Welcome to the Netherlands School Society Nairobi

The Netherlands School Society (NSS) has been offering bilingual (Dutch and English) pre- and primary education in Nairobi for 50 years.

In our small classrooms, education is focused on the individual learning needs of each of our students. Our large and green compound is a wonderful place to learn and discover. Through cooperation and learning to make your own choices, our students get the best of both worlds: world class bilingual education in an international setting. Our students flourish in a safe and learning-centered environment. We see our students flourish all over the world with a solid and thoroughly tested educational basis both in Dutch and English.

Through our IPC (International Primary Curriculum), we offer our students a wide and challenging education. The thematic approach of IPC encourages the student’s participation, and the international character of the curriculum is a perfect match for our student population. Students ‘learn to learn’ and to take responsibility for their own learning process. With around 15 nationalities, the Netherlands School Society is a ‘national-international school’. We are proud of our Dutch education model embedded in an international environment.

We welcome you!
