First established in 1965, Hillcrest School is a co-educational independent international school located in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. It was founded with the intention of providing a high-quality international education to both local residents and the expatriate community.

These include numerous modern classrooms, computer labs, an amphitheatre, swimming pools and various other sports facilities, a dedicated design and technology centre, and even a conserved nature trail. Hillcrest offers places to around 630 students at both prep and secondary level, with a small amount of boarding provision for those who require it. In terms of curriculum, Hillcrest primarily follows a British-style international methodology.
