Gaichanjiru High, a boys’ boarding school in Kandara, Murang’a County, was established by the Catholic Diocese of Nyeri in 1959.

Seating on 15 acres, the school started with the late Rev Fr Victor Deleidi serving as the founding principal. The first cohort of 25 boys largely from Central region were exclusively from Catholic run primary schools.
