Our Story

About & History of Pen Elite Primary and Junior School

A journey that began with a shared vision between two educators — and has grown into an institution recognized at national and international levels.

Founding Story

From Humble Beginnings to National Recognition

Pen Elite Primary and Junior School was established by Mr. John Njoroge Kamau and Mrs. Loise Wanjiru Njoroge. Mr. Kamau brought a very wide experience in educational matters, having been a teacher for 31 years, while Mrs. Njoroge contributed expertise from being a school manager for 20 years.

The institution began modestly and has grown to today, achieving recognition at national and international levels through the founders' professional expertise and unwavering commitment to quality education.

The school was created to enable young people to attain three primary goals: quality education acceptable all over the world, a spiritual foundation through reverence for God as the foundation of knowledge and wisdom, and character development emphasizing discipline and moral uprightness.
