See the campus before the first child does
Elyton opens this year. Before we do, we are throwing open all the whole campus - every classroom, the pool, the track, the laboratories and the studios - to the families deciding whether to be part of our founding cohort.
A school is a feeling before it is a decision
Choosing a brand-new school is an act of judgement, and judgement needs evidence. Prospectuses photograph well; what they cannot show you is the size of a classroom, the temperature of the water, or how the people running the place answer a hard question when they have not rehearsed it. That is what 29 August is for.
The whole campus, on foot
The track, the playing fields, the smart classrooms, the library and the multipurpose hall: the actual rooms, doors open, with time to look properly.
Meet the teachers, not the sales team
Our founding faculty were hired before we opened admissions. You will meet the people who will actually take your child's class, and you can interview them.
Your children are guests too
Bring them. They will paint, play and run the field with our staff while you talk. How your child reacts to a place tells you more than any prospectus.
Nothing off the table
Our Head of School takes open questions from the floor. Fees, staffing, timelines, what is finished and what is still being finished. Ask the awkward ones.
Built for relocating families
Moving to Nairobi? We will map the British curriculum transition from your child's current school, year by year, and tell you exactly where they would land.
Founding places decided here
Our first cohort is small and capped at twenty-five per class. Most founding places will be taken by families who came on the day.
Come for an hour, or stay the whole day
The campus walk and the admissions clinic run continuously, so there is no wrong time to arrive. Pick the arrival window that suits your family when you RSVP.
Doors open & warm welcome
Main ReceptionSign in, collect your family lanyard and prospectus, and meet the admissions team over Kenyan coffee and chai.
Walk the campus
All learning wingsThe whole campus, on foot: the smart classrooms, the library and reading corner, the multipurpose hall, ready for the first cohort. Bring questions about every room.
The grounds: pool, track and field
Sports PrecinctThe 400-metre all-weather track, the playing fields and the outdoor activity areas. Children are welcome to run the field while you look around.
Founding address from the Head of School
Multi-Purpose HallWho we are, who we have hired, how the British National Curriculum will be taught here, and exactly what we are committing to in our first year. Open questions follow, nothing off the table.
Meet the teaching team
Central CourtyardLunch on the lawn with the teachers who will actually take your child's class. Ask them where they have taught, what they believe about learning, and how they will handle a room of new children in week one.
Children's activity hour
Art Studio & Playing FieldOur staff run art, games and sports taster sessions, so children get a real feel for the place while you get an uninterrupted hour with the admissions team.
Founding admissions clinic - one to one
Admissions OfficePrivate conversations on entry points, assessments, fees, transport routes, and what a founding family place includes.
Close
Main ReceptionTake home your prospectus and, if you're ready, register your child's founding place with our team beside you.

Questions families ask us
Yes, and we would rather you heard it from us. Elyton opens to its first cohort in 2026. Our campus is finished and purpose-built, and our teaching team is deeply experienced. Come see both for yourself at the Open Day rather than take our word for it.
You will see every classroom and specialist facility with the doors open, and the teachers who will run them standing in front of you to answer questions. Our first term starts after the Founding Open Day, so come to see the rooms and meet the people.
Please RSVP. Admission is free, but we cap each arrival window so groups stay small enough for real conversation. If you find yourself free on the day without a booking, call +254 721 122 403 and we will fit you in if there is room.
Yes, and we hope you do. The day is built around them: art, games and sports taster sessions with our staff, while parents tour and meet teachers.
Most families stay about two hours. Allow three to four to see everything: the full campus walk, the Head's founding address, lunch with the teaching team, and the admissions clinic.
You can. Our admissions team will sit with you and register your child's place on the spot, or you can apply online afterwards at your own pace. There is never any pressure to decide on the day.
Come as you are; this is a school, not a gala. Comfortable shoes help, since the walking route covers all the learning wings and the sports precinct. Bring your child's most recent school report if you would like specific guidance on entry points.
The main teaching wings, hall and reception are step-free. Tell us about any mobility, sensory or dietary needs in your RSVP and we will arrange a route and a quiet space in advance.
Book a private campus tour instead. We run them on weekdays throughout the year, with the same access to our teachers and leadership.
Ask us anything else. Call +254 721 122 403 or email info@elytonschools.org.
