Questions
Questions parents ask.
What age can my child start?
Nursery takes children from three. Reception is for five-year-olds, and children join Lower primary from six.
Is there an entrance exam?
No. For younger children we hold a relaxed play-day; older children do a short reading and number activity. It helps us place them, not reject them.
Do you help with school transport?
Yes. Sample routes run in three zones, priced per term. Choose a zone in the fee calculator.
Can I pay by mobile money?
Yes: M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money or HaloPesa to the school paybill number, or by bank transfer. Fees can be paid termly.
What if my child has extra learning needs?
Tell us on the enquiry form. We will talk before an offer is made, so that we can be honest about what we can support.
