What began with just 7 eager learners and 3 passionate teachers has flourished into a dynamic institution known for academic distinction, strong values and holistic education.

MESSEGE FROM PRINCIPAL Peter Mbugua

Since 1988, Gacio Junior Academy has been a trusted pillar of quality education, producing learners who excel both academically and in life. Over the years, we have consistently gone beyond the education guidelines, ensuring our learners surpass expected outcomes while nurturing discipline, character, and creativity.

Our success story is a result of teamwork across all departments, each playing a vital role in shaping a holistic education experience:

From the Management:

Our leadership team provides vision, stability, and continuous innovation. With firm commitment, we ensure that the school remains true to its founding mission while embracing the evolving needs of modern education.

Academic Department:

Excellence in teaching and learning defines us. Our experienced and passionate teachers deliver learner-centered lessons, integrating modern approaches and ensuring mastery of concepts. Academic success at Gacio is not just about high performance — it’s about unlocking potential and cultivating a love for knowledge.

Guidance and Counseling:

We recognize that every learner is unique. Our counseling team walks with each child, nurturing emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness to ensure well-rounded growth.

Co-Curricular Department:

Education at Gacio extends beyond the classroom. Through sports, music, drama, arts, clubs, and innovation projects, learners develop confidence, creativity, and teamwork — essential life skills for today and tomorrow.

Spiritual and Moral Nurturing:

Grounded in strong values, we cultivate respect, integrity, and responsibility. We believe in building not only bright learners but also upright citizens.

Support and Operations Team:

Behind the scenes, our dedicated non-teaching staff, from administration to security, transport, and catering, ensure a safe, clean, and conducive environment where learners can thrive.

As the Principal of Gacio Junior Academy, having served this institution with pride and gratitude, I can affirm that this is more than just a school — it is a family where every learner is known, valued, and guided to greatness.

We warmly welcome you to join our journey of excellence and be part of the legacy that has transformed lives since 1988.

Gacio Junior Academy — Shaping Minds. Building Futures. Transforming Lives.
