History
editMalezi was established in 1989 by Elizabeth and James Odera and began as a nursery school. Since then the school has grown to include primary and high school as well as helping with the formation of its sister school St. Andrews, Kisumu. Malezi has catered to over 5000 students in the last 24 years with alumni landing scholarships to universities such as Vanguard University[2] and Winston-Salem State University[3] The school offers both the 8-4-4 system and more recently the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) system.[1]
Present Day
editIn late 2013 Malezi decided to offer IGCSE in both high school and elementary school. They are also an SAT and TOEFL test center. The school has partially merged with Sadili Oval to form Sadili Africa Talent Training Academy.[4] A talent school that will develop their students various abilities in sports and the Arts.[5]
