Founded by Kennedy Odede, visionary leader and founder of SHOFCO, Sankore International School in Nairobi is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bridging Kenya’s economic divide through inclusive, world-class education. Developed in partnership with Education Design International (EDI) and aligned with the Common Ground Curriculum, the school blends global values with Kenyan cultural identity.

Designed to support experiential, inquiry-based learning, the campus fosters critical thinking, creativity, and environmental awareness. Every space—from classrooms to courtyards—is crafted to inspire joyful learning, unity, and diversity.

Sustainability lies at the heart of the design, with features including solar energy systems, rainwater harvesting, eco-friendly materials, and lush green zones that connect students to Kenya’s ecological heritage.

The campus layout is inspired by traditional community circles, promoting open dialogue, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging. This approach ensures that every child feels seen, heard, and empowered.

Sankore International School stands as a beacon of equitable education and sustainable design in East Africa—setting a new benchmark for future-ready, inclusive learning environments.
