about our school

A Fountain of Excellence

La Fontana International School stands as a beacon of inspiration and learning in the heart of Kilimani, Nairobi. Named after the Spanish word for “The Fountain,” La Fontana represents the beginning of a lifelong journey — a place where children are nurtured with intention, empowered through knowledge, and supported to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

In a rapidly changing world where the future demands adaptable thinkers, confident communicators and compassionate leaders, La Fontana International School offers an environment where learners grow not just in academic mastery, but in personal identity, creativity, curiosity and moral character.

We are more than a school. We are a community where every child is seen, every talent is valued, and every achievement is celebrated.
