Kenyans were left clutching their chests after Pembroke House School shared photos of students arriving to school in a chartered plane.
“The Pembroke House School, Kenya charter flight arrival yesterday with some of our returning students! #ExcitingTimes #FriendsReunited #LetTheLearningBegin #PrepSchool #Kenya #WelcomeBack,” read the post which has attracted over 1,000 comments.
A chartered flight is just one of the perks of studying in the prestigious school Terryanne Chebet’s daughter attends.
Students in this school enjoy activities like Fishing, Scrapbooking, Yoga, Fine Art Colouring, Synchronised Swimming and horse-riding lessons which cost Sh22,150 per term. Students in this school also sit for the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) exams.
The basic school fees per term can range from Sh87,500 for Pre-Nursery & Nursery students and Sh784,800 for years 3-8.
