From Germany to Kenya .School😊

Hi, not the I would know of, as far as I am concerned the German school is the only bilingual school. Bin aber ueberzeugt dass die kleine schnell Englisch lernen wird und sich anpassen wird und eventuell dann auch deutsch sprechende Kameradinnen kennenlernt. In welchem Gebiet von Nairobi zuegelt ihr denn? und warum Kenya?
Lieber Gruss

Servus Mick45,
I will be having a Projekt in Kenia.(Self employed)
We have not yet chosen where we will be living,I wanted to get the Schule first..Then I will look for an Appartment somewhere near the school/Kindergarten..
Where can one meet other German speaking children?
I will come in December alone then she will join me in January.
Ich habe nur Angst that my daughter will hate Kindergarten when she can't understand what the other kids are saying..
Fühle mich total überfordert..

This is going to be tricky, but surely you will get more german speaking kids in the vicinity of Runda, where the German School is based, it is an expensive area for renting flats.
But hey i think you make yourself more worries than really necessary, kids are very intuitive and will pick up their own communication easily!!
All the Best.

Unfortunately the German School in Runda is the only option.  If its too expensive, also consider that Runda/Gigiri are one of the more expensive areas of Nairobi in which to live.............and Nairobi isn't a cheap city.

Any international school will be considerably more costly than a Kenyan system school.  Bear in mind that at a Kenyan school, there will be teaching in English & Kiswahili.

We sent our granddaughter from a British system school to a Kenyan school where they exclusively spoke Swahili on at least two days a week.  She couldn't speak Swahili when she joined, but quickly learned.  Children are adaptable and quickly learn languages.  In the time before she starts, you could teach her the English basics, so that she can ask for a drink, food, toilet.

By the way, if you are going to be self employed; have you familiarised yourself with the regulations around registering companies, NGO's and the work permit requirements for those?  Its not necessarily simple!
