Peponi School is an independent coeducational day and boarding school located just north of Nairobi, Kenya, serving pupils aged 12 to 18. The curriculum follows Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels and A Levels, with Pearson Edexcel IGCSE as an option, delivered by staff who emphasise small class sizes and differentiated learning from Shell (Year 9) through Upper Sixth (Year 13).
