About international schools in Nairobi, Kenya
Affordable international schools in Nairobi make up the lower-fee segment of a large and varied market, but they still commonly offer internationally recognised pathways - most frequently the British/Cambridge system, with a smaller number running American, IB or European national curricula. English is the normal medium of instruction and Kiswahili is widely taught as a compulsory or second language; many schools also offer French or other European languages as options. Published fee data for the ‘affordable’ group shows median annual tuition in the lower hundreds of thousands of Kenyan shillings, with individual school charges ranging from very low entry points up to around the mid-million shilling mark depending on age and programme. Admissions procedures are similar to other international schools - an enquiry or application, previous school reports, proof of identity and immunisations, and an age-appropriate assessment or interview - so families usually begin enquiries several months before the intended start date to secure a place.
