Curriculum and academics
Oshwal Academy follows a British curriculum, with pupils progressing through the primary stages into IGCSE courses in the middle years and A Level in the senior school. Examinations are taken on Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel specifications, the same boards used by most British system schools, which keeps a child's record portable if the family moves on. Our British curriculum guide sets out how the stages and exam boards connect.
The academy is frequently listed alongside Nairobi's International Baccalaureate and wider international schools when families draw up a shortlist, even though its published senior pathway is A Level. Run by the Oshwal Education and Relief Board, a community organisation, it places weight on academic results, values and a strong sense of belonging, and it serves families well beyond the founding community.
Provision is organised across nursery, primary and senior phases, so a child can progress through the whole school without changing institution, which appeals to families who value continuity. The coeducational intake is broad and the school combines a structured academic programme with sport, music, drama and service, giving pupils a rounded experience alongside the examined curriculum. For families weighing value for money against the premium names in the city, the balance Oshwal strikes is a large part of why it appears so often on relocation shortlists.

Source: Oshwal Academy Nairobi (published Senior High fees). The school publishes only Senior High fees (annual = two charged terms). Lower-year fees are not published. Fees are the most recent published figures and exclude one-off costs such as registration, deposits and capital levies. Always confirm current fees directly with the school.
Oshwal Academy Nairobi fees sit in the lower to mid band for the city. Its not for profit governance keeps tuition more accessible than many international schools, which is a large part of its appeal, and the school publishes its current schedule directly. For a sense of where that lands against the wider market, our guide to international school fees in Nairobi sets out the full range from budget to premium.
As always, plan beyond tuition. Expect a registration or admission fee, and optional costs such as transport, meals, uniform, trips and external examination entries. We publish fee bands rather than promote any school, because no school pays to be listed on GlobalSchoolGuide.
Admissions
Oshwal Academy admits subject to availability, with the principal intake at the start of the academic year. The process asks for recent school reports and, depending on the year group, an assessment. Because the combination of a British pathway and a moderate fee point draws strong demand, places in popular year groups can fill quickly.
Families relocating to Nairobi are best advised to register interest early and confirm availability for their child's specific year group before committing to a neighbourhood.
Location and who goes there
The academy runs primary and senior provision in Nairobi and draws a broad, multicultural community of Kenyan and expatriate families, many attracted by the balance of academic results and affordability. Commutes vary by campus, so it is worth checking which campus covers your child's stage and how that maps to where you plan to live.
