Fees RMB 24,800

Jianye International School, established in 1999 by the Jianye Residential Group (China) with an investment of 100 million yuan, is a full-time boarding school offering personalized, diversified, and international education. The school operates under the motto Be a Successful Chinese Person and aims to cultivate students with patriotism, global vision, leadership, cultural depth, and artistic and athletic literacy. The campus, located in Jianye City Garden near Zhengdong New District, is organized into administrative, teaching, living, and sport/art zones. Facilities include 40 digital, multifunctional classrooms; province-leading physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories; high-standard dormitories; a provincially designated first-class student cafeteria; music and art rooms; a multifunctional hall; a gym; a library; a Guoxue Hall (Chinese Classics Hall); a STEAM center; and a psychological counseling center. The sports area features a 400-meter synthetic track, an indoor gym, a standard football field, a baseball field, and courts for tennis, basketball, badminton, and table tennis. Extra-curricular spaces support music, visual arts, and cultural education.

Application fees

- No separate application or enrolment fee is listed in the school's approved public fee schedule for the applicable period; there is no government-approved standalone “application fee” amount published for the 2026/27 academic year.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)

- Standard secondary (regular school programme): RMB 24,800 per student per academic year. This amount is billed on an annual basis; no per-term tuition amount is published in the approved fee schedule.

- Special/admissions-tiered or programme-specific fees: certain international or priority-entry streams are charged at higher rates; published admissions materials and local admissions listings show programme-dependent annual fees that can be materially higher (examples reported in public admissions notices range from roughly RMB 30,000 up to RMB 53,800 per year for some premium or score-graded places). These higher, programme-specific figures are separate from the standard approved tuition amount and vary by intake/selection criteria.

- Per-term amounts are not specified in the official annual approval; tuition is assessed and collected per academic year rather than by term.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition and boarding fees are charged and collected on a per-academic-year basis. Fees must not be collected across academic years (no cross-year pre-collection). The school operates a “new-student / returning-student” fee implementation arrangement (i.e., different rules may apply to newly enrolled students versus continuing students).

- The approved fee level cited above is effective under the documented approval period; the approved approach requires the school to publicly post and follow the announced fee items and standards.

Boarding fees

- Boarding (dormitory) fee: RMB 2,250 per student per academic year.

- Dormitory provisioning: boarding facilities are described as full-board/residential with dorm furnishing and support; school materials and public descriptions note dormitory bedding, toiletries and seasonal school uniforms are provided for boarders. (Parents should expect on-campus catering/meal charges, bedding/mattress provisioning practices, and dorm management charges to be handled through the boarding arrangement or as separate modest items.)

Other costs and typical additional charges

- In addition to the approved tuition and boarding fees, families should expect additional charges that are commonly collected by schools (textbooks and teaching materials, school uniform items not included in boarding, daily meals or meal plans, extracurricular activities, examination or performance fees, student insurance, and occasional incidental charges). Those extra items and amounts are not itemised in the single annual tuition/boarding approval and are typically charged as actuals or collected separately.

- One-off or programme-specific deposits, campus construction or registration-related charges for particular programmes may be required for certain specialised streams; such one-off charges are programme-dependent and appear in some admissions notices for upgraded or priority programmes.

Refund information

- The approved tuition/boarding decision specifies annual collection rules but does not publish a line-by-line refund table. Refunds are handled under the school's operational and local education/finance rules; commonly applied local practice is to prorate or refund unused portions according to local education department and institutional refund rules (for example, many local education/college policies describe monthly or stepwise prorating for students who withdraw, and provincial/municipal refund rules apply to new-student non-attendance). No detailed, itemised refund schedule for every circumstance is published in the school's fee-approval notice.

Fee payment options and instructions

- The approved fee notification does not itemise payment channels. Standard local practice for comparable Chinese schools is to require payment through the school's designated channels (campus payment platform, specified bank transfer or campus payment account); many schools accept bank transfer, campus online payment portals, and in some cases mobile payment methods that are supported by the school's official payment platform. Parents should use the school's official, school-designated payment channel when completing payments.

Short operational notes for parents

- For the 2026/27 academic year, the authoritative approved annual amounts to use when recording fees are: Tuition: RMB 24,800 per year; Boarding (if used): RMB 2,250 per year. Tuition and boarding are billed per academic year and not per term. Programme-specific or premium streams may charge materially higher annual tuition; any additional charges for meals, textbooks, uniforms, insurance or activity fees are typically billed separately.

