Centum Ltd has partnered in the venture with Sabis Education Network which is headquartered in Beirut with a network of schools in 16 countries including the US, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.
Speaking at the official launch, Sabis International President Carl Bistany confirmed the news and said that the school will equip its learners with world class education. She further pointed out that they have so far enrolled 35 students with the hope of enrolling more in coming months.
“Our model is GSCE and A-level which prepares the students to conquer the world by imparting them with life-long skills. We believe that Kenyan students will have to compete globally, hence the idea of opening a world-class facility in Kenya. We shall prepare them to work and open businesses anywhere in the world,” said Mr Bistany.
Centum Investment Company CEO James Mworia said that the school will eventually have the capacity to accommodate up to 2,000 students.
