I would like to share feedback from my experience with the admissions process at Deutsche Schule Nairobi.
Overall, I experienced very long response times and, in some cases, no response at all during the inquiry and admissions process at Deutsche Schule Nairobi. I also found that communication about the admission tests and results was not clear or transparent, making it difficult to understand the process. Sadly, the issues raised in a parent's review on this website from 2 September 2024 were confirmed in my own experience.
These experiences have raised concerns for me about aspects of the school’s administration and communication, especially given the high school fees.
That said, I must emphasize that my comments are limited to the admissions process only. Since my son has not been admitted to the school, I am not in a position to comment on the quality of teaching or students' experiences within the school.
I hope these aspects can be improved, as communication and transparency are key to a school’s reputation and trust.
