Fees
Fee details
Fee details
Application / Admission fees
- Admission / application fee: ₦0.00 (no charge).
Tuition fees (per term, by stage)
- The school bills tuition on a termly basis. Exact, published per–grade fee tables for the 2026/27 academic year are not publicly posted; available listings and market references show the following typical ranges for Nursery and Primary year groups: - Typical published ranges reported by independent school directories: ₦150,000 – ₦300,000 per term. - Some directories list a narrower range for certain listings at around ₦150,000 – ₦200,000 per term.
- No authoritative, itemised per-class / per-year fee breakdown (exact amounts for Reception, Year 1, Year 2 … Year 12) was found in the school's publicly-posted materials; the figures above are summary ranges reported by third‑party listings.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing schedule: all school bills (including hostel charges where applicable) are required to be paid in advance at the start of each term; no learner is admitted to hostel accommodation without full payment of the school bill for that term. Payments are therefore termly.
- Payment timing: hostel guidance and school materials specify that fees must be paid before resumption each term. The school's admission/administration uses an online portal for application/payment slips.
Boarding / hostel fees (where applicable)
- Boarding is offered: Mictec operates both day and boarding options (the admission form includes a day-or-boarding selection and the school publishes a Hostel Guide / Handbook).
- Hostel billing terms: parents/guardians are required to pay hostel fees in advance and termly; the hostel handbook requires evidence of payment before a boarder may move in. The hostel handbook does not list fixed monetary amounts in the public copy.
Other costs and typical extras
- Uniforms and boarding provisions: the hostel handbook lists specific items that boarders must have and notes that certain hostel items (for example, bed sheets, pillow slips and certain house/sunday wear) are expected to be purchased from the school. Parents should expect uniform and bed/hostel-item costs in addition to tuition.
- Transport: school bus pickup/drop‑off services are available and are charged separately; pricing for bus services is not published in the publicly available materials.
- Examination, textbooks and consumables: the school prepares students for local and external examinations (Cambridge/WAEC/NECO references appear in school materials); examination and textbook/consumable charges are commonly additional to tuition but specific fee amounts for exams and books are not listed in the publicly posted documents.
Refunds and cancellation
- No publicly posted, detailed refund or fee‑refund schedule (for example a proration or withdrawal refund table) was located among the school's publicly available documents and handbooks; the school's hostel handbook and admissions material set payment timing and admission conditions but do not publish a standard refund table in the materials reviewed.
Fee payment options and receipts
- The school uses an online admissions/payments portal (mictec.eduporch.com) for application forms and online payment slips; the hostel handbook and admission materials require evidence of payment and the school issues receipts. Specific merchant/payment channels (exact card networks, which bank account details or whether international card payments are accepted) are not published in the publicly available materials reviewed.
Notes on available published detail
- The school publishes a detailed Hostel Guide that sets payment timing (termly) and lists boarding requirements, but a detailed, itemised fee schedule showing exact per‑grade tuition amounts and a formal refund table was not found in the public downloads and pages reviewed. Third‑party school directories report termly tuition ranges for Nursery/Primary (commonly ₦150,000–₦300,000 per term, with some listings narrower at ₦150,000–₦200,000 per term). Use the termly billing rule above when converting per‑term figures to annual totals (the school bills by term).
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.
