Introduction

A Pharo school, built to last.

Pharo School Nairobi teaches 1,775 students across four campuses on land and buildings owned by Pharo, and is expanding into senior secondary to complete the pathway.

Pharo School Nairobi sits inside one national network of curriculum, assessment and teacher development, so a lesson learned in one school improves the others.

We measure ourselves on whether a child who starts here finishes here, and on what happens to them afterwards.

The problem

In Kenya, a place at a good school is rationed by cost.

Quality schooling is scarce and expensive where we work, and the children with the most potential are the least likely to find a classroom that can develop it.

This is not a shortage of ability. It is a shortage of access to the institutions that turn ability into qualifications and work.

Our response

Our response

Pharo School Nairobi offers a continuous path, a shared standard, and local leadership developed through the network.

01
A continuous path

A clear route through the grades, so a child can complete their schooling without a forced transfer.

02
One shared model

The Pharo Graduate Profile and pedagogical spine anchor teaching across every campus.

03
Local leadership

Run by a local team, developed through the network’s teacher and leadership programmes.

What we learnt
Continuity beats intensity.

A child who stays for years outperforms one given a single intervention. Keeping students enrolled is where the returns are.

Local leadership is not a compromise.

Schools led by people from the community recruit better, retain better and are trusted more.

The network multiplies quality.

Shared curriculum, assessment and teacher development mean each school raises the others.
