Abstract : This paper titled “Patristic Education for Achievement of Integrated Good Behavior in Schools: A Case of Mikisa High School in Nairobi, Kenya” has demonstrated the impact of Patristic Education on morals of the students in the school, and hence in Kenya. The objectives include (i) To know the level of morality in the Integrated Good Behavior among students of Mikisa High School in Nairobi, Kenya, (ii) To determine the effect of morality for not achieving Integrated Good Behavior on the students’ academic performance of Mikisa High School in Nairobi, Kenya, and To proffer likely solutions to achieving Integrated Good Behavior among students of Mikisa High School in Nairobi, Kenya, with the hypothesis to know if the school curriculum has any effect on the academic performance of the students, covering Mikisa High School students. Form the total population of the students and members of staff of Two hundred and eighty-six (286), only Twenty (20) participants were chosen using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Using Test scores from the test conducted on English Language and Mathematics, with Structured Questionnaire as data collection tool, the data were analyzed using descriptive method and inferential, involving T-test. Inter-subjectivity theory was used in the study. From the findings, school curriculum and parental influence affect the academic performance of the students adversely, as well as showing low level of morality among them. It is clear from this research work that the students of Mikisa High School generally behave immorally in the parts of Self-discipline, Obedience to school rules, Integrity and Diligence, but better in Punctuality. These factors have adverse effect on their general academic performance. This was supported by Majawa (2020), that immoralities are bound to be experienced when there is lack of Patristic Education for holistic teaching and learning in schools. the school curriculum and parental influence have very significant effect on the students’ academic performance. It is therefore recommended that Patristic Education should be introduced to schools to enable holistic morality among the students.
