Screening and Assessment

To ensure that Nairobi International School curriculum is suited to the skills, needs and abilities of each child, an assessment is held prior to entry.

Assessments vary for each year level.

Tests include:
• English Language exam
• Mathematics exam

For early years, students may be requested to join in a play-based activity where their motor skills will be seen and their recognition of colours, shapes or numbers are observed. In higher grades, students may be required to sit an examination where their core competencies will be assessed. The results of this assessment are supported by previous school records, where available. Final admission can be offered at the discretion of the Principal if the student is believed to have the potential to succeed in Nairobi International School environment.
