Established in 1979, the group operates schools across Kenya and Tanzania. Braeburn schools offers the British national curriculum, International Baccalaureate (IB), BTEC diploma programmes, and teacher training.
Braeburn Schools was founded in 1979 by British educator Terry Childs, beginning with the establishment of Braeburn School on Gitanga Road, Lavington in Nairobi. The school was designed to offer the British national curriculum to both expatriate and Kenyan students, providing an alternative to the local 8âÂÂ4âÂÂ4 system.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the group opened Braeburn Garden Estate School (1982) and Braeside School (1994). In 1999, Braeburn acquired St. George's International School in Arusha, Tanzania, marking its first venture outside Kenya. In 2007, the company established a Tanzanian subsidiary, Braeburn Schools Tanzania Limited, to manage operations in the region.
