Tuition — how fees are presented and how to compute monthly / annual / per-term amounts - The school publishes a single annual "total academic fee" for each grade; the displayed monthly figure equals the total academic fee divided by 12. Use the monthly figure × 12 to obtain the annual tuition. - Program-level annual tuition ranges across Orchids Bengaluru campuses (for comparator purposes): - Pre‑Primary (Pre‑Nursery to Kindergarten): INR 46,000 — INR 141,000 per year. - Primary (Grades 1–5): INR 52,000 — INR 170,000 per year. - Secondary (Grades 6–10): INR 46,000 — INR 141,000 per year. Representative tuition examples for selected Bengaluru campuses (monthly, then computed annual) - ORCHIDS BTM Layout — Grade I: Monthly INR 12,083 → Annual INR 145,000 (12 × 12,083). - ORCHIDS JP Nagar — Nursery: Monthly INR 9,333 → Annual INR 112,000 (12 × 9,333). - ORCHIDS Sarjapur Road — Nursery: Monthly INR 10,167 → Annual INR 122,000 (12 × 10,167). - ORCHIDS Magadi Road — Nursery: Monthly INR 7,250 → Annual INR 87,000 (12 × 7,250). - ORCHIDS Hennur Road — LKG / K1: Monthly INR 8,250 → Annual INR 99,000 (12 × 8,250). - ORCHIDS Sahakar Nagar — Grade I: Monthly INR 10,250 → Annual INR 123,000 (12 × 10,250). - ORCHIDS Kanakapura Road (Residential) — Nursery (residential campus shown): Monthly INR 6,250 → Annual INR 75,000 (12 × 6,250). This campus provides boarding / residential facilities; the published monthly figure applies to that branch. Per‑term amounts - The school publishes the annual academic fee and the monthly figure (annual ÷ 12). If you require a per‑term figure, divide the annual tuition by the number of instalments your chosen billing plan uses. Orchids offers flexible billing (monthly / quarterly EMI shown as available), so per‑term instalments will depend on the selected plan. Example: an annual tuition of INR 145,000 equals: - Monthly: INR 12,083 (annual ÷ 12). - Quarterly (if billed in four equal instalments): INR 36,250 (annual ÷ 4). - Term (if billed in three equal terms): INR 48,333 (annual ÷ 3). Billing schedule and payment terms - The displayed monthly figure equals the total academic fee divided by 12; the school provides flexible payment plans including monthly or quarterly EMI arrangements through listed payment partners. Parents can opt for instalment plans with partner platforms. - Admission confirmation normally requires payment of the registration fee and the admission blocking amount as noted under application/admission fees. Boarding / residential fees (where applicable) - Orchids operates a residential (boarding) campus in the Bengaluru network at Kanakapura Road; the branch page shows the campus is residential and publishes the same monthly/annual fee format for that campus. The boarding campus page does not publish a separate line‑item labelled "boarding fee" distinct from the monthly academic figure on the page. The residential campus fee is presented as a monthly figure in the same way as day campuses. Other one‑time or recurring costs - Common additional items shown or referenced across branches include: registration / admission blocking (one‑time), books and stationery (annual/term), transport (bus) charges (variable by route), uniform costs, and other term charges. These components are treated as additional to the published academic fee on branch fee pages. Individual branches list transport / books / stationery / term charges as separate items when applicable. Refund information - The public fee pages list the admission/registration and annual academic fee items but do not publish a single, campus‑wide refund policy on the fee pages. Registration and admission blocking payments are shown as payable at confirmation; terms such as refundability for these specific items are not detailed on the branch fee pages. For admission‑specific refund terms (for example, security deposit handling or registration refund rules), review the admission terms that accompany the registration/admission payment or contact the admissions office directly. Fee payment options - The group provides online payment facilities and displays partner‑based EMI options (examples of partners shown include Jodo and other payment/EMI partners). The school also promotes an Orchids School Connect App for tracking and paying fees and supports flexible instalment plans (monthly/quarterly EMI). The branch pages present online/EMI payment options rather than only manual cash/bank‑transfer detail. Specific accepted payment instruments (credit card, net banking, UPI, bank transfer) are handled through the payment partners and the school's fee collection portal.
