‘’ We are announcing that all issues have been resolved and therefore the school is up and running. We opened at the start of the school calendar this month. You know that we have a very modern school with quality teachers and therefore people must register with us because even our fees are affordable from just MK50, 000. Over the years, we are impressed that most of our students have made it into tertiary level offered by public and private universities,’’ he said.

According to Troughton, the school does not relent at all in offering a conducive learning environment, boasting well-qualified and experienced teachers, a well-furnished library with extensive resources, and a fully-equipped science laboratory.
