Founded on Truth and Excellence Since 1932
A Legacy of Excellence Spanning Over 90 Years
Pangani Girls Senior School traces its origins to 1932 when it was founded during the colonial era as the Duchess of Gloucester School, primarily serving the Asian community in Nairobi.
After Kenya's independence in 1963, the school was renamed Pangani Girls Senior School and gradually opened its doors to students of all backgrounds, embracing the spirit of the new nation.
Originally a day school, it transitioned into a full boarding school in 1986 to accommodate a broader student population from across the country.
Pangani Girls steadily built a reputation for academic excellence, leading to its elevation to National School status in 2011, enabling it to admit students from all regions of Kenya.
Today, Pangani Girls Senior School stands as a historic and academically accomplished institution, known for empowering young women through quality education and strong examination outcomes.
Pangani Girls Senior School is a distinguished public national girls' boarding secondary school situated in the Pangani area of Nairobi County, along Juja Road in Starehe Constituency.
