Education For Success
Shikomari Senior Secondary School is a public mixed day school offering senior secondary education (Grades 10–12) under Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). It’s located in Navakholo Sub-County, Kakamega County in western Kenya.
Shikomari Senior Secondary School was previously known simply as Shikomari Secondary School and has retained its role as an educational institution serving students from across the Navakholo area and beyond.
The school follows the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) for senior secondary education. This means students choose one of several learning pathways based on their interests and strengths. Key pathways include:
This structure is designed to help students prepare not just for exams, but also for future careers and further education by emphasizing practical skills, critical thinking, and real-world application.
As a public school, Shikomari serves as an important educational hub for its community. It caters largely to day students who come from neighbouring areas and families. Being a mixed institution, it supports inclusive education for both boys and girls.
The school’s transition to the senior school system reflects Kenya’s broader shift to CBC, aimed at preparing learners with not only academic knowledge but also competencies valued in the 21st century.
