- Late payment: A late‑payment penalty of KES 10,000 is charged after the first day of term, plus a surcharge of 2.5% per month after the first 14 days. No remission is made for absence through illness, quarantine or leave. Parents who withdraw a child during term are liable for a full term's fees; one term's written notice is required for withdrawal or one term's fees in lieu of notice.
- Discounts: A 10% reduction applies to the second and subsequent children attending at the same time provided all such children are in Year 2 and above. An additional 5% discount is available for families who pay a full year's fees in advance.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding accommodation is mentioned as available for pupils in the school's wider material, but no boarding fee schedule is published within the school's public per‑term fee documents. Parents should expect boarding charges, deposits or additional boarding‑specific fees to be invoiced separately if boarding is arranged.

Other costs and compulsory extras

- Items explicitly excluded from the published tuition rates and likely invoiced separately (as applicable): examination fees, certain additional activities, some trips and medical costs other than routine care. Tuition does include textbooks, stationery, science equipment, art/handicraft materials, games, morning and afternoon break, lunch and most excursions/transport to away matches where stated.
- Uniforms: Uniform is compulsory for pupils from Reception upwards. A published uniform list is provided by the school; the cost of purchasing uniform items is borne by parents and is not included in the tuition amounts.
- School transport: A morning and afternoon bus service with escorts and real‑time tracking is available from fixed collection points; transport is arranged at additional cost and is charged separately to tuition.

Refunds and deposits

- The Registration and Entry fees required to secure a place are non‑refundable. Fees already paid are not remitted in cases of illness, quarantine or leave for part of a term. Withdrawal after completion of the admission procedure requires one term's written notice or payment of one term's fees in lieu of notice. These conditions form part of the school's enrolment contract.

Payment methods and how fees may be paid

- Published payment methods accepted in Kenya Shillings: cheque, cash, MPESA (mobile money) and direct transfer to the school's bank account. Bank‑transfer details and Finance Department contact information are provided by the school for fee payments.

- Registration/Entry fees secure a place and are non‑refundable; additional charges (exam fees, some trips, medical, transport, uniform purchase) are additional to the per‑term tuition.
