The Crane Academy - Kenya

Since 2006, The Royal High School Bath has been proud to support The Crane Academy — a remarkable, community-funded school in Kenya that transforms the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. What began with the sponsorship of just one student has blossomed into a longstanding partnership that now supports 13 students, thanks to the generosity of our school community.

Located in Kitale, Kenya, The Crane Academy provides education to children aged 2 to 17, nurturing young learners from Early Years (ages 2–6), through Primary (ages 7–11), and on to Secondary Junior classes (ages 12–17). The school now aims to expand by creating a Secondary Senior section to accommodate older students from next year — a vital step in allowing more children to complete their education in a supportive environment.
