The International School of Kenya (ISK) is a private international school for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 students located in Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in 1976 and has a 25-hectare campus.
The grounds were originally a coffee plantation, and today, only a few of the original buildings remain. High school students can study for a North American high school diploma or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, while younger students study a North American curriculum.
The institution is accredited by the MSA.[1] ISK is a member of the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA), The Council of International Schools, and Round Square. They are also a carbon-neutral school.
International School of Kenya was ranked 7th out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility.[2]
The research leading up to the publication of the 100 Best High Schools in Africa began with the launching of the website in December 2000.
