Individual online or in-person lessons can be arranged by subject, curriculum, learner level and schedule.

The six-week CBE programme helps learners maintain momentum, recover learning gaps and use part of the long holiday productively without turning it into another full school day.

Structure without tying learning to one daily commute.
Nairobi families often choose online schooling because of relocation, travel, long commutes, changing school places, demanding sports schedules or the need for a smaller academic setting. NHS keeps the academic day organised while allowing learning to happen from home.

Frequently asked questions
Homeschooling in Nairobi with NHS.
Does NHS provide homeschooling in Nairobi only?
No. NHS is based in Nairobi, but live online programmes are available to learners across Kenya and internationally. In-person tuition depends on teacher availability and the learner's location.
Which Cambridge levels are available?
NHS currently supports Cambridge learners from Year 7 through Year 13, including Lower Secondary, IGCSE, AS Level and A Level pathways.
Are the lessons live or recorded?
Core teaching is delivered through live lessons. Recordings and digital resources may support catch-up and revision, but they are not a substitute for regular participation in live teaching.
Can a learner move back to a physical school later?
NHS maintains attendance, assessment, syllabus-coverage and progress records that can support an orderly transition. Final placement and credit recognition remain the decision of the receiving school.
How are Cambridge examinations handled?
NHS supports examination-entry planning and readiness. Final examinations are taken through British Council Kenya or another approved examination centre depending on candidate status, subjects and available arrangements.
