Beyond the Boarding School
From Separation as Prestige to Family–Community Formation in Kenya
For generations, boarding school has occupied a powerful place in Kenya’s educational imagination. This timely book asks whether boarding should remain the default aspiration for children and invites families, schools, churches, sponsors, and leaders to imagine a more child-centred future.
It does not call for the abolition of residential education. It proposes quality schools closer to home, stronger families and communities, and safe, relational, family-style residential care for children who genuinely need it.
When does residential schooling help?
When does it replace family support?
What enables children to flourish?

ByGrace as a Living Place of Faith, Education, and Formation
ByGrace is not merely background to this platform. It is one of the places where faith, education, poverty response, family-style care, mentorship, discipleship, tertiary support, skills development, and transition into adulthood have been lived, tested, challenged, and refined.
Children are not experiments. But real lives teach what books alone cannot teach.
