Families relocating to Nairobi can start securing an Elyton place before they arrive: enquire, talk to Admissions, and apply online with your child's latest school report. Elyton teaches the British National Curriculum from Crèche to Year 6, with entry in September 2026 and January 2027.
Continuity from the UK and other British schools
Elyton's year groups use the English National Curriculum's names and its 1 September age cut-off, so a child coming from a UK school, or another British-curriculum school abroad, steps into the year group they were already in. Use the age finder to check.

Questions parents ask
Can we secure a school place before moving to Nairobi?
Yes. You can enquire and apply from abroad, and Admissions arranges the Meet your child session around your travel dates.
Will my child stay in the same year group moving from the UK?
Yes. Elyton uses the English National Curriculum's year groups and 1 September age cut-off, so children step into the year group they were already in.
When can a relocating child start?
Elyton admits for September 2026 and January 2027. Ask Admissions about the timing that fits your move.
