A Legacy of Values-Based Education – Welcome to Rusinga International School
Located in the quiet and leafy neighbourhood of Lavington along Gitanga Road, Rusinga International School has nurtured academic excellence and Christian values since its founding in 1975. Originally established by a group of local and expatriate Christian families, the school has evolved into a top-tier institution offering the British National Curriculum to learners from early years to A-Level.
The school provides a structured and progressive education across four levels:
- Kindergarten: Toddlers, Kindergarten 1, 2, and 3
- Preparatory School: Years 1 to 6
- Senior School: Years 7 to 11
- Sixth Form (A-Levels): Years 12 and 13
With a strong emphasis on character, academics, and global citizenship, Rusinga prepares students for both local leadership and international opportunities.
