Malezi School is a private educational institution based in Nairobi, Kenya.[1]
History
Malezi was established in 1989 by Elizabeth and James Odera and began as a nursery school.[2] Since then the school has grown to include primary and high school as well as helping with the formation of its sister school St. Andrews, Kisumu. Malezi has catered to over 5000 students in the last 24 years with alumni landing scholarships to Universities such as Harvard and Stanford. The school offers both the 8-4-4 system and more recently the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) system.[1]
Present Day
In late 2013 the school merged with Sadili Oval to form Sadili Africa Talent Training Academy.[3]
Sports
Malezi is well known for two sports in Kenya: tennis and basketball. The school's basketball team, known as the Hawks, was formed in 2009 and in 2013 made it to the provincial semi-finals.[4]
