JANE KARUGI,
Director.
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.

What Students Saying
Awesome skill forced to move twice within five years, our customers had a hard time finding us and our sales plummeted. The Lorem Ipsum Co. not only revitalized our brand, but saved our nearly 100-year-old family business from the brink of ruin by optimizing our website for SEO.
Professional, responsive, and able to keep up with ever-changing demand and tight deadlines: That’s how I would describe Jeramy and his team at The Lorem Ipsum Company. When it comes to content marketing, you’ll definitely get the 5-star treatment from the Lorem Ipsum Company!
I was skeptical of SEO and content marketing at first, but the Lorem Ipsum Company not only proved itself speaking, but the response I have received from customers is incredible. The work is top-notch and I consistently outrank all my competitors on Google.
