About Durham International School - Rosslyn Campus
Durham International School is a branch of Durham UK, one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished schools with a 600-year history dating back to 1414. Located in Nairobi, Kenya, the school opened its Thigiri campus in January 2021 and has since grown into a respected international institution. The school recently expanded with a new purpose-built Rosslyn campus for its Senior School. Durham International School provides a comprehensive education from Early Years (ages 1-6) through Prep School (ages 6-11) to Senior School (ages 11-18), including Sixth Form. The school's mission focuses on delivering a rounded education that inspires lifelong learning, achievement, respect for others, and 'Confidence for Life.' Core values of Moral integrity, Ambition, Responsibility, and Kindness (MARK) underpin all teaching. The school emphasizes creating a caring, nurturing environment where every student is known and valued as an individual. Facilities include state-of-the-art classrooms, co-curricular spaces, and sports facilities. The Thigiri campus is situated in a leafy area near Karura Forest, conveniently located between Westlands and Gigiri, close to embassies, UN headquarters, and major shopping centers. The Rosslyn campus offers similar green surroundings with good connectivity to commercial areas. Durham International School is part of the global Durham network, which includes schools in Qatar and Dubai, and maintains affiliations with prestigious educational associations.
