Situated in the peaceful and tree-cloistered greenery of Lavington, equipped
with a modern gym, computer lab and art studio, and backed by a philosophy to
produce disciplined, responsible and caring graduates, is the eco friendly
Nairobi International School, the very first school that is “going green” in
Africa.
Nothing, none of the above, is by happenstance. All is planned and anchored in a
clear vision: “When I made up my mind to start a school, I knew I wanted a happy
school and I set out to create one. A happy school means happy staff, which
means happy children, which in turn means happy parents and, therefore, a happy
community.”
These inspiring and carefully chosen words are uttered with confidence and
conviction by Mrs Radhika Lee, the founder, principal and guiding light of
Nairobi International School, better known by the abbreviation NIS. They point
to something special. It starts with the school motto. The NIS logo declares,
‘Where Tomorrow Begins’. And, as Mrs Lee puts it, tomorrow starts with children
because they are the future, if they are taught the right values and when they
are at ease and peace with themselves.
