Secondary school education in Kenya usually starts at fourteen years of age and, after the introduction of the 8 4-4 system of education which replaced the 7-4-2-3 system, runs for four years. At the end of the 4th year of secondary school, students take exams intended for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). The KCSE are national exams administered by the National Examinations Council. Nothing lasts forever, the 8 4-4 system has already been scrapped and the country is now slowly picking the new curriculum 3-6-6-3 which is commonly known as CBC
Church and the Authority
Schools in Kenya exist within a strict legal framework,where they may be answerable to the church, the state through local authorities and their stakeholders. Ndagene High is an Extra-County School and a public School. The School is also sponsored by the Presbyterian Church of East Africa. Therefore students grow in a holistic environment which is vital for life after school.

Academics For Life Out Of School
UNESCO believes that in order to prepare young people for life and work in a rapidly changing world, secondary-level education systems need to be re-oriented to impart a broad repertoire of life-skills. These skills should include the key generic competencies, non occupation-specific practical capabilities, ICT, the ability to learn independently, to work in teams, entrepreneurship and civic responsibility. At Ndagene High, that is exactly our endeavor: To prepare sons of men for the world outside the school.
Our Teachers are on the front line to playing a formative role in shaping the future of young men's attitudes and behaviours
