Description
Nairobi Academy has been a cornerstone of Karen since 1976, when educationist Frank Bentley founded the school with a vision for world-class learning in the heart of Nairobi. Nearly five decades later, that vision is still very much alive. A co-educational school catering to ages 2 through 19, Nairobi Academy follows the English National Curriculum, taking students through IGCSEs and A-Levels via both Cambridge International Examinations and Edexcel. And for those seeking an even broader global qualification, the school is also an authorised IB World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme with instruction in English and Swahili.

Unique Features
Nairobi Academy's 60-acre Karen campus gives students plenty of room to explore life beyond the classroom. Co-curricular activities range from football, basketball, volleyball, and swimming to more unique options like horse riding, pottery, roller skating, Taekwondo, and dance, and every term students head out on trips to places like the Giraffe Centre and Daphne Sheldrick's Orphanage. The campus has a 25-metre swimming pool on site, and for older students, sports extend to hockey, rugby, tennis, squash, and rounders, with Model United Nations rounding out the academic clubs. Languages on offer include English, Swahili, French, German, and Swedish, catering to the school's diverse, international student body. Boarding is available on campus in a home-style apartment setup, with separate boys' and girls' houses featuring three-bedroom units, gazebos, DSTV lounges, and Wi-Fi — making it one of the more comfortable boarding arrangements among Nairobi's international schools. Specific details on meals and transport are best confirmed directly with the admissions office.
