Rusinga Schools

A Christian co-educational day school in Lavington founded in 1975 by expatriate and Kenyan Christians, running British curriculum through Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson BTEC pathways.

Rusinga is named for Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria where one founding couple had taught, and the Christian foundation has been kept central since the school opened. The campus sits on Gitanga Road in Lavington, putting it within easy reach of families across Lavington, Kileleshwa and Westlands. The school holds CIS accreditation, which is meaningful given the variability of the Nairobi private-school market.

Cambridge IGCSE forms the core senior pathway, with BTEC available alongside, and Cambridge top-achiever awards come up year on year in the school's reporting. Families choosing Rusinga tend to want the Christian formation alongside British academic structure, in a smaller and more contained setting than Peponi or Braeburn. Online parent signal is modest in volume but consistently positive on community feel and teacher engagement.
