Student life in Nairobi
Academic flexibility with real-world community.
Online learning should give families flexibility without asking students to give up sport, friendship, service, travel and shared experiences.
Games & sports
NHS coordinates term-based opportunities with selected and vetted sports clubs, coaches, academies and venues in Nairobi. Activities vary by age, demand, season and confirmed provider availability.
Community programmes
Age-appropriate service and community engagement help learners develop empathy, responsibility, teamwork and a connection to the city in which they live.
Joint family trips
Optional educational and social trips bring parents, teachers and students together for shared experiences outside the virtual classroom.
Family participation
Parents are part of the school community, not just fee payers.
Selected trips, social days and community events are designed to include parents where appropriate, making it easier for internationally mobile families to build relationships in Nairobi.
NHS Scholars Day
Our end-of-programme gathering in Kilimani recognises subject performance, improvement, attendance, consistency and discipline while giving families a chance to meet teachers and one another.
Safeguarded participation
Every activity is planned with consent and supervision in mind.
Specific partners, venues, dates, transport arrangements and costs are communicated after confirmation. Participation in optional physical activities requires the relevant parental consent.
Third-party providers are expected to meet appropriate professional and safeguarding standards. NHS publishes confirmed activity details rather than implying permanent partnerships that are not in place.
