Welcome to Our School
We develop future leaders with compassion, curiosity and drive
The International School of Kenya (ISK) is a private, PreK-Grade 12, non-profit school created in 1976 through a joint partnership between the governments of the United States and Canada. Our idyllic campus is nestled on 40 acres of a former coffee plantation in Nairobi.
ISK provides an impeccable environment for students who seek a challenging international curriculum which leads to the rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma programme. Graduates earn an ISK North American accredited diploma and approximately 70 percent of ISK graduates earn the IB Diploma, enabling them to study at some of the most respected and competitive colleges and universities in the world.
ISK’s internationally focused curriculum has helped Kenya to become a magnet for foreign business investment.
Expatriate families consider Kenya a quality career opportunity, in part due to the world-class education they find at ISK. Likewise, Kenyan families who want an international, culturally diverse education for their children see ISK as the school of choice.
