Founded in 2010 by Mr. and Mrs. Mathu, Ongata Royal Academy (ORA) has grown into a symbol of educational excellence and transformation in our community. With two branches located in Ongata Rongai and Kandisi in Kajiado North, ORA continues to be dedicated to nurturing the full potential of children and families in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Our mission is to promote the holistic development of every child—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring they thrive emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. We aim to provide high-quality education that sets a benchmark for excellence both locally and internationally.
At the heart of ORA's approach is a commitment to nurturing young minds through innovative teaching methods and a supportive environment. Our dedicated professionals are focused on helping each child achieve their fullest potential, fostering a stimulating and caring atmosphere where excellence is the standard.
At ORA, we nurture critical thinkers, innovators, collaborators, problem solvers, and communicators. We equip our learners with essential skills in organization, note-taking, and study techniques to support their development into accomplished students.
Integrity, courage, fortitude, discipline and respect are the hallmarks of ORA. We believe that strong character is crucial for personal growth and success. Our educators emphasize being true to oneself, respecting others, and persevering through challenges. We are committed to instilling values that build admirable character and discipline in our learners.
We prioritize the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and visitors, ensuring a secure environment that promotes effective learning and personal growth.
ORA students are encouraged to inspire and motivate others with integrity and empathy while contributing meaningfully to the school's vision. We offer numerous leadership opportunities through classroom activities, clubs, and school-wide roles. Our supportive environment fosters and inspires students to embrace leadership positions and realize their potential.
Guided by empathy, gratitude, and a passion for helping others, ORA learners understand the importance of service throughout their education. We believe in the transformative power of serving others and encourage learners to engage in acts of service that bring joy and fulfilment, fostering a lifelong commitment to making a positive impact.
Our pillars are anchored in the Christian Faith. We strive to foster a positive and meaningful relationship with God, guiding our learners to live out their faith through action. By modelling expected behaviours, we help students embody the values they learn at ORA, preparing them to be their best selves and serve others in the world.
