Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school has existed since 1968, giving it long-standing experience as a Swedish international school. The school follows Swedish curricula and is grounded in democratic values. Many students have studied abroad in other parts of the world; this diversity is a positive strength and makes the school an inspiring place to develop. Studies with us also prepare for a smooth transition to continued studies when returning home to the Nordic countries.
Spring term 2026: Purchase of food and basic supplies for a Maasai village in Mashuru; staff collected funds and students in the East Africa Culture course traveled to Boma to deliver the gift, visiting a school, a maternity clinic, and a church, and helping plant trees. Spring term 2025: Floods in Kenya affected nearly 200,000 people, with many losing lives, homes, livestock and crops, and several schools were closed to serve as temporary centers for families. SSN's fundraising totaled 187,572 KES, and the donations were sent to the Kenya Red Cross.
The Swedish School in Nairobi is run by a Kenyan school association with roots dating back to 1968. The association was registered in 1975 and is governed by The Society Act. The association holds an annual general meeting each year, where the annual report is presented and the outgoing board is discharged. A new board and office bearers — chair, treasurer, and secretary — are elected, with members drawn from those living in Nairobi. The board hires a principal who leads the educational program and day-to-day school operations. The association has no membership fee, and all parents and guardians of SSN students are eligible for membership.
