Xaverian Primary School

History and operations
The foundation for the school was laid by Rt. Rev. F. Hall, D.D., the Bishop of Kisumu, on 18 September 1955 and was opened by Dr. A. Ressano Garcia (the Consul General for Portugal) on 22 July 1956.

The school attracts students from all social classes in Kisumu and has a reputation for academic excellence. The school's early head teachers and administrators, including Mr. V. Z. Patel, Mrs. Caroline Tado, and Mr. Donald Meda, improved the school's academic performance and attracted talented teachers. The school has three streams, named in Kiswahili after Africa's big cats: "Simba" (a lion) "Chui" (a leopard) and "Duma" (a cheetah). The school's academic success led to the establishment of Xavierian Secondary School to accommodate the graduates of the primary school.
