Brookhouse School Karen is proud to serve the professional, business and diplomatic communities in Runda and Karen, Nairobi. Our reputed independent institution offers a wide range of subject choices, small class sizes, experienced, committed teachers and a multidisciplinary programme of additional sports, cultural and academic activities.
Brookhouse School Karen aims to prepare our learning community for a fast-changing world. Our School cultivates an integrated, holistic setting that encourages the transfer of skills across multiple subjects. In daily learning, cross-curriculum referencing expands understanding and ensures education remains relevant and memorable to adequately train students for future study.
Our 40-year experience shows that long-lasting knowledge is effectively gained through an enjoyable process of discovery, which is why our passionate educators reach teaching objectives by bringing the syllabus to life.
Teaching staff organise regular excursions to places of historical and cultural significance, design exciting practical STEAM lessons, and invite guest speakers to assemblies. They also employ experiential techniques, such as role-play and drama, to demonstrate key concepts.
Modern High School Education
Our modern High School education is broad-based and inclusive of additional language tuition, PE and art, preparing children in Years 9 to 11 with wide-ranging subject knowledge. Year 9 study follows a framework similar to the UK National Curriculum, while Years 10 and 11 are taught the Cambridge-accredited IGCSE programme.
The Sixth Form division is inclusive and accepts new students and former Brookhouse attendees. 16-year-olds may tailor their course subjects to meet their needs and choose between two curriculum pathways, each lasting 2 years – the A-level course and the vocational BTEC course.
