Dagoretti High School is a public boys' boarding school on the Nairobi-Kikuyu Road in Waithaka, about 16 km from the city centre. Its roots go back to an African independent school started in the area in 1929, later known as Waithaka Independent School; it took its present name in 1961 and admitted its first secondary students in 1962. The Ministry of Education lists it as a C2 senior school. The school is known for its long run of success in traditional dance at the Kenya National Drama Festivals, and clubs include the Students Campaign Against Drugs, St John Ambulance, computer and science clubs. Its motto, Elimu ni Mali, means that education is wealth.
