Merishaw School has announced a nationwide call inviting parents and boys to its Open Week, scheduled to begin on December 15, 2025.
The week-long event is designed to give families a first-hand experience of the environment, mentorship structures, and future-focused learning model that the institution says sets it apart as a champion of the boy-child.
The school describes the Open Week as an opportunity for visitors to see, feel, and understand what it means to be part of a learning community deliberately crafted for boys aged 13 to 18.
For many parents looking for the right school for their sons, the event comes at a time when concerns about discipline, character development and academic performance continue to shape conversations around boys’ education.
According to Merishaw School, the decision to host an elaborate Open Week is informed by a growing need among parents for schools that go beyond teaching to actively mentor and mould boys into responsible, confident young men.
“Many parents are searching for a school that deeply understands boys,” the institution noted in its announcement. “They want a place where discipline, mentorship, strong values and academic excellence align to prepare their sons for real-world success.”
The school says this concern is not misplaced. Across the country, parents of teenage boys have voiced frustrations about finding a learning institution that balances structure with support, academic rigour with emotional guidance, and discipline with an environment where boys feel understood.
For the boys themselves, the desire is clear: they want to belong to a community that challenges them, supports them, and recognises their unique needs.
It is this gap, Merishaw School says, that its Open Week seeks to address.
Throughout the week, parents and prospective students will be taken through guided tours designed to showcase the school’s culture, facilities, academic programs, and mentorship approach.
They will meet teachers, student leaders, and mentors who work closely with boys to instill discipline, build confidence, and nurture talents.
At the heart of Merishaw School’s identity is a strong belief in mentorship as a tool for transformation.
The school has positioned itself as a space where structured guidance forms part of everyday learning. “Merishaw School is the Home of the Boychild,” the school notes, emphasising that mentorship, leadership training, and character building are embedded in its routines.
During the Open Week, visitors will learn how the school integrates academic work with programs that focus on leadership, self-awareness, discipline and future-readiness.
The institution highlights that its mentorship framework is supported by a disciplined, nurturing environment that allows boys to grow holistically—academically, emotionally, and socially.
Parents attending the whole week event will also hear testimonies of boys who have gone through Merishaw’s system and emerged more focused, responsible, and confident. The school believes such transformation stories will help parents understand the impact of its approach on students’ personal growth.
Alongside mentorship, Merishaw emphasizes its commitment to academic performance. The school says boys flourish when they learn in a safe, structured and supportive environment where teachers understand how to engage them effectively.
According to the institution, this combination of discipline, tailored academic support and emotional guidance contributes to strong academic outcomes.
The Open Week will also highlight Merishaw School’s modern learning facilities, co-curricular programs, and leadership development activities, all aimed at preparing boys for a changing world.
The school frames its model as “future-ready learning,” ensuring boys not only excel in class but also develop life skills that position them for long-term success.
Another key focus of the Open Week will be emotional clarity, addressing parents’ aspirations and boys’ needs. Merishaw School notes that for many families, choosing a school is not only about academic results but also about the emotional well-being of their sons.
Parents want reassurance that their boys will be understood, supported and protected in a disciplined yet nurturing environment. Many boys also crave belonging—a community where they feel seen and valued.
Merishaw School positions itself as one of the few institutions in the country that places the boy-child at the centre of its mission.
Merishaw School is expected to experience expanding admissions for Grade 7–10 and Form 3–4, boosting visibility and reinforcing its reputation as a leading boy-child school in Kenya.
Parents interested in attending the Open Week are encouraged to call 0721 303 303 to book visits or make inquiries about admissions. The event will run from Monday, December 15 to Sunday, December 21, 2025.
As the school prepares to welcome families, its message remains consistent: Merishaw School is a place where boys are guided, mentored and supported to become responsible, well-rounded young men.
And for parents seeking clarity, the Open Week offers the chance to see this transformation process first-hand.
