Eutychus academy was founded on 2nd September 2003.The school was initially registered as a non formal school under the ministry of culture and social services. The founders and proprietors of the school are: Patrick Jumah Makhanu, Michael Odhiambo,Thomas Karani and Asatsa Stephen.On the first day the school received a total of 99 students who comprised of form one and two. The total capital the school used was 500 Kenya shillings. This was the fee that the school was charged for the certificate of registration. The school operated on an eighth of an acre piece of land which was rented at Ksh 45 000 per month. Since the founders did not have money to pay the landlord before engaging his premises, they approached the landlord and requested him to allow operation of the school for a month. The landlord agreed to give out the premises which had three rooms. One of the rooms was converted to be an office while the two remaining rooms became classrooms. The landlord who is now late was Mzee John Kimemia. The first Staff Of EutychusThe school lacked basic facilities like chalk board and other writing materials. The first chalk board was donated by one of the parents and it measured about one square metre in area. In the initial days this chalk board was used in alternation between the two classes. The time table was arranged in such a way that the time one class was learning the other class was out for a break or doing discussion. This was to be done for the first week before the school began to buy its resources. For text books each teacher was asked to borrow from friends. Students cleaning the classroomThe four founders were all teachers by profession and none of them shared teaching subjects. This meant that out of the 10 subjects that the school was offering only two subjects required a teacher to be hired. The founders therefore hired one female teacher Mrs Purity Ngila who became the first employee of the school. The staff was therefore full to teach all the subjects and work began. For the hired staff there was no problem of payment because she could receive her first salary at the end of the first month and it was assumed that the school could have stabilized economically.
