- Term-by-term tuition amounts for Nursery, Primary and Junior High are not published in the school's publicly available fee material; these divisions operate on a term billing basis and parents are advised to observe the school's invoicing schedule when offered.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing schedule and key payment terms (Senior High examples):
- Fees are billed by term. A strict deadline is applied for fee payment; a cited deadline in Senior High communications was ON OR BEFORE 6 January (deadline example shown for the 2024/25 term cycle). Late payment attracts penalties and access to school facilities and paid activities is withheld for accounts with outstanding balances. A levy of KSh 5,000 is applied for every unpaid cheque. Failure to give one term's written notice of withdrawal may result in payment of one term's tuition fee in lieu of notice. Caution (deposit) collection/forfeiture rules apply (see Refund information).

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No current, itemised boarding fee schedule for Oshwal Academy Nairobi campuses is publicly listed in the school's published campus fee material. Boarding/hostel services are managed within the wider Oshwal Education entities (Visa Oshwal Boarding is an associated entity), and boarding charges — where relevant — are treated separately from standard day-school term tuition. Parents seeking boarding should confirm availability and pricing directly with the school or the Oshwal Education entity responsible for boarding.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- Caution / refundable deposit: Nursery and Senior communications note a caution/caution-deposit arrangement:
- Nursery: a caution fee (for Reception & IED) is collected, carried forward to Primary, and refundable when the child leaves the Academy.
- Senior: a caution deposit must be collected by the leaver within six months after clearance; unclaimed deposits after six months are deemed forfeited.

- Uniform: Uniforms are not supplied by the Primary campus; parents purchase school uniforms from recommended suppliers. Parents should budget separately for the prescribed uniform sets. School-specific uniform items and policies are published by each campus.

- Textbooks and stationery: Nursery-level basic stationery is provided by the Nursery. Primary-level texts and exercise books are provided for use and are returned at the end of the academic year; parents should expect to supply some optional personal items and pocket money.

- Optional paid activities and camps: The Nursery publishes optional activity and holiday-camp charges (examples): a July holiday camp charge of KSh 7,500 for a two‑week program and other short programs with discrete fees (e.g., swimming camp per week, skating/chess sessions). Such activity payments are charged separately from tuition and are payable via the school's MPESA paybill or other payment channels.

- Examination / exam-board fees (senior years): Expect external exam fees (IGCSE, AS/A-Level, BTEC/Pearson) to be invoiced separately for senior candidates; those are additional to the tuition figures above.

Refund information

- Caution deposit refund rules:
- Nursery: the caution fee for Reception & IED is carried forward to Primary and refundable when the child leaves the Academy.
- Senior: caution deposits must be collected by leavers within six months after school clearance; unclaimed deposits after six months will be deemed forfeited.

- Withdrawal / notice refunds and liabilities:
- A formal notice period applies; failure to give one term's notice of withdrawal may trigger a charge equal to one term's tuition in lieu of notice (Senior High communications state this requirement as a rule). Late-payment penalties and withheld access to facilities apply while accounts are in arrears.

Fee payment options and payment details

- Accepted payment channels (examples published for Senior High and used across campus communications):
- Cheque drawn in favour of Oshwal Academy Nairobi.
- RTGS / bank transfer to a designated Oshwal Academy Nairobi account (Standard Chartered Bank — account details, branch code and SWIFT cited in campus communications).
- MPESA Lipa Na MPESA using PAYBILL number 609392 with the ACCOUNT field set as the student admission number and name (MPESA paybill is used repeatedly in Nursery and campus activity payments).

- Account number: 0104422940829
- Bank: Standard Chartered

- MPESA Paybill: 609392 (use Admission Number and Student Name in account field).
- When paying by MPESA, enter the admission number and student name in the account field and keep the payment confirmation to share with the bursary.

Penalties and other payment conditions

- Late payment attracts penalties and may lead to suspension of access to facilities and paid activities until accounts are cleared. The school applies a KSh 5,000 charge for every unpaid cheque in Senior High communications and bills any late-payment penalty as soon as an account goes past the published deadline. There is an explicit deadline for term fees in published Senior High communications (example deadline ON OR BEFORE 6 January for that cycle).

Summary notes for parents (concise)

- Senior High (Years 12 and 13): term tuition figures are published (Year 12: KSh 327,000 per term; Year 13: KSh 338,500 per term) and the school accepts Cheque, RTGS/bank transfer and MPESA paybill 609392. Withdrawal requires one term's notice or payment in lieu. Refundable caution deposit rules and cheque penalties are stated in campus communications.

- Nursery / Primary / Junior: the school operates on term billing; nursery-specific deposits and activity fees are used (caution fee carried forward and refundable on leaving; optional camps and paid activities have separate charges paid via MPESA/paybill or bank). Prescribed uniforms are procured by parents from recommended suppliers and some year groups receive textbooks/stationery from the school. Detailed term-by-term tuition amounts for these divisions are not published in the available campus fee material.
