History

Braeburn’s roots go back to 1968 when a Kindergarten was opened by an English woman in a house, (long  since demolished) that was located in what now is the car park at the front of the present school.

She called it Braeburn House International School.

The School grew and over the next ten years a few classrooms were added to accommodate the expansion into the Primary age groups.

In 1979 the school was bought by a company formed for the purpose, Braeburn Limited.

At that time the school consisted of the house, the additional classrooms, a carport, and a small playing field with eucalyptus trees at the bottom end. What is now the Foundation Stage building had walls but no roof.

There were a total of 79 children on roll and six teachers. The name was changed to simply Braeburn School.

The name 'Braeburn'  has its origins from "Burnbrae", which was the colonial name for this part of Nairobi. Burn and Brae, in turn, being the Scottish "burn" for stream and "brae" for hill.

At the time of purchase the school was in a very poor state, there had been little investment and the number of children on roll was fast diminishing.

There were Jacaranda trees everywhere and the grounds were often purple with blossom. The school colours were purple - two different shades on the walls and the windowsills.

The children were purple too - or at least their uniform was! The new management took over the school on April 1st 1979 (an auspicious date!) and things soon started to turn around. There was not much money but a lot of enthusiasm. As the school grew in numbers there was not enough teaching space and even the carport mentioned above was turned into a classroom.
