Nairobi School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nairobi School is a national secondary school in Nairobi, Kenya. It was formed in 1925 by Lord Delamere and Sir Edward Grigg, then Governor of Kenya, and was originally called the European Nairobi School. In 1931 a new school was built at the 250 acre site at Kabete, the main school buildings being designed by Herbert Baker. The school was then renamed the Prince of Wales School, but following Kenya's independence the school was renamed Nairobi School in 1965.
