Brookhouse Schools

The school’s mission is to deliver a modern UK education underpinned by traditional values, guided by the motto "Learn to Excel." It follows a holistic educational philosophy, notably through its membership in the Round Square organisation, which emphasises the development of servant leadership, compassion, and humility. The school aims to guide students to explore their individuality and fulfil their ambitions within a secure and supportive environment.

The school follows the UK National Curriculum, catering to students from Kindergarten through to Sixth Form. The Primary division covers up to Year 8, while the High School programme includes IGCSE courses for Years 10 and 11. In the Sixth Form, students may choose between A-level and vocational BTEC pathways. Additional language tuition, PE, and art are integrated into the curriculum to provide a broad-based education.

Brookhouse consistently achieves high academic results, with students regularly securing places at competitive universities globally. The school reports strong performance in IGCSE and A-Level examinations, with a significant percentage of students achieving A* to C grades. Graduates are encouraged to become global citizens with a focus on character development, resilience, and social responsibility.

The school employs a personalised teaching approach to meet the needs of each individual student. Pastoral systems are in place to support student well-being, and the school provides specialist university counselling to guide senior students through their career and higher education goals.

The school welcomes applications for students aged 1 to 18. Prospective families are encouraged to contact the admissions team to arrange a visit or personalised tour at either the Karen or Runda campus. The admissions process involves an enquiry, followed by further details provided by the school.

The academic year is divided into three terms. Term 1 typically runs from early September to mid-December, Term 2 from early January to early April, and Term 3 from late April to late June. Each term includes scheduled half-term breaks and long weekends.

The school operates across two expansive campuses in Nairobi: the Karen campus and the Runda campus. The Karen campus provides premium boarding facilities. The school environment is designed to be spacious and secure, featuring modern learning spaces that incorporate virtual reality and metaverse technology to create interactive, experiential learning ecosystems.

Brookhouse offers a multidisciplinary programme of sports, cultural, and academic activities. As a member of the Round Square network, the school integrates the IDEALS—Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership, and Service—into student life through service learning projects, exchange programmes, and adventurous challenges. Students also participate in major drama productions, environmental conservation ventures, and student-led conferences.
