School Philosophy
Brookhouse is a co-educational day and boarding school for students aged 3-19, offering an adapted form of the British National Curriculum to Kenyan and international students. The school strives to develop each student's intellectual, emotional, physical and social growth to their full potential.
At Brookhouse we believe that by adopting clearly defined academic and behavioral expectations, we will provide the students with the security necessary to achieve their potential within a relaxed but academically rigorous environment.
Location
Brookhouse is located in a pleasant, leafy environment about 10 kilometers to the south west of Nairobi city centre.
The school is next to Nairobi National Park and one of the entrances to the park is almost opposite the front gates of the school.
Access from the city is via Langata Road , turning left into Magadi Road . The school is a hundred meters along Magadi Road on the left.
The campus is very pleasant, with the preparatory and secondary schools separated by playing fields. The swimming pool, gym, tennis and basketball courts are in the southeast corner of the campus. We have irrigated playing fields, which provide a year round playing surface for soccer, rugby, netball, cricket and field hockey.
The secondary school is built around three sides of a landscaped quad, where students often study in the shade of mature jacaranda trees. The building complex is a modern two storey construction with balconies overlooking the quad. The classrooms are purpose-built, with all the facilities one would expect in any major international school, including science and computing laboratories, fine art and music studios, a drama auditorium and lecture theatres.
The preparatory school is a delightful ‘castle' style building with a courtyard adventureland designed to stimulate every child's imagination and desire to learn. The landscaped quad provides play areas that reflect various ecosystems of Kenya .
Brookhouse is in a quiet location, conducive to learning and a safe place for our boarders to live.
