Nairobi Waldorf School Trust provides an Kenya-based day school for ages 1 to 18. The curriculum blends the Waldorf Steiner approach with International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) offered at Karen Campus and Pearson BTEC qualifications in Business and Art & Design (Levels 2 and 3). English and Swahili are studied from early years, with French taught in upper years and IB language options including French B, Swahili B, or French Ab Initio. The school educates the head, heart, and hands through Main Lesson blocks and a class-teacher approach that accompanies a cohort from early years through primary. Learning integrates academics with movement and the arts: music and singing in early years, crafts, woodwork, drama, and visual arts in later grades, plus BTEC pathways. Co-curriculars feature swimming, soccer, basketball, and arts. Governance is by the Nairobi Waldorf School Trust, with a Board of Trustees, a Pedagogical Team, and a Management Team.
