Our History

Whats our story

Our humble beginnings

Cornerstone Schools was established in 2014 with a deep commitment to serving the children of the Kakuma Refugee Camp and the local host community. The school was founded by Cornerstone Church as part of its mission to provide hope and opportunity to those in need. Many children in these communities face significant challenges, from poverty to displacement, and access to education is often limited. Cornerstone Schools was created to address this need, offering a high-quality education in a safe and supportive environment.

Since our founding, we have grown into a well-respected institution that serves students from diverse backgrounds. Our school is proud to continue its work in providing exceptional education, helping children realize their potential and pursue their dreams.

What makes us unique

  • Christian Foundation: We believe that faith and education go hand in hand. Our school is rooted in Christian values, and we provide spiritual guidance as part of our holistic approach to education.
  • Holistic Education: We strive to foster academic excellence, physical health, and emotional well-being. In addition to our rigorous academic programs, we offer a wide range of co-curricular activities that promote creativity, teamwork, and leadership.
  • Community Engagement: We are proud to be a school that is deeply connected to the community. From the children of the Kakuma Refugee Camp to the local host community, we serve families from all walks of life.
