In brief
A small British-curriculum primary on Msanaka Road in Parklands serving children from Year 1 to Year 6, run on modest fees compared with the Westlands and Kileleshwa internationals.
The school positions itself as an early-years to upper-primary feeder, age range roughly 5 to 13, and stops well short of secondary. Families using Herald typically plan to move children on to one of the Cambridge or Edexcel secondaries elsewhere in Nairobi at age 11 or 13. The curriculum follows the English national curriculum with the standard Kenyan overlay.
Fees sit in the affordable bracket, with a first-year enrolment around KSh 250,000 and yearly fees from roughly KSh 225,000 to KSh 360,000 depending on year group. That places Herald well below ISK or Hillcrest and closer in price to the smaller neighbourhood internationals. Parent voice online is sparse, which is normal for a school of this size. Suited to families wanting a calm, lower-cost British primary in central Nairobi rather than a destination international.

Herald International School helps give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible citizens. We attach maximum importance to the standard of the faculty members employed at the Herald International School. We firmly believe that a school is not known by the building structures or its settings, but by the excellence of its faculty.
