Nairobi Waldorf School – Karen Campus

The Karen campus is the larger of the two campuses of the Nairobi Waldorf School Trust and the one that carries the school through to the end of secondary. Teaching follows Waldorf (Steiner) education, which puts practical work, art, music and outdoor play alongside academic lessons. The kindergarten takes children from about 18 months to six years, with a daily rhythm of baking, painting and free play, and the primary classes run from Grade 1 to Grade 8. In the high school years, Grades 9 to 12, students choose between the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and BTEC vocational qualifications. Festivals such as a flower festival and a Greek Olympics are part of the school year, together with class trips and sports teams. The trust's smaller Lavington campus takes younger pupils only.
