Learn From Anywhere
Students can join NHS from across Kenya and internationally. All they need is a reliable internet connection and a suitable learning device.
ExploreAcademic continuity and transfer
Continuity while a learner awaits or changes school placement.
Nairobi’s international families often move between countries, schools and academic calendars. NHS provides a structured Cambridge programme during that transition, so a waiting period does not become an academic gap.
Transition records
Academic documentation for school transfer.
NHS prepares clear academic records and transition documentation. Final admission, year placement and credit recognition remain the decision of the receiving school.
How continuity worksCambridge examination cohorts
2027 examination series.
The active examination cohorts are May / June 2027 and October / November 2027 for learners in Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13.

Academic quality assurance
Teaching, assessment and reporting standards.
NHS maintains defined standards for class size, academic planning, progress monitoring and parent reporting.
Cambridge classes are capped at 10 learners.
Every cohort follows a documented syllabus and exam-readiness plan.
Attendance, reports, feedback and progress remain visible through the platform.
Where NHS cancels paid teaching, the lesson is rescheduled or appropriately credited.
Quality assurance does not mean a guaranteed examination grade or guaranteed admission to a third-party school; outcomes also depend on learner participation, prior attainment and external admissions or examination decisions.
Final examinations
Cambridge examination preparation and registration guidance.
NHS supports families with Cambridge exam-entry planning, deadlines, documentation and examination readiness. Final examinations are taken through British Council Kenya or another approved examination centre, depending on candidate status, subject requirements and available arrangements.
External examination, exam-board, British Council, KNEC or centre fees are separate from NHS tuition unless a written offer specifically states otherwise.
