Since 2000, we have been shaping curious minds and confident hearts in the heart of Nairobi — one child at a time.
White Cottage Junior School was founded in the year 2000 by a group of passionate educators who believed that every child in Nairobi deserved a world-class, nurturing, and academically rigorous environment.
What began as a small school of 60 pupils and 8 teachers has grown into one of Nairobi's most respected junior schools — home to over 800 pupils and 65 dedicated staff members.
Our name reflects our founding ethos: a place of simplicity, warmth, and excellence — much like the cottage that our founders used as their first meeting point to plan the school.
To provide a safe, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating environment that equips every child with the skills, values, and curiosity needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
To be recognised across East Africa as the school that produces the most well-rounded, ethically grounded, and academically excellent young people — leaders who will shape tomorrow's society.
We believe in honesty, a love of learning, and the relentless pursuit of excellence — not just academic, but in character, sport, and service to others.
Our team combines decades of experience in Kenyan education with progressive, child-centred approaches to learning.
"Every child who walks through our gates is capable of extraordinary things. My role — and that of every teacher here — is simply to help them discover that truth."