Summary of search findings and remaining gaps: the school's official fee approval lists the annual standard tuition and boarding rates (RMB 24,800 and RMB 2,250) and requires annual billing and “new-student/returning-student” treatment. Public admissions material and local listings show that premium or programme-specific places can carry higher annual tuition. The published approval does not list a distinct application fee, per-term instalment amounts, an itemised list of all additional charges (textbooks, meal plans, uniforms) or the school's precise payment account details and step-by-step refund table; those items are handled as programme-specific or by the school's designated payment and administrative procedures.

Application fees

Tuition fees (by programme and year group)

- Australian curriculum (WACE) – International high school pathway: RMB 39,000 per academic year; charged on an academic‑year basis (equivalent to RMB 19,500 per semester when the year is split into two semesters).

- Years 10–11 (U.S. / specialty pathway): RMB 53,000 per academic year (equivalent to RMB 26,500 per semester).

- Other programmes (IGCSE / A‑Level / mixed tracks): Fees vary by programme and year group; where specific per‑year figures for those streams are published they will be listed separately by programme. The school operates multiple international programme tracks with different fee levels.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing cadence: Tuition and boarding fees are charged on an academic‑year basis and are not to be prepaid across academic years; the school implements academic‑year billing (schools in the city are required to follow this practice). Fees are commonly payable either in full for the academic year or by semester in advance of the relevant term. Late payment typically results in administrative restrictions on student services until the account is cleared.

- Due dates and instalments: Fees due dates are set by the school before term start; the school offers semester billing (two instalments per year) in practice for the programmes above (the per‑semester figures shown above follow that split). Parents are expected to settle fees by the published deadline to avoid administrative penalties.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- Boarding status: The school operates as a boarding school (full/majority boarding provision) and provides on‑campus accommodation and catering services for enrolled students.

- Boarding fee amount: No single, separate published boarding‑fee figure for the school's international programmes is provided in the publicly available fee summaries reviewed. Boarding, catering and life‑service charges may either be included in a programme's published tuition figure or invoiced as a distinct charge depending on the programme and the family's chosen options (full board, meal plan, single/double room, etc.). Families should plan for additional accommodation and catering costs when budgeting.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- Textbooks and core learning materials: May be included in the tuition for some programmes but are often listed separately for specific courses or year groups; expect per‑year charges for consumable materials where applicable.

- National/international exam and testing fees: External exam fees (AP/SAT/IELTS/雅思/SACE/WACE/国际考试报名费), university application fees, college entrance testing and proctoring fees are charged separately and are not included in base tuition. Budget separately for test registration, proctoring and related application charges.

- Uniforms, activity fees and instruments: Uniform purchase, optional activity fees, instrument hire or music exam fees and some co‑curricular costs are charged in addition to tuition where applicable.

- Meals and daily living: If boarding fees do not fully include catering, meal plans or cafeteria charges will be invoiced separately. Expect regular cafeteria or meal plan charges for boarding students.

- Visa, medical, insurance and travel costs: For students intending to study abroad or participate in overseas exchanges, visa fees, required medical checks, insurance and travel are additional and charged separately.

Refund information

- Refund principles: Refunds for tuition and boarding fees follow local education and pricing regulations. When a student withdraws, school fees and accommodation fees are typically refunded on a pro‑rata basis calculated by months remaining in the academic period (an academic year is commonly calculated as 10 months and a semester as 5 months for pro‑rata calculations in local practice). Some administrative and registration charges are non‑refundable. Schools process approved refunds back to the payer by standard financial channels.

Fee payment options

- Common accepted payment methods: Domestic bank transfer to the school's designated account, online payment (school payment portal / campus payment platform), WeChat Pay and Alipay QR payments, and in some cases in‑person payment at the campus finance office. Overseas families can typically pay by international bank transfer (SWIFT) where the school provides foreign‑currency account details. Official receipts are issued upon payment.

- Billing documentation and receipts: The school issues formal invoices/receipts for each payment and maintains an account statement for enrolled students; parents should retain receipts for proof of payment and any future refund or scholarship processing.

Notes for budgeting parents

- Total household budget should include published tuition for the chosen programme (see figures above), an allowance for boarding and meal charges if not fully included, exam and application fees, uniforms and materials, and contingency for optional activities or overseas travel. The school runs multiple programme tracks with different fee levels; confirm the programme code when reviewing the invoice to match the correct published rate.
