Choosing a private school in Homa Bay County means weighing tuition against what's actually included — boarding, meals, activities, and the quality of teaching behind them. This guide walks through how Sikri Academy's fees are structured for the 2026 academic year, what's covered at each level, and how to pay, so you can budget with confidence rather than guesswork.

How Fees Are Structured

Like most private schools in Kenya, Sikri Academy's fees are billed per term across the school year, with three terms running from Playgroup through Grade 9. Fees are grouped by level because the resources, staffing, and facilities involved differ significantly between our youngest learners and our Junior Secondary candidates:

  • Playgroup to Grade 3 — one combined fee schedule covering ECDE and Lower Primary
  • Grade 4 to Grade 9 (Day) — one combined schedule for Upper Primary and Junior Secondary day learners
  • Boarding — a separate boarding fee added on top of the day tuition from Grade 4

You can download the current, exact fee schedule for your child's level — along with the uniform price list and term requirements — from our Fees & Payments page. We publish these as downloadable documents rather than fixed figures on the website because schedules are reviewed and confirmed at the start of each academic year.

What's Included in Tuition

Fees at Sikri go toward more than classroom time. Every learner's tuition contributes to:

  • CBC delivery — trained teachers, learning materials and continuous assessment aligned to Kenya's Competency Based Curriculum
  • Co-curricular activities — football, athletics, swimming, music, chess, scouting and more, run as part of the programme rather than as paid extras
  • Health and welfare — a school health clinic and pastoral supervision for both day and boarding learners
  • Assessment support — mock exams and structured revision ahead of national assessments, including KJSEA for Grade 9

Boarding fees additionally cover accommodation, meals planned by qualified nutritionists, supervised study halls, and housemasters and matrons on duty. See our guide to boarding at Sikri for a full breakdown of what boarding life includes.

Payment Options

Tuition can be paid in full at the start of the academic year, or in three instalments at the beginning of each term. We accept payment in Kenyan Shillings through the following channels:

  • M-Pesa Paybill (KCB) — Business Number 522123, Account Number 57799K + child's name
  • Bank Transfer (KCB) — Account Number 1181385938, Account Name SIKRI JUNIOR ACADEMY
  • M-Pesa Paybill (Equity) — Paybill Number 247247, Account Number 731731# + child's name
  • Bank Transfer (Equity) — Account Number 1500277412131, Account Name SIKRI JUNIOR ACADEMY

Always use your child's full name as the payment reference so our finance office can identify and credit your account quickly. For a custom payment arrangement or any billing query, contact us directly on +254 716 263 244 or info@sikriacademy.sc.ke.

Weighing Value, Not Just Cost

The lowest fee isn't always the best deal for your child. When comparing private schools across Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori and Kisii, it's worth asking what's actually bundled into the termly fee — class sizes, the range of co-curricular activities, whether boarding supervision is included, and how consistently the school has delivered strong KJSEA and national assessment results. A school that bundles sports, music, health cover and structured exam preparation into its fees is often better value than one that charges less up front and adds costs later.
