A message from the Principal
I feel privileged to lead such an exciting and vibrant school, which offers great opportunities for young people. It is our goal to make each and every student succeed. We offer our students the best possible opportunities to become confident, thoughtful young people who are pre-pared for any future challenges, in an exciting and increasingly competitive global world.
At BIS, we are very proud of our caring, inclusive ethos where we set high standards and expectations for our students to achieve and behave their very best. From the moment a student joins our school community we want them to feel a sense of happiness and belonging, as this is essential to their future success.
Through the British Curriculum, our academic standards at BIS continue to improve term after term and year after year. Our school will continue to further develop TALENTS as we believe in a strong sense of character and skills development.
Our superb facilities and dedicated staff enable us to deliver our programs in an environment that is intimate, friendly and attuned to every specific educational need. We keep our classes relatively small to create an atmosphere where you can feel relaxed and comfortable, which allows learners to really get to know their teachers.
I want to mention a lesson that personally inspires me to do and achieve more despite failing a hundred times. You are only limited by your imagination. Thus, let us start every term at school with hopes and dreams that no matter how limited we might be, we will do our best to achieve our dreams. Also, there is something magical about success. If I asked you to name the first man who walked on the moon. I am pretty sure that I would get a bunch of answers.
However, if I asked you who was the second person, I know I would barely get any answers. Because, traditionally, we do not value the second or third positions as much as we should. After all, it is not only the first person who deserves fame, a name, and a notable status. Whether you believe it or not, each and everyone deserves it because we all work hard and give our best. Additionally, those who have invested their best but were not able to manage a victory, keep working hard because hard work pays off.
Mrs. Lucy Simotwo, Principal- Lavington Campus.
A message from the Director
I am delighted to have the opportunity to welcome you to Brookhurst International school. Brookhurst is a Cambridge registered school and is designed to offer the British National Curriculum at preparatory and secondary level and GCE for A-Level. We enroll learners from grade 1-13 and are aged between 5-18 years.
The curriculum is child friendly and is delivered in a manner to enable the learners excel in all facets and to face the future with confidence. Students have the opportunity to take O-Level examinations (IGCSE) and A- Level (GCE). Moreover, upon successful completion of the education period; students are able to join highly recognized national and international universities and colleges. Our mission is to facilitate young boys and girls realize their dreams and develop outstanding personalities.
The school has excellent boarding facilities at its Kiserian Campus with over 90% of the students being regular boarders. However, a few students are day schooling and transport is offered within the geographical cluster of, Rongai, Karen, Ngong, Kiserian and Langata Road. We truly aim to provide a homely and friendly environment for our children.
Brookhurst’s Lavington campus is notable for its immaculate campus nestled in the center of Lavington Nairobi. The campus is a day school offering the residents of Nairobi county the finest educational experience. We aim to provide a highly structured hands-on approach to learn-ing where students are given opportunities to develop skills through practical investigation, research, and once having practiced and acquired these skills, be able to guide their own future learning.
I believe every child comes into this world with bundles of gifts and talents and the role of learning institutions and the society at large is to enable the child to identify and develop these gifts and talents. For this reason, Brookhurst School develops the academic ability of the child and helps to identify other talents in areas such as: music, sports, drama and arts. Just like in education, we aim to supply the world with people of great talents.
Brookhurst has rallied the staff and students to focus on being the best in Africa and beyond. Consequently, we put on the mind and armor of winners in everything that we purpose to do. This spirit has positioned us among the best school in academics, for instance in 2015, 95% of our students achieved outstanding performance in IGCSE.
We have represented the country in international soccer matches and have won such as Keele warrior cup in UK in 2014, Nottingham cup in 2015, and in Barcelona tournament in 2016. Moreover, we have students who have qualified with private pilot licenses through our aviation program. In many occasions we have been rated first and will continue with this spirit of setting the pace and giving our students the wings to fly.
Welcome to our school. I am confident this is the best environment for your son and daughter that will nurture their dreams and aspirations.
Welcome to the home of champions.
Prof. Ruth Waweru School Director.

My fondest memories in Brookhurst must be hanging out with friends at the sports pitch, biology lessons and class trips. Always joking around and building everlasting bonds with each other. I came from Tanzania as a nervous yound girl and came out of Brookhurst as a confident, assured leader. Without a doubt, Brookhurst has taught me integrit, leadership skills and being sociable. The teachers have installed me with integrity, which i’d say is a very important virtue in being a dependable and stable member of society.

Brookhurst allowed me to cultivate a spirit of hard work and dedication that continues to propel me to reach my goals. I also learnt how to work well with others and developed my leadership skills especially during my time on the netball team. The little community we were able to build during our time there is one I am forever grateful for. Those little moments like sharing meals, playing sports and just being able to laugh together are moments that i cherish.

Our Alumni Say
Winning the title of Little Miss Kenya 2017/18 will always be a core memory when I think of Brookhurst. It wasn’t just a crown—it was a catalyst. I believe chance is where preparation meets opportunity, and had I been anywhere else, I would not have been in an environment that intentionally nurtured my emergence. What stands out to me is how the school believed in me at such a formative age—giving me opportunities to lead, to serve, and to step into stages I didn’t even know I was ready for. I’ll always love you Brookhurst.

The most important value I learned was that hard work pays off. The school pushed me to be the best and in the process I appreciated the importance of mantaining a great work ethic. You have to put the work in all you do. I carry this attitude with me to this day. I also gained a deeper respect for authority during my time Brookhurst. The school appropriately reprimanded my negative tendencies while simultaneously pushing me towards the right path.

One of the key values Brookhurst imparted on me is the value of perseverance. It crucially aided me in learning how to set and achieve, personal & academic, long term goals. I also learnt that failure is okay because you have to dust yourself off, get back up and try again. Never give up.
Lincy Wambui, Class of 2018 California State University - USA, California Bsc. Information Technology
Brookhurst nurtured in me a strong sense of discipline that shaped my character as a student as well as a person. Character and hard work are crucial values the school imbues and transmits into all of us. I will fondly remember how we used our never give up attitude and discipline in the classroom and in winning Brookhurst’s first ever major football trophy. These memories are what I cherish most from my time at school. Time really does fly by so fast while you are in school. Class of 2017 for life; we are Brookhurst, we are family
