Central region

Kiambu The densest private school market outside Nairobi, and dairy co-operative parents who are paid by the month. Thika · Ruiru · Kikuyu · Limuru
Read the Kiambu page
Kirinyaga Mwea rice pays twice a year in a lump after milling, which fits a three term fee calendar badly. Kerugoya · Kutus · Sagana · Wanguru
Read the Kirinyaga page
Murang'a Boarding is the tradition here, which leaves parents with no daily contact and no way to ask a small question. Murang'a town · Kenol · Kangema · Kandara
Read the Murang'a page
Nyandarua A steady monthly milk cheque next to a lumpy potato harvest, and long cold journeys between schools. Ol Kalou · Njabini · Engineer · Mairo Inya
Read the Nyandarua page
Nyeri Boarding schools with a national intake, and the admissions load that arrives with it. Nyeri town · Karatina · Othaya · Mukurweini
Read the Nyeri page
Coast region

Kilifi International schools on the coast strip and large rural day schools inland, sometimes under the same board. Kilifi town · Malindi · Watamu · Mtwapa
Read the Kilifi page
Kwale Retention is the real problem here, so knowing which learner is slipping matters more than knowing who owes. Kwale town · Ukunda · Diani · Msambweni
Read the Kwale page
Lamu An archipelago, so a learner travels by boat and a parent may be on another island entirely. Lamu town · Mokowe · Mpeketoni · Faza
Read the Lamu page
Mombasa Household income rises and falls with the tourist season and the port, so the fee year has a shape. Mombasa Island · Nyali · Bamburi · Likoni
Read the Mombasa page
Taita Taveta Hills, plains and a border town, with school journeys that cross long empty stretches between them. Voi · Wundanyi · Taveta · Mwatate
Read the Taita Taveta page
Tana River Flooding interrupts the term, and irrigation farmers and pastoralists share the same catchment. Hola · Garsen · Bura · Madogo
Read the Tana River page
Eastern region

Embu Co-operative payments arrive on a known cycle, so a well timed instalment beats a demand letter. Embu town · Runyenjes · Siakago · Manyatta
Read the Embu page
Isiolo A transit county with a mobile catchment, so learners arrive and leave part way through a term. Isiolo town · Merti · Garbatulla · Kinna
Read the Isiolo page
Kitui The person paying the fees is frequently a relative in Nairobi, not the parent who dropped the learner off. Kitui town · Mwingi · Mutomo · Kwa Vonza
Read the Kitui page
Machakos Academies growing fast on the Nairobi edge, where the office breaks long before the classrooms fill. Machakos town · Athi River · Mlolongo · Syokimau
Read the Machakos page
Makueni A good fruit season lets a household clear a whole year at once, if the school can hold the credit properly. Wote · Makindu · Emali · Kibwezi
Read the Makueni page
Marsabit Enormous distances and mobile households, so the phone is the only realistic link between school and parent. Marsabit town · Moyale · Loiyangalani · Laisamis
Read the Marsabit page
Meru A cash heavy local economy, which makes the money taken at the office window the thing that needs controlling. Meru town · Maua · Nkubu · Timau
Read the Meru page
Tharaka Nithi Wet slopes and dry lowlands in one county, so two schools under one board can face opposite problems. Chuka · Chogoria · Marimanti · Kathwana
Read the Tharaka Nithi page
North Eastern region

Garissa A regional hub serving families spread across a very wide radius, on a calendar the school sets itself. Garissa town · Dadaab · Masalani · Modogashe
Read the Garissa page
Mandera Staff turnover is the real risk, so the school must keep working when the person who knew everything leaves. Mandera town · Elwak · Rhamu · Takaba
Read the Mandera page
Wajir Learners leave with the herd and come back, and a school needs the returning one to pick up where they stopped. Wajir town · Habaswein · Griftu · Bute
Read the Wajir page
Nyanza region

