Loreto Convent Valley Road is a Catholic day school for girls run by the Loreto Sisters, on Bishop Road at 3rd Ngong Avenue off Valley Road. It began in May 1942 as a temporary primary school for girls too young to join Loreto Convent Msongari, whose buildings were then being used by the British Army. Today it has a pre-school (playgroup, PP1 and PP2), a primary school, a junior school and a secondary school; girls who finish PP2 get priority for Grade 1. The secondary school has long prepared girls for KCSE and is now admitting its first Competency-Based Education senior school classes, with STEM, social sciences and arts and sports pathways. The quiet campus has a chapel, science laboratories and a basketball court, and school life includes Mary Ward Week, sports and art.
