Brief History of Ndururumo High School

Ndururumo High school is located in Laikipia County, Nyahururu Sub County about 2km from Nyahururu town along Nyahururu – Rumuruti road.

The school stands on a 50 acre plot.In 1951 the Dutch settlers built this school to cater for the schooling of their children.  They named it JAN VAN RIEBEECK SCHOOL and it was managed by the Dutch reformed church. During the struggle for independence, the Dutch farmers relocated their families to other countries leaving the school vacant.On 8th March 1963, the school was bought by a group of protestant churches by the name Christian Churches Educational Association (CCEA) and was renamed THOMPSON FALLS HIGH SCHOOL. 

On 12th February 1964, the school was opened to cater for African students.  It was one of the first two co-educational schools in Kenya besides Nakuru High School.  It started with 25 boys and 25 girls and four missionary teachers.he first Principal was MR. SHIMAL GMEIR.  In 1967, the first intake sat for Cambridge School Certificate examination (CSCE). In 1975, the school changed from C.C.E.A Thompson Falls to the current name NDURURUMO HIGH SCHOOL. 

Since then, the school has been a co-education institution with girls and boys learning together.   In 1997, the school management changed the policy of the school so that girls and boys started learning separately with an ultimate aim of having them learn in separate compounds.

Ndururumo High School is committed to quality teaching and learning, co-curricular activities, fostering a self-drive culture that is in tandem with the 8-4-4 goals of education with a view to producing holistic graduates prepared for a life of purpose, service, self reliance and leadership. 

The school is committed to good team work, excellence and professionalism, responsibility and adaptation to change.  In order to realize this commitment, the school management will monitor and review its performance from time to time through consultancy with the ministry’s QUASO office and members of staff.
