The most EXPENSIVE schools in Nairobi...

The rich know cheap is expensive in the long run, especially if ignorance is on the cards. Their schooling thus costs pretty penny. Take Brookhouse where pre-schoolers pay Sh24, 000 per day. It costs Sh450,000 per year for a two-year old child  while  boarding and tuition in senior years that is 12-13 is Sh700,000.

This excludes Sh18,000 per term for individual music lessons and hiring music instruments and Sh37,500 for transport.Caution money alone costs Sh200,000 payable one for boarders and Sh100,000 for day scholars. It costs about Sh9.1 million to complete primary and secondary education in this elite school in Karen, Nairobi.

The curriculam is not GHC and such, but goes beyond knowing where River Nyando is on the Kenyan map. Education here is based on six pillars:   internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership and service. 

There are only two schools in Africa that are members of Round Square International, a group of schools who teaching go beyond academia. The two schools are in Kenya: Starehe Boys’ Centre and Brookhouse! Expensive schools allow for exchange programs.

 In 2009, students from Kettes College – where former British Prime Minister Tony Blair studied – “exchanged notes” with their counterparts in Kenya’s Peponi, Banda and Pembroke House Schools .
