Overview

Welcome to Hillcrest International Schools, where we inspire each child to achieve their own individual personal excellence. As a result, they grow to become valuable members of our global community. Guided by the British Curriculum, we cater for children aged 18 months to young adults aged 18 years. By stimulating each individual’s abilities and talents within an atmosphere of mutual respect, we aim to ensure Semper Prospice (always looking forward) is a lifelong quest. In addition, a valuable boarding resource is offered to children in Prep and Secondary. This complements our learning environment and caters for families who live further afield or juggle work travel with family life. Hillcrest Secondary School has a unique and long standing reputation within East Africa. Our cultural diversity; academic, creative and sporting prowess and wide-ranging opportunities provided to broaden the mind, body and spirit are well-established. We equip our students to develop into effective young adults and world citizens. We aim to ensure Semper Prospice (always looking forward) is a lifelong mission, achieving this through partnership with parents, support staff and governors. The cohesive community and low student-teacher ratios enable our students to be stimulated and challenged academically. Each student is encouraged to aim high and is supported to achieve personal examination success — opening the door to further and higher education and their chosen career path. Boarding at Hillcrest is seen as a valuable opportunity for our students to grow in independence while they enhance their learning experiences. Our philosophy and approach is very much in keeping with our vision of inspiring each child to achieve personal excellence as a valuable member of our global community and we support every aspect of your child’s development — educational and social. Offering a safe and secure family environment, boarding at Hillcrest offers every student the opportunity to live and learn in a caring, purposeful and multicultural community and their care is of paramount importance. ‘Toadies’ — as we call our boarding children — are members of a strong community in which they feel safe and happy as they grow into responsible adults. We warmly invite you to come and visit us at Toad Hall so you can see for yourself our wonderful new facilities and to meet the team.
