a short history

St. John Paul II Senior School (JPSSM) is a Catholic parish school located in Kesses Sub-county, Tulwet Chuiyat Ward, approximately 40 km from Eldoret town. 

 

The school began admitting learners this year and currently has 32 Grade 10 students under the Competency Based Education (CBE) system.

 

As a newly established institution, our mission goes beyond academic excellence—we are committed to offering holistic formation, nurturing our learners to grow into mature men and women of strong values and virtue.

 

Currently, our students are learning in a temporary mabati structure. 

 

We are therefore seeking support to build a permanent and decent structure.

 

As per the project plan, we hope to complete the structure by end of this year to allow our learners to use the classrooms by January 2027.
