Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are charged on a termly basis (three terms per academic year) and quoted term amounts above reflect the common reporting format (per term). Parents are required to pay fees by the start of each term; termly payment is the reported billing rhythm in the available summaries. Specific published due dates, late‑payment penalties, or detailed installment plans are not available in the public materials reviewed.

Boarding fees
- Not applicable. Rosslyn Academy operates as a day school; there is no routine boarding program or boarding fee for students.

Other costs and recurring extras
- School bus/transport: the school operates a bus service; bus fees are charged separately. Exact route‑zone pricing and term amounts are provided by the school's transport office when parents apply for bus service. Students suspended from bus service are not entitled to a refund for the suspended period.
- Meals, snacks and some co‑curricular activities: third‑party summaries report that tuition commonly covers snacks, lunch, co‑curricular activities and some excursions for certain year groups; this varies by grade level and the reported fee band. Confirmed itemization and which year groups have meals included are not published in a single public fee sheet available to reviewers.
- Textbooks, damaged/lost book fines and incidental fines: textbooks are school property and parents are charged for replacement or damage; fines for lost locks, damaged property and missing textbooks are enforced and must be paid before records are released. Example fine: KES 500 for a lost locker lock is referenced in school policies.
- Uniforms and personal supplies: uniform and personal school supplies are additional to tuition; specific uniform pricing is not published in the materials reviewed.

Refund information
- Acceptance/placement deposits: some third‑party summaries report a refundable security deposit component (figures reported in summaries vary); other admission charges (for example the registration fee) are reported as non‑refundable. Exact refund conditions, timelines, and what portion (if any) of acceptance deposits are refundable are not included in a single public fee schedule available to reviewers. The school's published policies note circumstances where refunds are not issued for particular services (for example bus suspension).

Payment methods and fee payment options
- Specific published details of accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit card, mobile money) were not located in the public materials reviewed. Parents should use the school's finance office or admissions office for the available payment channels and any bank account or invoicing instructions.

Summary of findings and limitations
- Rosslyn Academy is a day school and does not charge boarding fees. The school's official parent/student materials reviewed (2025–2026 handbooks and profiles) do not contain a single public, itemized 2025/26 or 2026/27 fee schedule with confirmed line‑by‑line charges; consequently the termly figures above are taken from recent third‑party fee summaries and media reporting that present indicative per‑term ranges and reported admission deposits. Third‑party summaries show consistent termly ranges across sources but differ on precise amounts and on whether certain charges are refundable. Where an exact, official line item or up‑to‑date published fee table was required, that full public schedule was not located in the documents reviewed.

Nationalities represented: numerous; most common nationality is American (41%). Kenyan local share 35%; international share 65%; local:international ratio approximately 7:13. Total students about 675.
