St. Aloysius is dedicated to serving AIDS affected youth from Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Kibera is the largest slum in sub-Saharan Africa, with nearly 1 million inhabitants. The lives of our students have been dramatically affected by HIV/AIDS. Our students either have lost both their parents to HIV/AIDS or have lost one parent with the second parent infected.

St. Aloysius is a Catholic school, which serves bright youngsters of all faith backgrounds who are at risk by providing a college preparatory education and support to overcome the deficits of their environment.
Our educational philosophy is based in Ignatian Pedagogy, the educational tradition of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) for over 460 years. We strive to help our students:

  • Discover the richness and diversity of creation and their place in the world
  • Recognize their potential based in their individual uniqueness
  • Realize a personal dream arising from one’s relationship with God, family, society and the world
Become men and women for others, dedicated to bettering society
