Sending your kid to private school in Namibia now costs more than some people make in a year. A new survey shows average yearly fees hitting sixty-one thousand eight hundred Namibian dollars for first grade and seventy-nine thousand five hundred for twelfth grade in 2026. The cheapest option runs about forty thousand a year, while the most expensive soars to one hundred sixty thousand.

Windhoek International School is the priciest, charging eighty-five thousand for first graders and a whopping one hundred sixty thousand for seniors. Other top schools include St Paul’s College, Windhoek Gymnasium, Deutsche Höhere Privatschule, and St George’s Diocesan School, with fees ranging from sixty-five to one hundred ten thousand. Coastal and smaller town schools like Walvis Bay Gymnasium and Gobabis Gymnasium are somewhat less expensive. The most affordable places are Waldorf School Windhoek and Amazing Kids Academy, with fees between thirty-five and forty-five thousand. Across the board, costs typically jump about twenty-eight percent from the lowest to the highest grade. For context, a top boarding school in South Africa charges over four hundred thousand rand. This data highlights how private education, sought for smaller classes and international curricula, remains a major financial stretch, forcing tough choices for families.
