TEFL Program
- Nairobi
The
capital and largest city of
Kenya, Nairobi is a sprawling
metropolitan filled with a colorful
diversity of cultures and a
myriad of opportunities for
travelers, students and adventure-seekers.
Also known as “The Safari
Capital of the World,”
this major city offers the excitement
of the very nearby Nairobi National
Park – lying just outside
its border are over 400 species
of birds as well as giraffes,
lions, etc. Other attractions,
such as a multitude of museums
housing a vast catalog of historically-significant
artifacts, the largest ice-rink
in Africa (the Solar Ice Rink)
and the world-renowned Giraffe
Center, beckon safari-lovers
and students alike.

– the ever-busy business
district offering a skyline
unique to Africa but not unlike
the major cities of Asia and/or
the United States. The school
is located approximately 15
km from the international airport.
The school offers spacious classrooms,
audio-visual tools, and a small
library.
