Notes on available public information and gaps found
- The school's publicly accessible pages confirm the school's day‑school status and that an application fee (KSh 1,000) applies to IB applications, but a fully detailed, school‑published fee schedule (showing tuition per term by grade/year group, boarding fees, uniform price list, exact billing dates, published refund policy and the official list of accepted payment methods) for the 2026/27 academic year was not located in the public documents reviewed. The directory annual figures above (KSh 429,220 and KSh 519,360) are the primary available published indicators of annual tuition; the term figures given are simple three‑term divisions of those annual figures for convenience and planning.
