Developed by Rendeavour, Africa's new city builder, in partnership with Wellington College, Wellington College International Kenya is the Wellington College Education family's second school in Africa, alongside Rendeavour's Wellington College International Lagos. It joins a wider network of 12 super-premium British schools spanning the UK, China, Thailand, India, Indonesia and the United States.

Wellington College International Kenya is a co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 3 to 18, attracting families locally, regionally and globally. It is set within Tatu City's 5,000 acres of lush parks, running and equestrian trails, renowned coffee estates, indigenous trees, lakes and rivers, and it will offer access to Kenya's breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, rich cultural diversity, temperate climate and remarkable athletic excellence.

Regarding his appointment, Gareth Parker-Jones said, "Wellington College International Kenya delivers a genuinely world-class education in arguably the most beautiful environment on Earth, carrying the full weight of the Wellington name. Backed by the scale, expertise and ambition of Rendeavour, Wellington Kenya is a great success story in international education, and I could not be prouder to lead it as Head of Education, Rendeavour, and Founding Master."

The appointment of Parker-Jones, who has a strong background in boarding, signals the scale of Wellington College International Kenya's ambition. Boarding will sit alongside the day school as an important part of Wellington Kenya's identity, character, community and pastoral offer from day one. This dual provision will give families the flexibility of both day and boarding options, while ensuring that the boarding experience meets the same exacting standard as that of Wellington College Education Schools around the world.
