Holystar Academy was founded in 2009 with a singular conviction: that the children of Kajiado County deserved an education that honoured both their intellect and their character. What began as a small classroom in Ongata Rongai has grown into a thriving community across two campuses.
Our founders saw a gap — schools that taught the syllabus but overlooked the soul. They imagined an academy where every lesson was an opportunity to build not just knowledge, but integrity, empathy, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are and whose you are.
We exist to nurture confident, compassionate, and future-ready learners through a Christ-centred education that integrates rigorous academics with intentional character formation. Every student who passes through our gates leaves not only prepared for the next stage of their education, but equipped for life.
"Education is never complete
— Holystar Academy Motto
without character."
The quiet strength that turns potential into achievement. We cultivate self-control, consistency, and habits that compound into greatness — one intentional day at a time.
We raise our standard not to compete with others, but to honour the gifts we have been given. The relentless pursuit of one's personal best in everything.
Every lesson, every friendship, and every challenge is shaped to point our students toward a life that matters. We teach not just what to do, but why it matters.
Character is what you do when no one is watching. We build young leaders who are honest, dependable, and courageous enough to stand for what is right.
Empathy is a skill, and kindness is a discipline. Our students learn to see the world through others' eyes, serve their communities, and lead with a generous heart.
Everything we do is rooted in our relationship with Christ. Faith is the lens through which we understand our purpose and our responsibility to one another.
Our main campus, nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Rangau. It offers a serene learning environment with modern classrooms, comfortable residential boarding hostels, sports grounds, and dedicated spaces for arts and STEM — serving day scholars and boarders from Pre-Primary through Junior Secondary.
Our Ongata Rongai campus serves families in the surrounding communities as an active day school, providing a nurturing foundation for our early years and lower primary learners.
At Holystar Academy, we believe that great schools are built by great people. Our leadership team brings together decades of experience in education, child development, and community building — all united by a shared commitment to raising a generation of leaders who will transform their communities and their world.
We invest deeply in our teachers because we know that an inspired educator creates inspired learners. Every member of our staff is carefully chosen not only for their professional excellence, but for their character and their heart for children.
"We don't just teach children. We walk alongside them, believing in who they are becoming — even before they can see it themselves."
