Boarding / Hostel Fees - No boarding or hostel fee line items are published in the school's 2026–27 fee structure; the published fee schedule and school facilities listing show day‑school services (including transport) but do not list boarding/hostel charges. Therefore, boarding is not applicable in the published fee schedule.

(Uniform and book lists are available as separate items on the school's published materials.) Refund Information - The 2026–27 fee schedule document does not include a published refund policy or explicit refund terms within the fee schedule PDF. No refund terms are shown in the fee breakdown pages. Fee Payment Options - Accepted payment methods (as published in the school's admissions/payment guidance): cheque, bank transfer, or digital payment. Parents are required to confirm admission by paying the initial fee within the timeframe specified by admissions. Key administrative points to note - All amounts above are shown in Indian rupees (INR). Monthly totals and the calculated annual totals are based on the school's monthly billing breakdown for the 2026–27 academic session. - The fee schedule includes specific monthly totals (particular months may include one‑time admission or term charges such as annual charge, diary/ID, computer lab charges, or examination fees); these appear in the April (admission) and certain term months as shown in the monthly breakdown. (Where annual totals are presented above, each total is the sum of the monthly totals listed for that year group in the school's 2026–27 monthly fee breakdown; the annual totals are therefore calculated from the school's monthly billing rows.)

Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions Rolling admissions: After the online application and the required documents are received, candidates are invited to spend a day at the school as soon as possible to become acquainted with the school and to take entrance examinations in mathematics, English, and Russian/Uzbek languages. They will participate in an interview with academic heads and have the opportunity to ask questions. The Admissions Committee meets weekly to review dossiers and completed tests. There are four possible outcomes: Acceptance; Deferral (due to significant competition—for example quotas or late receipt of grade reports or transcripts; the Committee reviews all relevant dossiers at a later time; parents are informed of the waiting time and the date of reconsideration); Waitlist (when all places for the next year are allocated, candidates at the corresponding level are placed on the waiting list and may be admitted as places become available, often in autumn, but sometimes in winter); Rejection (candidates who are not admitted may reapply the next year). To improve chances, applicants are strongly advised to apply as early as possible from March. Documents submitted after August 15 are still considered by the Admissions Committee, which decides whether to place candidates on the waiting list or reject admission. Documentation submission: Fill the online application form; If the link does not work, download the necessary documents: Registration form for Primary, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary (IGCSE), or Upper Secondary (A-level), or request them from the registrar. Prepare copies of academic records and a medical certificate; ask the principal or academic dean to complete the academic recommendation form. All documents should be sent by email or mail to the Cambridge International School of IT and Economics in Tashkent: Admissions Office, Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Ulugbek District, Buzaryk Street 57.