Homa Bay Lake income is daily and volatile, so a family can be behind one week and clear the next. Homa Bay town · Mbita · Oyugis · Kendu Bay
Read the Homa Bay page
Kisii Families invest heavily in extras, so trips, tuition, exams and uniforms are a real second ledger. Kisii town · Ogembo · Suneka · Nyamache
Read the Kisii page
Kisumu A city academy and a rural day school half an hour apart, on completely different fee structures. Kisumu city · Ahero · Maseno · Muhoroni
Read the Kisumu page
Migori Fee income arrives unevenly, which makes controlling what the school spends the more urgent half of the job. Migori town · Isebania · Rongo · Awendo
Read the Migori page
Nyamira Smaller schools that still need proper accounts, without a finance department to run them. Nyamira town · Keroka · Nyansiongo · Ekerenyo
Read the Nyamira page
Siaya A large share of learners are supported by a guardian or a sponsor rather than by one parent at home. Siaya town · Bondo · Ugunja · Yala
Read the Siaya page
Rift Valley region

Baringo Books and equipment are among the few things a school here owns outright, and replacing them is expensive. Kabarnet · Eldama Ravine · Marigat · Mogotio
Read the Baringo page
Bomet The tea bonus lands by mid October, and that one date is worth more than a term of reminders. Bomet town · Sotik · Longisa · Mulot
Read the Bomet page
Elgeyo Marakwet Escarpment roads down to the Kerio Valley, where the school run is a real safety question. Iten · Kapsowar · Chepkorio · Tot
Read the Elgeyo Marakwet page
Kajiado A commuter belt academy and a Loitokitok boarding school under one board, sharing almost nothing. Kitengela · Ongata Rongai · Isinya · Kajiado town
Read the Kajiado page
Kericho Estate families move, so learners transfer mid year and the record has to travel with them. Kericho town · Litein · Kipkelion · Londiani
Read the Kericho page
Laikipia Many schools here answer to a trust or a funder, and a funder asks harder questions than a parent. Nanyuki · Nyahururu · Rumuruti · Doldol
Read the Laikipia page
Nakuru Employers here pay fees for staff children, which means the school invoices a company as well as a parent. Nakuru city · Naivasha · Gilgil · Molo
Read the Nakuru page
Nandi A large share of parents are on a monthly estate payslip, so fees can be matched to a pay date that never moves. Kapsabet · Nandi Hills · Mosoriot · Kabiyet
Read the Nandi page
Narok Commercial wheat farmers and pastoralist households in one classroom, on entirely different terms. Narok town · Kilgoris · Ntulele · Ololulunga
Read the Narok page
Samburu Salaried conservancy and lodge families sit alongside livestock households in the same catchment. Maralal · Baragoi · Archers Post · Wamba
Read the Samburu page
Trans Nzoia A monthly dairy trickle and one annual harvest lump, which no single fee deadline fits. Kitale · Kiminini · Endebess · Saboti
Read the Trans Nzoia page
Turkana Learners often arrive with no paperwork, so the school builds the record from nothing. Lodwar · Kakuma · Lokichar · Lokichogio
Read the Turkana page
Uasin Gishu Eldoret boarding rolls, which means a kitchen, a store and a supply chain as well as a classroom. Eldoret · Turbo · Moiben · Ziwa
Read the Uasin Gishu page
West Pokot Schools here employ and pay a lot of their own staff, which makes payroll the biggest number they manage. Kapenguria · Makutano · Chepareria · Sigor
Read the West Pokot page
Western region

Bungoma Several children from one household in the same school, and cane money that arrives long after the crop is cut. Bungoma town · Webuye · Kimilili · Chwele
Read the Bungoma page
Busia Border trade income, so fees arrive in small amounts several times a week rather than once. Busia town · Malaba · Nambale · Funyula
Read the Busia page
Kakamega Large day school rolls, with fees arriving in thousands of small instalments rather than one payment a term. Kakamega town · Mumias · Malava · Butere
Read the Kakamega page
Vihiga One of the densest catchments in Kenya, which turns exams and reporting into the real administrative load. Mbale · Luanda · Majengo · Chavakali

The same everywhere
What does not change from county to county
Every one of the 47 pages describes something local, because running a school in Kericho really is different from running one in Lamu. The platform, the price and the setup are the same.
- From as low as KES 4,060 a month for your school, with every module included.
- M-Pesa and any bank in Kenya posting straight against the right learner, with a receipt anyone can verify.
- CBC/CBE, 8-4-4, Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and British and Montessori in the same school, each set up properly.
- Learner records ready for KEMIS.
- Setup, migration from Excel and training, done with you by our own team.
Wherever your school is, it is the same conversation
