The Nairobi Waldorf School Trust is a private, international school. It is governed by three groups – the Board of Trustees, the Pedagogical Team, and the Management Team. The Board of Trustees is made up of a balanced representation of faculty, administration, parents, and respected members of the community; board members are elected by the school community at the Annual General Meeting and oversee legal, financial, and administrative governance and policy development. The Pedagogical Team maintains the quality, depth, and professionalism of teaching at the school and creates an environment where teachers can nurture, protect, and support students so that they can fully experience their own individuality and success.
The school emphasizes a strong community with connections between students, staff, and parents. The Kolisko Group provides learning support and students may receive an Individual Education Plan (IEP) with support from educators and families. The school is non-sectarian and welcomes families from diverse religions and cultural backgrounds; spirituality is respected but not tied to any single religion. Waldorf aesthetics and the environment emphasize natural materials, seasonal rhythms, and ceremonies and celebrations in classrooms.
Pedagogical Team maintains teaching quality, depth, and professionalism and creates an environment in which teachers can nurture and support students to express their individuality and achieve success.
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.
