Kings International Academy is a Christian private CBC school in Fedha, off Outering Road in Embakasi, Nairobi. It runs from daycare to Grade 9. Despite the name, it follows the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum set by KICD, not an international one. The school publishes its 2026 fee structure on its website, with termly tables for each section. All figures below come from that page and are accurate as of October 2026.
The page also gives the 2026 term dates: Term 1 from 6 January to 2 April, Term 2 from 28 April to 31 July, and Term 3 from 24 August to 22 October.

The page notes that daycare trips are optional at KSh 2,500 a term, so the published daycare totals appear to be the bill without those options. Daycare is also available weekly (KSh 2,250) or daily (KSh 450). Minimum entry ages are 3 years for Reception and 4 for PP1.

A First-Year Example
A new Grade 7 learner pays KSh 164,600 in termly fees + 1,000 interview + 3,500 admission + 10,000 caution + 15,000 book fund = KSh 194,100, before uniform, stationery, clubs and transport. This is our arithmetic.
How It Compares
Public junior schools are funded through capitation and charge day learners no tuition (JSS fees and capitation). In east Nairobi, compare City Rose Academy on Kangundo Road, where a Junior School year costs KSh 150,500. See private CBC school fees for the wider range and the fees hub for every school we have checked.
