About Cavina School
Founded in 1950, Cavina is the second oldest international-curriculum school in Kenya. We pride ourselves on a traditional, Christian education in an intimate, family environment. Pupils are encouraged to express themselves and to pursue their dreams but always within a disciplined atmosphere where respect for rules and for other people is vigorously fostered.
