Moi Girls School Nairobi was founded by the Ministry of Education as a Girls’ Day Secondary School in February 1964, in the premises of the former Woodley Primary School.
It was initially intended to cater for children of the many unemployed and low-income bracket people, there having been no such a school in Nairobi before Kenya became independent. The School started as a single stream of 35 girls and two teachers.
The School’s first Headmistress was Mrs. Rebecca Njau and her deputy was Mrs. Edith Matiba. The school’s first Chairman of the Board was the late Rt. Rev. John Gatu.
