Hi Ladies & Gents,

We're a family of 4 with two young children, looking to move to Nairobi in 2015, We haven't done anything like this before so any advice will be gratefully received. More specifically, I am currently researching schooling for the kids. I'd like to find a school offering the British and/or International Primary Curriculum in Nairobi if possible. Can anyone help? As we are volunteers with a registered charity, we are on a tight budget and must raise all our finances ourselves, so tuition fees need to be as minimal as possible. Thank you in advance

Hi? Welcome to nairobi kenya. Its fun to be here, it has amazing people and I can assure your comfort to you and family.
There are a number of Britissh schools though am not sure of the fees. I can inquire for you when you are about to come.
Do you have a place you will prefer to stay?
What special consideration do you have in mind?

Hi there

Nairobi has a number of schools that follow the British curriculum. We also have afew American schools though the fees are higher if compared to most of the British system schools. It would help if you let us know your budget.
