Admissions to the Aga Khan Junior School, Nairobi
Admission is based solely on merit and the school does not discriminate in admissions on nationality, race, tribe, ethnic origin or religion. Parents of students with non-Kenyan nationalities must show a valid residence permit, and obtain a student pass for their child to be enrolled at the school.
All prospective students are expected to be conversant in English, have good numerical literacy, show academic aptitude and interest in co-curricular/sporting activities, and have a positive record of behaviour both in and outside the classroom.
Grade One Entry
In September each year, the Junior School admits approximately 50 students into Grade 1, aged 5.5 to 6.5 years. Preference is given to students from the Aga Khan Nursery School Nairobi, where the PYP curriculum is followed. Students from the Nursery School receive admission to the Junior School if they have been at the nursery school for at least two years (K2 and K3) and they receive a recommendation for admission from the Head-teacher of the Nursery School.
A small number of students are also admitted from various other nursery schools. For these students, selection is based on performance on entry level assessments and interviews with the students and parents.
Transfer from other schools
For admission into other grades, an applicant is required to sit an entrance test. An interview will also be held with the student and sometimes with parents. Past reports from previous schools are taken into consideration for admission.
