Established in the 1950s, Kilimani Primary School is a prominent public day school in Nairobi that has evolved into a regional model for inclusive education. Located on Argwings Kodhek Road, it serves approximately 1,100 students and is recognized for its specialized integrated units for the visually impaired and deaf-blind, supported by partnerships with organizations like the Perkins School for the Blind. While the school has faced challenges such as aging infrastructure and a high student-to-teacher ratio following the introduction of free primary education, recent government-led efforts have focused on revamping facilities, including the perimeter wall and multi-purpose hall. The institution emphasizes a holistic learning experience, blending the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) with extracurricular opportunities in sports, music, and vocational agriculture to equip learners for diverse future pathways.
