About Wankan School

Wankan Girls High School is a well-established girls’ secondary school in Kenya, proudly rooted in the legacy of the Wankan Group of Schools, whose journey began in 1992 in Zimmerman, Ruaraka. As the institution grew, the secondary school relocated to Ruiru in 1996, allowing it to expand its educational vision while the original Zimmerman campus continued serving as a primary school. This strong foundation has shaped Wankan Girls into a respected name in girls’ education in Kenya.
