About Us

The Rudolf Steiner School, Mbagathi

Our school is situated 20 km south of Nairobi on the Maasai plains, close to Nairobi National Park. Our school offers the Rudolf Steiner curriculum to our four Kindergarten groups, primary and junior secondary classes up to class Ten. Besides the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum, the school integrates the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC), the state curriculum of Kenya. This allows them to join senior secondary school after finishing class Ten. Our school is unique not just because it offers Steiner education but because its purpose is to help the financially challenged families through our sponsorship programme.

We wish to invite you to our Anthroposophical Conference which will take place at the Rudolf Steiner School Mbagathi, Nairobi, Kenya from 30th March to 2nd April 2026.  The title of our Conference is ‘The Power of Community Engagement’. We welcome all from your community who have an interest in this theme.

Our guest speaker is Ueli Hurter, with vast experience as a bio-dynamic farmer, a co-leader of the Section for Agriculture at the Goetheanum from the year 2010 and a member of the Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society from the year 2020. 

Troels Ussing has worked intensively with Waldorf education and Anthroposophy in East Africa.  Esther Nyagah is an experienced Waldorf teacher at the Nairobi Waldorf School. We also have many experienced workshop leaders from East Africa – find attached our Conference programme.
