Throughout the preparatory years teachers are keenly aware that a balance must be struck between academic progress through homework and the child enjoying a home life free of undue labour imposed from school. Homework increases as the child grows older. Parents should expect that an increased amount of homework will become essential during the period before examinations. At the secondary level, homework and private study become an increasingly vital element as the child progresses up through the school.

Brookhouse is a co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 2 – 19, offering an adapted form of the British National Curriculum to Kenyan and international pupils. The pursuit of academic excellence is at the centre of the school's educational philosophy and approach. As a global member of the Round Square association of schools worldwide, Brookhouse believes that a school should foster courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolve so that children emerge empowered with the skills and abilities to be the leaders and guardians of tomorrow’s world.Brookhouse endeavours to provide the security and guidance necessary for children to achieve their potential in a friendly, supportive and academically rigorous atmosphere. As such the school commits itself to the Round Square ethos or IDEALS: Internationalism; Democracy; Environment; Adventure; Leadership and Service.

Brookhouse follows an adapted form of the British National Curriculum. This means that throughout the Preparatory School up to and including Year Eight students study the set national curriculum subjects, including Mathematics, English, Science, Geography, History, Art, Physical Education, Music, a modern Foreign Language and ICT. In Year Nine pupils undertake a pre-IGCSE year of study, and in Year's Ten and Eleven students follow a two year course leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.
It is important that whilst within our School environment, learners feel safe as this enables them to fully explore their education and develop healthy relationships with others. We aim to support all school community members in collaboration with their families. At our international school in Nairobi, we recognise that children can only achieve their potential if they are happy and secure.
