Why we are the first-choice school for families in Nairobi
As the first international branch of the prestigious Durham School in the UK, we bring over 600 years of academic tradition and values to families in Nairobi – blending British educational standards with an international outlook.
Our small class sizes mean every student is known, supported, and challenged. We nurture curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love of learning – ensuring each child can thrive in their own way.
Beyond academics, students explore sport, music, drama, outdoor learning, and leadership opportunities. We focus on developing well-rounded individuals, not just exam results.
Following the British curriculum, including IGCSEs and A Levels, our students are equipped for leading universities and careers around the world – while staying connected to the powerful Durham alumni network.
At Durham, kindness and respect are at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate diversity and create a safe, welcoming environment where every child feels they belong – and every family is part of the Durham story.
Situated in Rosslyn and Thigiri, our campuses are conveniently accessible for families across Nairobi, while offering a secure and serene environment that allows children to learn, grow, and flourish.
From science labs, art and drama studios to our 25-metre swimming pool and multi-purpose sports courts, our world-class facilities inspire creativity, curiosity, and ambition in every child.
Our highly skilled teachers, drawn from around the globe, bring specialist expertise in delivering the British curriculum. They combine rigorous academic standards with a passion for inspiring young minds to aim high and achieve their best.
We believe world-class education should be accessible. Our fee structure is designed to provide outstanding value, making Durham a smart choice for families seeking academic excellence, breadth of opportunity, and long-term investment in their child’s future.
