History of Mercy Boarding Comprehensive School
Mercy Boarding Comprehensive School was founded in January 1990, initially operating on a rented site near the entrance of Sotik town, along the Kaplong-Kericho road. The school began with a total of 110 pupils distributed across the below levels:
- Baby Class (Kindergarten): 32 pupils
- Nursery (now PP1): 42 pupils
- Introductory (now PP2): 36 pupils
In 2003, the school relocated to its current site after reaching Standard 3 (now Grade 3). Since then, Mercy Boarding Comprehensive School has expanded significantly, now accommodating a total of 820 pupils. This includes students from the Junior School (Grades 7 and 8). By 2025, the school plans to introduce Grade 9.

Message from Directors
FROM THE DIRECTORS: DR. HON.EMILY CHERUIYOT & MR PAULO K.A CHERUIYOT
The idea to start Mercy Boarding Primary (Comprehensive) School was hatched in October 1989. As we sat in our house in Ngoina Tea Estate in one of the evenings discussing about how we could contribute in our community in Sotik division and the neighbouring counties. We finally settled on starting a school, so Mercy Boarding Primary Comprehensive School was conceived and started operations in January 1990.
The School is anchored on three core principles;
- To Provide quality education to the learners
- To instill higher standards of discipline, integrity and Christian values to our learners.
- To become the Centre of Excellence in the region.
Since then, we have endeavored to produce learners who meet the three pillars of our dream.
Our continuous efforts have also been focused on improving the infrastructure and ensuring the highest standards in both teaching and support staff.
