Admissions Procedure
Parents interested in enrolling their children at Cavina School will first have to make an enquiry online using the school enquiry tab at their official school website, or email the school’s admissions registrar, Ms. Minayo, on [email protected].
Regular school tours are conducted throughout the year for parents to see the school surroundings.
A non-refundable registration fee of Kshs7,500/- is paid to register the child, which covers the administrative costs of maintaining the waiting list. The payment of a registration fee, however, does not guarantee a place at the school.
The school only formally accepts a registration fee after the parent has toured the school, although exceptions are made for families living outside Kenya at the time of application.
