– Arnold Macharia, Alumni

"My kids have never loved school so much. Such wonderful teachers, such a nurturing environment."

– Evelyne Onyango, Parent

"A lot of opportunities especially through music. I never knew I was able to play the saxophone until Waldorf introduced them & showed me it was no different from a recorder. I'd always wanted to learn but didn't know how easy it would be. My knowledge of the recorder, thanks to Waldorf's introduction in class 1, allowed me to develop that talent."

– Wambari Were, Alumni

"My heart swells with pride and deep emotion. Being a parent at this school for 21 years has been one of the most fulfilling journeys of my life. I've watched it grow from a humble beginning with just 8 children in 2005 to the thriving community of 400 students we see today. And the staff—from just 6 dedicated souls to a strong team of 100—has been the backbone of this incredible journey."

– James Ngomeli, Parent

"When James joined Hillcrest, he was excited by the adventure. It was as though Waldorf education had opened his mind to learning. As a self-conscious child, Waldorf gave him confidence and the ability to make friends. He has won academic prizes, been house captain, and played on most sports teams. He has moved school three times since then, and even now in New Zealand he is reaping the benefits of his earlier years at the Nairobi Waldorf School Trust."

– Ingrid Dugand, Former NWST Parent

"The balance between academics and non-academic activities is one of the things i value most as it allows my children to enjoy their childhood"

– Mama Nadia, Parent

"The children grow up with self confidence and ability to blend with many cultures, characters and people."

– Lee Kanyotu, Parent

"At NWST, our Early Childhood program creates a warm, home-like environment for children aged 18 months to 6 years. Rooted in Waldorf education, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and a love for life through meaningful daily rhythms like baking, painting, and play."

– Caroline Njeri, Parent

"The world of handwork – crafts, woodwork has always intrigued me backed by a strong conviction that the work of one's hands brings satisfaction. When I learnt that the Waldorf curriculum offers hand work e.g crocheting, sewing, knitting - I knew I had found the perfect curriculum for my 3yos (12 as May 2025) As a mother to a preteen boy, I am delighted to see him use his free time by crocheting, knitting, crafting and more."

– Susan Kariuki, Parent
