Fee details	Fee details Application and registration fees - Admission (application) fee: NGN 15,000 (one‑time, payable at time of application/registration). Tuition fees by year group (per term / summary available) - The school does not publish a public, itemised fee table by year group. Publicly reported figures indicate a tuition range of NGN 501,000 to NGN 750,000 per term for the school. Exact per‑year / per‑grade termly amounts are not listed in the publicly available fee summaries. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is reported and discussed on a termly basis (termly billing is the commonly reported interval). The school offers a 5% discount for each additional sibling enrolled. The school also offers an annual 5% early‑payment discount when tuition is paid in full before the start of the academic year. Detailed term dates, instalment deadlines and formal billing schedule were not published in the public fee summaries. Boarding fees (where applicable) - Boarding facilities are available; minimum boarding admission age is 11 years. Specific boarding fee amounts, weekly/termly boarding rates, and what is included in boarding charges (meals, laundry, supervision, weekend arrangements) are not published in the public fee information. Other costs and additional charges - School bus service is provided (mainland routes only). Other categories commonly charged in addition to tuition—such as uniforms, textbooks and learning materials, exam/assessment entry fees, meals for day students, co‑curricular activity fees and ad hoc trip charges—are expected but no public, itemised price list for these items was published. Parents should plan for additional termly or one‑off charges beyond tuition and the admission fee. Refunds and withdrawal - No public, itemised refund policy or standard schedule of refundable / non‑refundable charges (for withdrawal, notice periods, or deposits) was published in the available fee summaries. Fee payment options and how discounts apply - The school accepts full annual payment (eligible for the 5% annual early‑payment discount when paid before the academic year begins). Other accepted payment instruments (credit card, bank transfer, online payment gateway, standing order) are not listed in the public fee information. A parent/guardian portal is referenced for school administration. Brief summary of publicly available fee facts and remaining items not published - Publicly available, specific fee items that can be stated: Admission fee NGN 15,000; reported tuition range NGN 501,000–NGN 750,000 per term; boarding is available from age 11; a 5% sibling discount and a 5% discount for payment in full before the academic year. - Publicly unavailable (not published in the materials reviewed): a full per‑grade / per‑year fee schedule (term and annual amounts by year group), specific boarding rates, a published refund/withdrawal policy, and a full list of accepted payment instruments and step‑by‑step billing dates. The school indicates fees are tailored and provided on enquiry; the above represents the factual elements that are available in public summaries.	Fee details Application / Registration fees - Registration (application) fee: ₦15,000 per student. Tuition fees (by academic session and per-term guidance) - Published tuition (2025/2026 academic session): ₦2,000,000 for the academic session (standard session rate reported for students). - Typical term billing (inference from a single annual/session charge): when a session total is divided into three terms, the approximate amount per term would be ₦666,667. This per-term figure is an arithmetical division of the reported session fee and not an independently published term charge. - No publicly posted breakdown by specific year group (e.g., Junior Secondary vs Senior Secondary or by individual grade) was found in the publicly available material; the fee information located is presented as a general session rate rather than separate amounts per year group. Boarding / accommodation fees - Accommodation (boarding) charge reported for the 2025/2026 session: ₦120,000 (this is listed separately from the session tuition in published reports). - The college operates boarding facilities and provides supervised hostel life for boarding students. Specific accommodation inclusions and any tiered boarding rates (if any) were not publicly listed. Billing schedule and payment terms - Fees are managed through the school's online parent/student portal and online application links (school uses an online fees portal for admissions and parent login). Parents are required to pay fees via the school's fees portal and by the school's published deadlines. - No detailed public schedule stating exact invoice dates, late-payment penalties, or staged instalment deadlines was found in the public material reviewed. Where a session total is given, schools often expect payment before term resumption or via termly instalments; the reported session total suggests the school accepts session or term payment arrangements through the portal, but precise contract terms were not publicly posted. Other costs and typical additional charges - Items commonly noted as included or separately charged in published summaries for this school: textbooks, uniforms, and (in some reports) learning/technology items such as student tablets may be covered or billed at first-term/initial billing; exact inclusions differ between reports. Parents should budget for additional costs such as examination fees, transport, medical/insurance charges, co-curricular activity fees, excursions/trips, and any optional extra-curricular payments. - No precise published schedule of uniform costs, book packs, or per-item charges was located in the public material. Refunds and fee withdrawal policy - No publicly available, detailed refund policy or formal published instructions for refunds/fee credits was found in the public material accessible without parent/portal login. Specific refund terms (for withdrawal, early leave, or overpayment) are not publicly posted in the sources reviewed. Fee payment options - The school directs parents to an online fees/admissions portal (parent login / online application links are active on the school's public pages), indicating payments are processed through the portal system. The portal is the official route for fee payment and billing notices. - No publicly posted list of accepted payment instruments (specific bank account details, accepted card types, or third‑party payment processors) was found in the public material; those details are typically available within the school's secure parent/fees portal. Brief note on availability of detailed year-group and term-by-term breakdowns - Publicly available material reviewed provides a session (academic year) fee headline amount (₦2,000,000 for 2025/2026) and a separately reported accommodation charge (₦120,000). It does not provide a published, itemised fee table showing separate tuition rates for each individual grade or a school-published term-by-term tariff breakdown accessible without parent/portal login. For that reason, line‑by‑line per-year-group numbers and an official published refund policy were not locatable in the public pages and third‑party summaries.
