi Plantation who donated 30 acres of land.
2. The Danish Embassy which put up the Administration block, Library, Kitchen, Dining Hall and a Twin dormitory.
3. The Australian Embassy which helped in putting up the first four classrooms, provided school uniform material and sewing machines.

The School enrolment has grown from the 80 students in 1991 to 700 currently. Our projection is to have 1200 students by the year 2020.

The School has been improving academically. In 1994, the school means score was 3.00 and in 2015 we had a mean score of 7.00.

With the elevation of the school to the National status in 2014, the Ministry of Education allocated sh. 25 million for putting up four (4) classrooms and one dormitory. These are almost complete.

Parents have also tried to improve the Infrastructure of the school. Currently they are putting up one dormitory to ease the serious congestion we are experiencing in our dormitories.
