Kenya’s most expensive schools in 2018 and their fee structures

[Kafrican]

Mimi nakubaliana na wewe katika umuhimu wa ku deliver quality education tu.

Hii list ya top high schools nimeshaiona sana katika mtandao. Kila mtu/organization anataka rank yake iwe ndio barometer ya quality education.

Ditto with top universities in the world. Kuna QS ranking na Shanghai world ranking. Yupi ni mkweli? QS anasema MIT, Shanghai anasema Harvard, ndio Number 1 duniani.

Sawa na hiyo ranking ya Afrika Kusini. Wanatumia methodology gani kupima? Kuna wengi tu nao wana rank shule, wanatafuta biashara.

Barometer yangu ya quality education ni kukubaliwa kupewa full academic scholarship in Ivy League schools nikionyesha cheti changu cha kufaulu.

Kama mwanafunzi akiweza kusoma bure top 10 universities za dunia, basi hiyo shule ina heshima automatically iwe Starehe high school au Zanaki Secondary School.

Huko ndo tunalenga, ifike wakati quality yetu iko juu hadi top 100 students wa KCSE wanapata automatic qualification ya kua sponsord na harvard, stanford, oxford......
mwaka jana tuliongoza kwa admissions into Yale. ..sijui hizo ivy league nyengine tulikuaje.

The benefits of premium education continue to be recorded in the flow of Kenyan students to top global learning universities. Kenya this year cemented its position as the top African country with the largest number of students admitted yearly to the prestigious Yale University in the United States.
Data from the university indicates that 24 Kenyan students were admitted to study at the institution this year, ahead of Nigeria’s 23, Zimbabwe (18), Ghana (17) and South Africa (16).
Kenya’s admissions to Yale comprise 17 undergraduates and seven graduates also placed the country in position 16 in the world in terms of admission to Yale.

Those buildings of St. Jude are tacky. Accept the truth. They look like buildings at a local market.

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.

IST OPENED IN 1963
The concept for IST began taking shape in 1961 as the result of an increased international outlook and an influx of international staff and their families in Dar es Salaam following Tanganyika's (later to join with Zanzibar to form the United Republic of Tanzania) independence. In 1962, a few parents began exploring the possibility of setting up an international school in Dar es Salaam. This group of parents, together with the assistance of the then Geneva-based International Schools Association, found IST in 1963.

When IST opened its doors on what was then called Cameron Road (now United Nations Road) in September of that year, it had 214 elementary-aged pupils, nine full-time and one part-time teacher, mostly recruited from within Tanzania. At the time, it was also the first international school in this half of Africa. By the end of the year, the school community had grown to 305 pupils and 15 full-time teachers.

OPENING CEREMONY
Pictured above, standing, is Dr. Michael Latham, IST's first Board Chair and one of the school’s founders, addressing the audience at IST's opening ceremony, September 20, 1963. To his left is Mr. Desmond Cole-Baker of the International School of Geneva who acted as a visiting consultant during IST's early years.
