Pink Tower International School is a private Cambridge-curriculum preparatory school in Lavington, Nairobi, for learners roughly aged 5 to 12. It is not a CBC school, so K3 and Years 1–6 on this page are British-style year groups, not Kenyan grades. The school publishes a Fee Structure Academic Year 2026–2027 (PDF). The PDF we used was created on 17 July 2026. Every figure below comes from that sheet. Accurate as of October 2026.
Scope of this sheet. It covers the preparatory school only (K3 through Year 6). It does not list Early Years below K3, secondary fees, transport routes, lunch, books or activity fees. The school’s marketing copy compares itself with other IAPS British-curriculum schools on price; that claim is theirs, not ours. We report only what the fee PDF prints.

Tuition per Term, 2026/2027, KSh
| Year | Term 1 | Term 2 | Term 3 | Year (our sum) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K3 | 140,000 | 140,000 | 140,000 | 420,000 |
| Years 1 and 2 | 185,000 | 185,000 | 185,000 | 555,000 |
| Year 3 | 195,000 | 195,000 | 195,000 | 585,000 |
| Year 4 | 205,000 | 205,000 | 205,000 | 615,000 |
| Year 5 | 215,000 | 215,000 | 215,000 | 645,000 |
| Year 6 | 225,000 | 225,000 | 225,000 | 675,000 |
Fees are flat across the three terms in every year group. Each step from Year 1 to Year 6 adds KSh 10,000 a term (KSh 30,000 a year), except the jump from K3 to Year 1, which adds KSh 45,000 a term. The sheet also says tuition may be paid in US dollars at the prevailing market rate; the Kenya-shilling figures above are what the PDF prints. The last column is our own sum — the sheet does not print yearly totals.
Admission and Annual Charges
- Admission fee (new students): KSh 20,000, non-refundable.
- Admission fee (Pitch students): KSh 10,000, non-refundable. The sheet does not define “Pitch”. Ask the school whether that lower fee applies to your child before you budget the full KSh 20,000.
- Medical and ambulance (emergency cover): KSh 7,000 per year.
There is no caution or deposit line on this sheet, and no activity, lunch or transport table. Treat those as possible extras until the school confirms what is and is not included in tuition. That gap matters when you compare Pink Tower with schools that itemise lunch and books.
How to Pay
Fees must be banked directly. The sheet states clearly: we do not accept cash payments. Account name: Pink Tower International School Limited. Kenya-shilling account 1003028001561 at Middle East Bank, Milimani branch (bank code 018, branch code 003, SWIFT MIEKKENA). M-Pesa paybill 839900, with account number 1003028001561.
Two First-Year Examples
A new K3 learner: 420,000 tuition + 20,000 admission + 7,000 medical = KSh 447,000 in the first year (our sum).
A new Year 1 learner: 555,000 + 20,000 + 7,000 = KSh 582,000. A Year 6 year of tuition alone is KSh 675,000 before admission and medical. Uniform, lunch, books, transport and any activity fees sit on top of those totals if the school charges them separately.
How It Compares
- Pink Tower Year 1: KSh 555,000 tuition a year.
- Rose of Sharon Academy Cambridge Stage 1: about KSh 398,900 tuition (plus annual charges and books on that sheet).
- Riara International Year 1: KSh 535,500 (lunch and exercise books included on that sheet).
- Nairobi International School Year 1: KSh 705,000 tuition (inclusions not stated on the NIS sheet).
- Rusinga Year 1: KSh 792,000.
Among Lavington and nearby Cambridge / British prep options on this site, Pink Tower sits near Riara International on Year 1 tuition, with a thinner published extras list. Ask what lunch and books cost before you treat the tuition figure as a full budget. More schools are on the fees hub.
