A Parent & Teacher Guide from Elimuhub Education Hub – Opening January 2026 in Eastleigh, Nairobi
Asalaam Alaikum and Karibu sana!
At Elimuhub, we are building a brand-new British-curriculum (Cambridge IGCSE) school right in the heart of Eastleigh. Many parents and teachers have been asking us:
“What exactly is IGCSE, and why is it the best choice for my child or my teaching career?”
Here is everything you need to know in simple, clear terms.
What Does IGCSE Stand For?
International General Certificate of Secondary Education
→ A world-famous qualification designed and examined by Cambridge University, UK
→ Taken by students aged 14–16 (Year 10 & 11) in over 160 countries
Why Thousands of Nairobi Parents Are Choosing IGCSE
| Benefit for Your Child | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Direct entry to top universities worldwide | UK, USA, Canada, Australia, UAE accept IGCSE + A-Level with no foundation year |
| Develops real skills, not just exam-passing | Critical thinking, research, practical experiments, presentations |
| Amazing English fluency | All subjects (except languages) taught and examined in English |
| Freedom to choose subjects the child loves | No forced “Group 1, 2, 3” like 8-4-4 — students follow their strengths |
| Practical science & ICT that universities love | 20–30 % of Science marks come from experiments done in school |
