 For many years there was a wish to start a girls’ school founded on principles and ethos of Starehe Boys’ Centre founded by the Late Dr. Geoffrey Griffin in 1959. He had a dream of starting sister school to Starehe Boys’ Centre. He began by sponsoring some bright needy girls in the regular secondary schools. Most of them were sisters to the boys at his Centre. Later on some Kenyan women nursed the same idea and joined the Late Dr. Geoffrey Griffin in pursuit of this dream.

 Starehe is a Swahili word meaning relaxation. That feeling of relaxation is what the institution has always thrived to make the girls feel while they are in the school. Starehe Girls' Centre draws its students from all over Kenya. Apart from the academic programme, the school offers training on various life skills such as leadership, life-saving and developing good relationship with all the people in the society. These skills are developed as students participate in co-curricular activities.
