Education and Schools in Nairobi

Here is the other article, I think you might be interested. Not sure if I mentioned earlier in my blog, I have two kids who are now 7 and 3, and because of that I can comment about most of these schools, there are two in the list attended by my 7yrs old girl, and through my 3yrs old son I got some ideas about early years as well. So again, feel free to drop an email or comment.

International Schools in Nairobi                                                                                      

---

Nairobi is home to a diverse mix of expats and as such has a wide range of international schools to serve the needs of the city's large expat population. There are international schools in Nairobi which follow the national curriculums of the UK, USA, Sweden, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and France.

Expats who want their children's education to incorporate some religious teachings will find that there are a number of Christian international schools in Nairobi as well.

Here is a list of the most popular international schools in Nairobi. Be aware that most of the schools are oversubscribed and operate using waiting lists for admissions. Expat parents are therefore advised to apply well in advance to secure their child a position at their desired school.
