National schools are considered to be the most prestigious secondary schools in Kenya.
These secondary schools admit learners with special needs from all over Kenya.
Just like other schools, national schools are either single-sex or mixed schools.
Majority of these schools are well equipped with a wide range of learning facilities and magnificent boarding facilities well suited for special needs learners.
This explains why they are highly sought after.
