Peponi School is an international, co-educational school in Kenya set about twenty-five kilometres outside Nairobi near Ruiru. It was founded in 1989 and has been very fortunate to enjoy very early success and would now be rated amongst the best schools in Kenya. Peponi School follows the British system through to IGCSE and A Level. The School is situated on our own very spacious grounds in the beautiful Northlands Estate. Our pupils have developed a fine reputation for success in the classroom, on the games field and for both Music and Drama. Our unashamedly holistic approach, as a boarding school, is a key feature of our aims. Extra-curricular activities are very much part of school life. As one of the leading British curriculum schools in Kenya, we prepare our pupils for entry to universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Most of our leavers enter Law, Economics, Science, Medical and Engineering courses.
