We are glad to report good news from JAMS as Kenya continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions caused to the economy.

The 165 girls at JAMS completed the pandemic-delayed 2021 School Year in March. The 2022 School Year will begin in late April and finish in December 2022. The JAMS principal, founders, and select advisors are now reviewing applications for admission and scholarships for the Class of 2025.

The Class of 2021 completed their national graduation exams (the KCSE—Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education) in March. We eagerly await the results for these 36 ambitious young women. Since 2014, when the first class graduated, JAMS has maintained a 100% graduation rate and 70% of students have qualified for higher education compared to 35% nationally.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the construction of on-campus teacher housing has been completed. JAMS now has six two-bedroom duplexes and four one-bedroom apartments for teachers and their families. This housing helps JAMS attract and retain high-quality teachers.

Many thanks to all who have supported JAMS during the past two difficult years and have made this success possible!
