How term and annual amounts are applied
- Fees are billed and collected in advance either per term or per session; parents pay fees before the term/session starts. A full term's notice is required for withdrawal or a term's fees in lieu of notice.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are payable in advance per term or for the full session. Acceptance of admission is confirmed through payment of fees within the school's stated payment window. A full term's notice is required if withdrawing a pupil, otherwise a term's fees must be paid in lieu of notice.
Boarding fees and boarding provisions
- Boarding is offered at Corona Secondary School, Agbara (weekly/boarding options noted). Annual boarding costs reported by independent school-fee listings fall in the NGN 2,900,000–NGN 3,600,000 range; per-term equivalents are shown above. Specific boarding-related extras (beddings, weekend leave arrangements, medical provisions) may carry additional charges assessed by the school.
Other costs and regular additional fees
- Uniforms: the school requires items from an official uniform list. Parents are responsible for purchasing the required uniform items.
- Co-curricular / club fees: some clubs and activity academies carry termly fees; an example club/academy fee level cited in school communications is NGN 40,000 (per term) for paid club activities. Extra-curricular, academy, or specialist activity fees are charged termly alongside school fees when applicable.
- Other possible one-off or recurring costs include examination fees, booklists and stationery, school-provided transport (bus) charges where applicable, lunch/cafeteria plans, and optional paid extracurricular academies. These items are normally listed on the school's fee invoice or payment portal when a pupil is enrolled.
Refunds and withdrawal rules
- A full term's notice is required when withdrawing a pupil; if notice is not provided a term's fees will be charged in lieu of notice. Fees are collected in advance; the school reserves the right to review fees and to apply the stated notice/fee-in-lieu rule on withdrawal.
Fee payment options and accepted channels
- Debit and credit card payments are accepted (online payment gateway available via the school's payment links). The school operates an online payment facility using a payment gateway for card payments.
- Payments may also be made through designated banks and by submitting bank tellers as proof of payment; the school's business office processes and records such payments. Parents are required to submit payment evidence to the business office within the stated acceptance window following enrolment.
Consequences of late or non-payment
- The school applies its published rules for late or non-payment, which can include administrative penalties and the requirement to clear outstanding fees before a pupil is permitted to continue on-site activities. Parents should expect that outstanding fees can affect a pupil's continued enrolment and participation in examinations or school activities.
Notes on variability
- Annual tuition figures vary by campus, by year group, and by whether a pupil is day or boarding. Where a single numeric range is shown above, that range reflects reported fees across Corona campuses and entries published by school-fee information services. Parents should plan for variability between campuses and between day and boarding arrangements.
