I am in no doubt that those children fortunate enough to be enrolled in a Durham School will benefit from the best possible start in life: with an overall heritage of some 600 years’ experience here in Durham, as well as the very successful Durham School for Girls that opened in Doha in 2019, I am delighted that the opening of Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School will now extend this opportunity to children in Nairobi.

Located in the city suburb of Thigiri, Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School is well placed and enjoys a fabulous site as well as having facilities of the very highest standard. Children will enjoy a range of outdoor spaces as well as spacious classrooms and other specialist teaching areas. Teachers will be passionate about and experienced in all aspects of early years education; the curriculum will be based on the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, and outcomes will ensure children are happy in school, enjoy learning and are developed in the round.

We are wholly committed to supporting Durham International Nursery & Pre-Prep School in Nairobi and as Headmaster here in Durham I look forward to our sister school establishing its reputation as the best possible place for children to begin their educational journey in Nairobi, and so develop their own ‘Confidence for Life’.
