A Globally Recognised Pathway from Grade 9 to University — Now Open at NHS Online School
For families seeking a seamless transition from the Kenyan CBE system to an internationally respected curriculum, a clear and credible pathway is now available.
Students who have completed the Kenya CBE Grade 9 examinations may transition directly into the Cambridge Pathway, beginning at Year 10, which marks the start of Cambridge IGCSE (Key Stage 4). This progression is academically sound, internationally benchmarked, and designed for learners with strong potential and ambition.
Academic Timeline
Year 10 (Cambridge IGCSE – KS4): Entry point after Grade 9
Year 11: IGCSE examinations in May–June 2027
Years 12 & 13 (Cambridge A Levels): Examinations in October 2028
University Entry: 2029, locally or internationally
This pathway allows students to remain on track with their age group while gaining qualifications that are recognised by leading universities worldwide.
Beyond the Classroom At NHS Online School, education extends well beyond academics. Through carefully selected partnerships, students participate in structured extracurricular programmes that support character development, leadership, discipline, and well-being. Opportunities include:
Rugby, football, basketball, athletics, golf, and tennis
Drama and theatre
Music and visual arts (ART)
Other enrichment and talent-development programmes
These activities are thoughtfully integrated to ensure students grow not only as scholars, but as well-rounded, confident young adults prepared for global environments.
