    Finding the right school shouldn’t be complicated because there just isn’t the choice available as in Nairobi.  As always it’s more of a case of ‘matching’ a child to the right school than a search for golden and shiny perfection.  No school is perfect all the time, and all three schools reviewed have much to be proud of and are well worth serious consideration.

Unexpectedly, at least from a Euro-centric point of view, one is spoilt for choice if looking for a good school in Kenya. In this article is all you need to know, written by this extraordinary GSGI editor/advisor, a woman so intrepid she edited her school write-ups for the GSGI while "sorting out a stroppy bull buffalo" circling her house one summer afternoon.
