Light Academy Nairobi

Light Academy Nairobi is the Kenyan-curriculum school of the Light Group of Schools, on a campus at Karen C off Lang'ata Road. Under the competency-based system it now teaches junior school (Grades 7 to 9) and senior school (Grades 10 to 12), and it takes both boys and girls as day scholars or boarders. The group says it has been running schools in Kenya for about 25 years, and the Nairobi academy has long been known for strong national examination results in the 8-4-4 years. The campus has science laboratories, a computer room, boarding houses and its own school buses. Its sister school, Light International School, offers the Cambridge curriculum to families who prefer an international programme, and both belong to a group that also runs schools in Mombasa and Malindi.
