Tuition fees by year group (per term) — Academic year 2025/2026

Fees are published per term. The amounts below are the termly tuition charges for each class/ year group.

- Early years / Kindergarten
- Sparkles (1–2 years): KES 234,400 per term.
- Fireflies (2–3 years): KES 252,500 per term.
- Diamonds (3–4 years): KES 282,500 per term.

- Year 4: KES 459,100 per term.
- Year 5: KES 485,800 per term.
- Year 6: KES 515,800 per term.

- How to calculate annual tuition: fees are charged each term; multiply the termly fee above by three to arrive at the academic‑year tuition (three terms per year). Published fee totals for the 2025/2026 year correspond to a three‑term year.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Academic year structure: fees are billed termly (three terms per academic year).
- Payment timing: term fees are expected at the start of each term; published guidance for the same fee cycle notes short grace periods and a late‑payment penalty if invoices are not settled promptly. A 5% penalty per month is applied to outstanding balances after the initial grace period used by the school.
- Withdrawal and notice: one full term's written notice is required to withdraw a child; if adequate notice is not given a term's fee may be charged. The acceptance deposit is refundable on receipt of one term's written notice of leaving.

Boarding fees

- Boarding: The Vale School Muthaiga is a day school for ages 1–11 and does not operate boarding facilities; no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and optional charges

- Transport: optional school transport is available; transport charges vary by route/zone and are billed separately. Parents select and pay for transport if required.
- Meals / lunch: meal arrangements may be offered or charged depending on the program selected (day meals or optional lunch plans); meal charges can be billed termly when not included in tuition.
- Extracurriculars and trips: certain clubs, individual music lessons, special extracurricular activities and external trips are billed separately as optional charges.
- Sibling discount: a sibling discount is available; published arrangements note a 5% sibling discount on tuition for additional siblings.

Refund information

- Acceptance deposit refund: the acceptance deposit is refundable upon provision of one term's written notice of leaving.
- Withdrawal refunds: a full term's written notice is required before withdrawal to avoid being charged the subsequent term; short or absent notice generally results in liability for one term's fee.

Fee payment options

- Accepted payment methods reported for this school's fee cycle include: bank transfer (direct deposit), MPESA (mobile payment), cash, and cheque. Specific bank account or mobile payment details are provided by the school's finance office at enrolment.

Notes for budgeting

- All termly tuition figures above are for the 2025/2026 academic year fee cycle as published for the school; fees are charged per term and are commonly multiplied by three for an annual budget. Key ancillary items to allow for in addition to term tuition are transport (if required), any optional meal plans, individual music or specialist lessons, and occasional trip or examination charges.
