History
Founded in the year 2000 by the late Mrs. Mary W. Mburu, the School started from humble beginnings as a Christian private school, mixed day and boarding with 19 pupils i.e. 18 in primary section and 1 in kindergarten section. The pioneer class did their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in the year 2002 and scored a mean grade of 362. The school progressed in size and performance for example in 2006 the school mean grade shot to 370 with the first candidate being 2nd in the former central region.
JSPS has consistently produced the top candidates in Thika West every year in national examinations. This is a manifestation of the quality of teaching staff, a dedicated administration and the exceptional pupils joining the school each year. The school offers the 8-4- 4 curriculum which emphasizes on a holistic preparation of a pupil.
To-date the school has moved a niche higher due to success and demand; we have expanded opportunities to have a full-fledged kindergarten solely running by itself separate from the primary section.

Word from the Principal
Juja St. Peter’s School is simply an experience; It is beyond the normal school routine. It comprises a blend of Christian living, academic excellence and great programs that form our extra-curricular activities.
The school endevours to enhance a child’s learning experience that is unrivalled in this region. we inculcate a strong study culture, nurture the children’s talents to help them discover their uniqueness and grow to make impact, with their contributions to the nation.
As Hellen Keller puts it, “A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers”. The JSPS team invokes an experiential mode of content delivery to develop confident curious minds who develop strong self worth which eases free interactions.
Our parents take it upon themselves to enforce the culture instilled at school. It is not uncommon for a JSPS pupil or alumni to stand out in a crowd in forums, other institutions, places of worship, estates and even internationally.
Our culture is simple, develop a love for learning while still retaining the innocence of being a child, compete fairly and practice good sportsmanship. This spans in all areas of our operations.
We are proud of our time-tested product. Indeed, JSPS is an experience beyond normal schooling.
