Welcome

Welcome to Braeburn Nanyuki International School.

There is something truly special about our school. Whether it is our incredible setting at the foot of Mount Kenya, the unique ‘Nanyuki spirit’ seen in the bare feet and bold ‘can-do’ attitude of our children, or our dedicated staff team committed to helping every child thrive, you will feel an unmistakable energy the moment you walk through our gates.

From our youngest learners through to Year 8, we provide a broad education that balances academic curiosity with rich opportunities beyond the classroom. Whether on the sports field, in the arts, or exploring the outdoors, our children are encouraged to discover their individual strengths and push their personal boundaries. Above all, we protect the joy of childhood, giving children the space, freedom and encouragement to learn naturally, build resilience and flourish at their own pace.

The belief that each child’s happiness is central to their ability to learn and develop is one that we all share at Braeburn Nanyuki. Just as Mount Kenya rises from a strong and steady base, the exceptional quality of our pastoral care provides the firm foundation from which our children build confidence, explore their talents and reach their own individual summits.

I hope our website gives you a sense of life at our school. However, nothing compares to experiencing it first-hand. I warmly invite you to visit us, meet our staff and children, and feel for yourself the friendly, supportive community that makes Braeburn Nanyuki such a special place for children and families alike.

About Us

Welcome to Braeburn Nanyuki. Our co-educational, multicultural school teaches children aged 2 to 13 years, using an international version of the National Curriculum of England. We believe each child has a unique personality, talent, and learning style.

We aim to develop children with active, creative, and sustainable mindsets, who possess understanding and compassion for others, and have the courage to act on their beliefs. Children are encouraged to be independent learners, taking responsibility for their achievements to reach their full potential.

Curricula

Early Years

The Early Years Unit welcomes children aged 2 to 5 years. We offer a secure, settled, and friendly environment with experienced, specialised teachers, who provide the attention and support each child needs.

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. Through carefully structured and themed lessons, our youngest children are given the time and space to learn through fun and exciting experiences.
