Real Words from
Real Families
Don't take our word for it. Here is what the parents, students, and alumni of NorthGate say about their experience — unscripted and unfiltered.
Three years in and I have watched my daughter transform completely. She is confident, principled, and genuinely excited about learning. I wish I had found this school sooner.
Every single teacher knows my child's name — not just the name on the register. They know his interests, his struggles, what makes him laugh. That is a culture you can't fake.
What I appreciate most is the communication. When there is something happening with my child — positive or challenging — the school tells me immediately. I never feel out of the loop.
My son used to cry every morning before school at his previous school. He now wakes up and asks if it is a school day. That tells you everything about NorthGate.
Two children, two very different personalities — and NorthGate has found a way to nurture both of them individually. That level of attention is extraordinary.
I never thought I was a science person. Then Mr Kamau's lab sessions happened. Now I want to study engineering. NorthGate didn't just teach me — it showed me who I could be.
The drama club changed everything for me. I was so shy in Grade 4. Now I perform in front of the whole school. My mum cried at the last production. I did too, a little.
The coding club is the best part of my week. We actually built a real app. Not a fake one for school — a real one that sends messages to parents. That is insane for Grade 7.
I graduated in 2024 and joined Alliance. My Form 1 teachers have commented on how well-prepared I am — not just academically, but in how I carry myself. That is NorthGate's work.
The values framework is not something you leave behind when you graduate. Accountability and diligence are now just how I operate. I didn't realise how much NorthGate had shaped me until I left.
The fees are reasonable and the value is exceptional. I have visited more expensive schools in Nyeri and none of them gave me the confidence NorthGate gives me every single day.
100% transition rate. I'm living proof. NorthGate prepared me so well that secondary school feels manageable. The study habits, the values, the self-belief — it all came from NorthGate.
“I have sat in many schools across Kenya. NorthGate is different. You can feel the intentionality the moment you walk through the gate.”
— Parent of Grade 6 student, Nyeri
