Who owns St Andrew's Turi?
It was founded by Peter and Jean Lavers in 1931. The initial enrollment was 15 local children. The founders combined their skills to set up and run the school successfully, with Mr Lavers mainly taking on administrative duties and Mrs Lavers focusing on the students' academic and pastoral needs.
The couple felt that their work was in direct obedience to God's calling to build a Christian school, hence the strong emphasis on Christian love and care in the running of the school to date.
Over the years, it has grown to become one of the leading international schools in the region that caters to over 600 students.
Today, it is a large and successful boarding school providing a first-class education to children aged between three and 18 years from East Africa and beyond.
St Andrew's Turi comprises two schools- a preparatory school for pupils between the ages of three and 13 and a senior or high school for students between the ages of 13 and 18. The school added a college to prepare students for university in 2010.
