Dear School Community and Prospective Parents,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to SABIS® International School – Runda. As a parent, choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make, and SABIS® Runda continues to be a school of choice for families seeking both academic excellence and meaningful student development. Built on a proven educational system and a globally recognized proprietary curriculum, our approach combines the strengths of both the American and British educational systems, grounded in the shared core values of the SABIS® Network. By joining our school, your child becomes part of a global community of learners on a clear path to success.
At SABIS® Runda, we are deeply committed to our community and to the holistic development of every student. This commitment is reflected not only in our classrooms, but in the opportunities we create beyond them. Over recent years, we have proudly hosted and led initiatives such as Jr. NBA Nairobi Tournaments and clinics, the Nairobi Orchestra collaboration, the first TEDx Youth Event in Nairobi, the Jamad Fiin Basketball Clinic, and many more. These experiences enrich our students' journeys, helping them grow as confident, capable, and compassionate individuals who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
We believe that every student has the potential to become a well-rounded individual, equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world. Our students are challenged and supported to develop critical thinking, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. This is achieved through the SABIS® Educational System, a carefully designed and research-based approach that integrates a structured learning cycle, consistent assessment, and the effective use of technology. Through the SABIS® Digital Platform, students, teachers, administrators, and parents can closely monitor progress, identify gaps, and work collaboratively to ensure continuous improvement and strong academic foundations.
A hallmark of our school is the balance we strike between rigorous academics and rich extra-curricular opportunities. Students at SABIS® Runda benefit from access to global platforms such as SABIS® Stars, which celebrates excellence in the arts and sciences, SABIS® STEAM Competition, where students compete in robotics and electrocraft, and the SABIS® Global Sports Tournament, where students compete internationally in athletics, swimming, football, and basketball. These experiences allow our students to explore their talents, build confidence, and connect with peers from around the world.
Our academic results continue to reflect our high standards and dedication to excellence. Students consistently perform strongly across IGCSE, AS and A Levels, AP® exams, and the SAT. What sets SABIS® apart is that we truly offer the best of both worlds: students graduate with an American-accredited high school diploma while also pursuing internationally recognized College Board and Cambridge qualifications. This ensures that our graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for top universities worldwide.
Beyond academics, our SABIS® Student Life Organization (SLO) plays a vital role in student growth. Run by students, for students, the SLO provides a structured platform for leadership, responsibility, and personal development within a supportive and nurturing environment.
At SABIS® Runda, we are driven by a clear mission: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. We strive to foster a culture where students take ownership of their education, build strong relationships, and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I am honored to be part of a community where parents, staff, and students work together with care, purpose, and a shared vision for excellence.
Together, we will continue to provide a top-quality education that prepares the leaders of tomorrow.
We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant and global community.
Sincerely,
Adrian Nicholas Mackie
