Top 7 A Level Schools in Nairobi

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Nairobi has a strong cluster of international and private schools, many of which offer Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels in senior years. This guide highlights those A Level routes and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Helpful datapoints when comparing A Level options in Nairobi include:

• A*/A and A*/A/B rates across recent cohorts
• Subject breadth, particularly in STEM and Business/Economics
• Number of entries per subject and cohort size
• University destinations in Kenya, the region, and globally
• Accreditation status with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Where detailed statistics are limited, parents rely on reputation, inspection reports, and exam-support structures.
