Admission to The Nyambaria School

Form 1 admission to The Nyambaria School runs through the Ministry of Education's NEMIS national placement system. As a national school, Nyambaria draws boarders from every county in Kenya, with learners placed based on their KCPE performance and school-choice ranking — there is no separate application to the school itself.

Once placed, successful applicants download their official placement letter from the NEMIS portal, prepare the standard reporting checklist, and report to the school on the official date communicated by the school office. The sections below walk through what NEMIS-placed learners and their parents or guardians need to know.
