Pembroke teaches English, French, Kiswahili and Latin. The English syllabus covers literature, language and writing, with reading encouraged in the library and at rest times. Kiswahili is taught to all pupils, with native speakers supporting international learners. French emphasizes grammar, speaking and listening and is complemented by optional trips to France, while Latin introduces a classical language to strengthen linguistic skills and cultural understanding.
Pembroke House School is a co‑educational British‑curriculum prep school in Kenya offering day and boarding for pupils from six months to 13 years. It follows the British National Curriculum in Pre‑Prep, Junior and Middle School, adapting content to reflect East African heritage and setting; core subjects include English, Kiswahili, French and Kenyan History, with Adventure Learning, STEAM and Design Technology. In Years 7 and 8, many subjects follow the British Common Entrance framework to prepare for exams in Year 8. The 140‑acre Rift Valley campus supports outdoor learning and practical exploration across sporting, creative and academic disciplines. Founded in 1927, the school became co‑educational in 1988 and Pre‑Prep was introduced in 2008. The Pembroke House Foundation funds major facilities, including a music school, theatre and café, as well as two full‑size tennis courts. A dedicated Science Laboratory and a STEAM Centre opened in 2021 complement a broad arts and performance programme, with a Martlet emblem and Fortuna Favet Fortibus motto reflecting a knowledge‑driven culture. Boarding provides a home away from home.
