A complete List of international Schools in Kenya

Kenya has a well-established International Sector serving both foreign and local elites. Most of these international schools are located in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru.

For many decades native Kenyans have been perceiving international schools as being for children from other nationalities only and also viewed by most as too expensive.

However, this is no longer the case with the rapidly increasing number of middle-class families in Nairobi. Students of Kenyan Nationality are equal to or greater than those of other nationalities.

Another factor leading to an increase in International Schools in Kenya is the parent’s urge for a stable, consistent, and top-quality education for their children. Since International schools are privately owned, strike auctions and disputes are rare or non-existent on them unlike in National schools where strikes occur and can lead to school closure for up to 2 or more weeks.

Some of the Curricula offered in Kenyan International schools are British, International, French, German, Dutch, American, IB, and Swedish. In addition to that, Religious teachings are incorporated into day-to-day school life in a variety of ways.
