Moi Forces Academy is a Kenyan boy's national secondary school located in Kamukunji Constituency, Nairobi county, Kenya. It is also among the 18 pioneer Cluster 3 national schools in Kenya.[1] [2]
Moi Forces Academy (MFA) is a national public school for boys established in 1980 by the second president of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Daniel T. arap Moi CGH. Initially, the academy was born out of a request by the Moi Air Base nursery school children that the former president builds them a school to avoid travelling long distances to access primary schools.[3]
The school was founded in the 80s as a Centre of excellence for the children of the Armed Forces. Former Kenyan President, Daniel arap Moi was instrumental in establishing the school, conducting the first Harambee fund raising for the construction of the school. Phase one of the school was constructed at a cost of Ksh. 7 million by Danny Construction Company. The Primary Division of the academy opened with standard one pupils on 11 February 1980. This was followed by the admission of Form ones on 18 February 1980 and that of Form five on 6 May 1980. It stands on 56 Hectares of land donated by the Kenya Air Force, Moi Air Base. In 1989, the academy phased out the three streams of Form 5 and 6 with the full implementation of the 8.4.4 system of education.The school begun as a mixed boarding secondary. In 1990, the secondary division became a fully boys' secondary school with the transfer of girls to Moi Lanet.[4]
The school accepts bright students from both the Armed Forces and Civilian population.[5] [6] [7] The school is also one of the few secondary schools in Kenya that offer aviation studies.[8] [9]
