NOUN:
    1. A chosen pursuit; a profession or occupation.
    2. The general course or progression of one's working life or one's professional achievements: an officer with a distinguished career; a teacher in the midst of a long career.
  1. A path or course, as of the sun through the heavens.
  2. Speed: "My hasting days fly on with full career" (John Milton).



Our high School and College Career training is based on the need for students to make the best career choices - based on knowing themselves. This includes the student's values, interests, and skills - in combination with personality traits - which make particular careers suitable and others less appropriate.

Professor Tirima trains students on Critical Thinking, providing tools and strategies for Academic, Educational and Leadership Excellence. This encourages character development and life-skills through personality, learning and aptitude skills analysis.

Our careers preparation is extending to sports careers. This is through partnerships seek to develop a base of student talent that can, in turn, be coached at selected primary and secondary schools. This is part of the Search for a Champion  campaign. The identified sports include Soccer, Rugby, Athletics, Swimming, Hockey, Swimming, Tennis, Golf, Cricket and Karate. We will be holding sports clinics in the school holidays to identify talent in these areas and encourage the sports. Read More

Kenyan University Admission

The Joint Admissions Board (JAB) is mandated to conduct a joint admission exercise into Universities for students that have cleared the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (K.C.S.E.). Those attaining a certain number of points are given priority to join universities under a government sponsorship, with admission done annually. The cut- off points for admission have risen due to the increasing number of candidates who sit for K.C.S.E. Cut off points for the 2010 KCSE candidates was 63 points for male students and 61 points for female students. After the cut off points are announced, the JAB uses the weighted cluster points to select candidates into various courses, a derivative of the overall aggregate points.

The raw cluster points are required to pursue specific courses, and these are the four individual subjects required and deemed most crucial for the study of a particular course.
