Abstract
There have been a lot of arguments about the impact finances have on academic performance especially in private schools. I was therefore to find out the many allegations on private schools, such as charging high fees, mismanagement of finances and producing poor results. These allegations are not made by parents only but even by some of the people in authority. The biggest allegations are about finances and this has been believed to greatly affect the performance of these schools. Chapter one of this report contains the introduction in which private schools are defined as those institutions, which do not receive grants from the government. The literature reviewed also gave some insight in the problem that finances affect the academic performance of private schools. It also cited some other factors not related to finances which may also affect performance of private schools. These are religions and age of the school. The chapter contains a null hypothesis that there is no relationship between finance and academic performance of school private schools. It ends up with the limitations of the study
