Tuition (per term) — Year groups - KES 75,000 per term — Year 1. - KES 80,000 per term — Year 2. - KES 85,000 per term — Year 3. - KES 90,000 per term — Year 4. - KES 95,000 per term — Year 5. - KES 100,000 per term — Year 6. - KES 110,000 per term — Year 7. - KES 120,000 per term — Year 8.
Annual tuition (calculation used) - Annual tuition = per-term tuition × number of academic terms in the school year. The published fee schedule lists the amounts as “per term.” The school operates a three-term academic year (Autumn, Spring and Summer), so annual tuition is the per-term fee multiplied by three (for example, Year 1 annual tuition = KES 75,000 × 3 = KES 225,000).
One‑off / admission and security charges - Admission fee (payable once on admission): KES 10,000. - Maintenance fee (payable once): KES 5,000. - Caution fee (payable once; refundable): KES 10,000 (refundable).
Meals and co-curricular extras - Hot vegetarian lunch: KES 15,000 (listed alongside fees). - A range of co‑curricular activities (football, art club, netball, science club, film club, music club, Le Club Français, karate, board games, reading club, cooking club, multiskills) are listed as offered; costs for individual activities beyond the lunch charge are not itemised in the published fee schedule.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is stated as a per-term charge; the per-term amounts above are the unit of billing. Annual billing for the academic year is conventionally calculated as three terms per year (annual amount = per-term × 3). Specific due dates, instalment deadlines, late‑payment penalties, or discounts are not listed in the published fee schedule.
Boarding fees - No boarding fees are included in the published fee schedule and no boarding charges are listed in the materials available with the fee schedule. If boarding is required, separate boarding fees would apply but are not published in the current fee schedule.
Uniform and supplier - A supplier is identified for school uniform items; the published fee schedule does not list uniform prices. The school's published links point to an external uniform supplier used by the school. Uniform item prices are not itemised in the fee schedule.
Refund information - The caution fee is explicitly marked refundable: KES 10,000 (refundable). No further refund policy (for tuition, maintenance fee, lunch, or other charges) is detailed in the published fee schedule.
Fee payment options - The published fee schedule does not list accepted payment methods or bank details. The school's public contact details (telephone and email) are provided for enquiries. Parents should use the school contact telephone numbers or the school email address for payment‑method instructions and for arranging payments.
Notes on missing items in the published fee schedule (summary) - The published fee schedule provides per-term tuition for Years 1–8 and the one‑off admission/maintenance/caution charges, plus a lunch charge, but it does not provide: specific payment due dates or instalment schedules, detailed payment methods (bank account numbers, M‑Pesa, card acceptance), boarding fees, itemised uniform prices, or a full refund policy for tuition and other non‑caution charges. These items are not published in the available fee document.
