Located in the heart of Nakuru, Shah Lalji Nangpar Academy offers a rich, international curriculum for students from Nursery through Senior School, guided by a commitment to academic excellence, holistic development, and a nurturing environment. Our dedicated teaching staff works closely with students to help them reach their full potential in an inclusive, supportive atmosphere.
Our Senior School programme, beginning in Year 7, prepares students for success in globally-recognized Cambridge IGCSE examinations.

Cambridge Lower Secondary provides a natural progression for children from primary education, preparing them for post-14 education programmes that lead to formal qualifications.
All Cambridge Lower Secondary subjects ensure a smooth progression throughout Cambridge Lower Secondary and onwards into Cambridge Upper Secondary and beyond.
Cambridge Lower Secondary checkpoint is an assessment marked externally by Cambridge – taken in the final year. It enables schools to obtain an international benchmark of learner performance to identify and address learning needs.
We recognise that meaningful education is more than just building subject knowledge and conceptual understanding. For Cambridge Lower Secondary learners to thrive throughout their schooling, we believe that they must also develop a broad range of skills, values, attitudes and behaviours. Your child will develop the confidence they need to thrive and make a positive impact in a changing world.
