This is a list of Most Expensive Schools in Kenya. Education is seen as the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. However, in Kenya, some of the ‘passports’ come at a cost that is enough to buy you a parcel of land and set up a nice bungalow upcountry. Parents with vast resources, spare no cent to ensure their children get any advantage they can early in life, which translates to enrolling them in the most elite schools in the country. Expensive Schools in Kenya

THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF KENYA

The International School of Kenya was founded in 1976 through a partnership between the United States of America and Canada. The learning institution is situated in Kitusuru on a forty-acre former coffee plantation.

The International School of Kenya (ISK) is an international school for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 located on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in 1976 and has a 25 hectare campus. The grounds used to be a large coffee plantation, and today, only a few of the original buildings remain. Students can study for a North American high school diploma or the International Baccalaureate Diploma. The institution is accredited by the MSA, and is the largest international school in Nairobi. ISK is a member of the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA), The Council of International Schools and Round Square

International School of Kenya was ranked 7th out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility

The annual tuition rates include; Pre-Kindergarten $16243,Kindergarten $25713,grade one to five $27129,grade six to eight $28349,grade nine to ten $29950,grade eleven to twelve $31142,bus fees$2200 and application fees $400. Some of their co-curriculum activities include Lacrosse, photography, gardening, debates and basketball. With their multi-million dollar facility, top-tier education and opportunities offered after studies, the prices are justified.

Organization

The school formed from the 210293 Nairobi International School (NIS), but financial troubles prompted the United States Embassy and Canadian High Commission to take over operations of the school in 1976, renaming it the International School of Kenya. ISK, as it is more commonly known, is divided into three schools: the Elementary School that teaches students from pre-kindergarten to grade 5, the Middle School, which teaches grades 6-8, and the High School that teaches grades 9-12.

Each school has its own principal and counselor, and largely its own teaching staff, though some subject staff are shared. Teachers are predominantly from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Facilities

Each school has classrooms and recreational areas, while the three schools share libraries, cafeteria, and facilities for sports and the arts. The Arts Center is acclaimed as the best theatre facility in Nairobi. The school has a gymnasium, heated outdoor swimming pool, and playing fields. In 2006, a construction project was started to expand the high school. It was completed in December 2007, and students were moved in the following month.

School sports include basketball, rugby, football, tennis, volleyball, track and field, and swimming. Every year high school students participate in the international ISSEA tournaments for all sports and STEM fields.

The school is located on the outskirts of Nairobi at the end of Peponi Road and is surrounded by coffee plantations.

Students

The student body of over 950 represents some 65 different nationalities. Around a quarter are American, with Kenyan, British, Canadian, Swedish and Dutch nationalities following in representation.

Notable alumni

Notable alumni of ISK include:

  • Dan Eldon, English photojournalist
  • Karen Graham, Canadian author and dietitian
