I am looking for information on schools in Nairobi. I have 3 children in elementary school in the UAE. Looking at a possible move to Nairobi and would love some feedback on schools. Children are currently in an American school. Thoughts or recommendations, please! I have been looking at Braeburn and ISK. Thanks!

Hi,

Braeburn is a very good school, but teach the UK curriculum,

Rosslyn Academy and West Nairobi School are two more schools that teach the american system.

Hi

I'd recommend both ISK and Rosslyn. Both follow the US curriculum, but are quite different in nature. Rosslyn is a Christian school (although they welcome anyone regardless of religion or lack thereof)and cheaper than ISK. ISK is very 'business oriented' and also offer IB program in highschool.

Depending on the personality one may be preferred over other.
They are also close to one another near the UN headquarters
