British Curriculum International Schools in Nairobi, Kenya

British-curriculum international schools in Nairobi typically deliver an English-medium National Curriculum adapted for an international setting, with Cambridge IGCSEs (age 14 - 16) and A-levels or equivalent options at Sixth Form; some schools also offer vocational routes or the IB Diploma alongside British pathways. English is the language of instruction, while Kiswahili is widely taught as a local language and many schools offer French, Spanish, Mandarin or Arabic as additional languages. Fees vary widely with location and the age of the pupil, but families should expect most British-pathway schools to sit in a broad band roughly between about KES 350,000 and KES 1.5 million per year, with cheaper and more expensive outliers at either end; extras such as registration, capital levies, transport and meals are commonly charged separately. The main intake for British schools is the August/September academic year start, with a smaller January intake and occasional mid-year places, so relocating families should start applications early and plan for documents, assessments and possible EAL support when moving to Nairobi’s school neighbourhoods (Karen, Runda, Lavington, Westlands and nearby suburbs).
