Riara Group of Schools

Braeburn Schools

Terry Childs is the brilliant brain behind Braeburn Schools that recently went ahead and bought Hillcrest International Schools.

 Childs noted that in 1978, the institution had only 78 students and he approached Bill Martin, Peter Moll, Aaron Kandie, Lucas Matu and Ralph Diaper to acquire the institution.

“What we bought was a dilapidated house, a few classrooms and a plot of three and a half acres of land. There was little in the way of books or other resources. There were 20 staff, six of whom were teachers,” recounted Childs, noting that school fees at the time was just Ksh3,000.
