About us
“We believe God created every child in His image, as a whole person, ready to thrive.”
At Ambleside Stawi International School, we believe education does more than prepare children for exams — it shapes their character, intellect, and spirit so they can truly flourish.
Rooted in the timeless philosophy of Charlotte Mason, our approach honors each child as a unique individual, born with curiosity, creativity, and the capacity to learn deeply. We partner with parents to provide:
- A joyful atmosphere where children feel secure, inspired, and valued.
- A life-giving curriculum filled with rich literature, nature study, hands-on exploration, and meaningful work.
- A foundation of good habits that equips children not just for school, but for life.
As a result, we intentionally provide a holistic education, nurturing both mind and heart, so every child grows into a thoughtful, capable, and compassionate person, ready to thrive in the world.

About Us
Ambleside Stawi International School is a nurturing learning community in Ngong, Kerarapon Drive 19, offering children a joyful and life-giving education.
We root our early years learning in Charlotte Mason’s rich philosophy, which affirms that children are born persons — capable of deep thought, wonder, and growth. Inspired by this timeless approach, we fill our classrooms with living books, nature exploration, meaningful habits, and a culture of respect.”
As children grow, we prepare them for the future by transitioning into the Cambridge curriculum in the senior years, combining a strong international standard with a whole-person approach to learning.
We currently welcome children aged 3 to 6 years for the Kindergarten years and our aim is to grow organically, adding a new class each year.
Families who join us now become part of a pioneering journey — helping shape a school where faith, wisdom, and excellence meet.
