About the school
Strathmore School is Kenya’s first multi-racial school established in 1961 in the Lavington area of Nairobi. It began as a residential Sixth Form College offering British-styled A-level courses and in 1963 switched from the Cambridge School Certificate Examination to the London GCE. In 1977 it became a full-fledged Secondary school. In 1988, the school began offering education under the KCSE - Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education - curricula which it follows to date.
The school is a private, independent, boys’ day school located in Nairobi, Kenya that follows the 8-4-4 curriculum with a significant number of its students receiving financial aid.
