Quality Education from Play Group to Grade 8
Transforming Education in Kuria
Founded in 2015 by Rev Dr Thomas Gesabo Moseti, Gracie's Academy began with just 3 pupils under a tree. Today, we serve over 350 students from Play Group to Grade 8, providing quality education and a nurturing environment.

School Overview
Our Development Journey
From humble beginnings under a tree to a thriving educational institution
Humble Beginnings
The school began with three pupils and one teacher conducting lessons under a tree. Land was allocated by Dad Bishop Samuel Moseti. With support from Sweden Donation (Children Help Group), four classrooms were constructed.
"We started with just a tree for shade and a vision for quality education that would transform our community."
Significant Growth
Donor Lars laid the foundation and supported construction of four additional classrooms. The school expanded further with addition of another classroom, significantly improving the learning environment for our growing student population.
Ongoing Development
More classrooms built to accommodate growing number of students. Expansion efforts continue as we seek support from donors to realize our vision of a fully developed learning institution up to college and university level.

Current Challenges & Needs
Help us address these critical needs to ensure quality education for all students
Security Concerns
The school lacks a perimeter wall, raising serious security concerns. Open access makes it vulnerable to unauthorized entry, theft, or harm to children.
Urgent Need: Perimeter wall for safety
Transportation
Relies on a single old van that frequently breaks down. Many students from distant areas struggle to attend regularly, affecting their education continuity.
Need: Reliable van for student transport
Boarding Facilities
No boarding facilities for students from distant areas. Boarding would provide safe living environment, improve academic performance, and increase enrollment.
Future Plan: Establish boarding section
