About international schools in Nairobi, Kenya

Christian international schools in Nairobi combine an explicit faith or chapel life with internationally recognised academic programmes: many operate British (Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level) or International Baccalaureate pathways, while some follow North American/AP or American-style curricula, so families can usually find a faith-based school that also prepares students for overseas universities. English is the usual medium of teaching; Kiswahili and European languages such as French are commonly taught as additional languages. Fees vary widely by school and age group - published termly figures for Nairobi international schools range from modest early-years charges in the tens of thousands of Kenyan shillings up to several hundred thousand shillings per term for secondary years, with most schools billing termly and offering sibling or payment-plan options. Admissions are typically handled on a termly cycle (three terms a year) with places secured by application/registration fees, an acceptance deposit and a placement assessment; schools normally ask for identity and health documents such as a passport or birth certificate, recent school reports and immunisation records during enrolment.

FAQs for Kenya

Which curricula do Christian international schools in Nairobi usually offer?
Many faith-based international schools in Nairobi deliver the British curriculum (Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level pathways) or the International Baccalaureate; others follow North American programmes with Advanced Placement (AP) options or an American K - 12 model, so curriculum choice depends on the individual school and the destination universities families are targeting.
What language(s) will my child be taught in, and are local languages taught too?
English is the principal language of instruction across Christian international schools in Nairobi, and most schools include Kiswahili in the programme; many also offer modern foreign languages such as French (and sometimes Spanish) as electives or examination options.
How much should I expect to pay?
Fees vary considerably by school, campus and year group: publicised termly charges for international schools in Nairobi span from lower-cost early years fees in the tens of thousands of Kenyan shillings to several hundred thousand shillings per term for secondary students, so annual costs can range from a few hundred thousand shillings to well over a million depending on the school and grade. Schools generally publish termly schedules, and many charge a non-refundable application/registration fee plus an acceptance deposit to hold a place.
What does the admissions process and timing look like?
Admissions normally begin with an enquiry and application, followed by submission of documents, a readiness or placement assessment and sometimes an interview; places are frequently confirmed only after payment of an acceptance deposit or the first term’s fees. Many international schools operate on a three-term academic year and accept enrolments at the start of a term with occasional mid-term admissions subject to place availability, so families should contact schools early and be prepared to provide passport/birth certificate, recent school reports and immunisation records.
What should parents look for when comparing Christian international schools in Nairobi?
Ask how the school integrates Christian faith with daily life (for example chapel, religious instruction and pastoral care), check which external curriculum and examination programmes are offered, and confirm language provision and university-preparation services. Also compare fee inclusions (meals, transport, exams and extra-curriculars), staff qualifications, safeguarding and admissions conditions so you can judge value and fit for your child rather than relying on reputation alone.
