The KCPE test is what determines if students will be admitted into high school. The subjects that are tested are Mathematics, English, Swahili, Social Studies, Science and Religious Studies. Each student is able to earn a maximum of 500 points.  

For those with inquiring minds, a score of 250 is passing. The goal we set for our students in our schools, is a score 300 or above. With a score of 350 being excellent and a score of 400 or above to be exemplary. Due to our students and teachers hard work, we will see most students with a score in the 300s with a few over 400.

Please be praying for our students at both Crossroads Academy in Vipingo and New Life Academy in Bomani. They have spent years practicing for this exam, and you can imagine the pressure that might bring. Please pray that God would fill them with peace only He can give, and that the Holy Spirit would help them to recall all of the information they have worked hard to put into memory.
