Fee details Application / Registration / One‑time charges - One‑time registration / application and admission charges are payable when an offer of admission is accepted. Published listings show one‑time admission/registration charges that vary by intake and grade; examples recorded for the 2026/27 intake range from approximately INR 35,626 to INR 81,000 (registration fees reported at INR 4,000 on some listings and admission charges reported as high as INR 75,000 on others). Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term / instalment examples) - Early years / Nursery: Annual tuition examples published for Nursery total approximately INR 237,504 per year. Quarterly instalment (four payments) on that figure would be about INR 59,376; a monthly equivalent (12 payments) would be about INR 19,792. - Primary / middle grades: Annual tuition for primary and middle years is published in a band that typically rises above the early‑years rate — a commonly published overall annual tuition band is INR 237,504 to INR 267,504 across grades; using that band, a quarterly instalment range would be approximately INR 59,376 to INR 66,876 and a monthly equivalent would be approximately INR 19,792 to INR 22,292. - First‑year total (new admission example): Published first‑year cost examples that include one‑time admission charges, security deposit and annual tuition produce first‑year totals in the sample listings (for Nursery/new admission) around INR 296,880; payment plan examples show this first‑year total can be paid as one annual sum, four quarterly instalments of INR 74,220, or 12 monthly instalments of INR 24,740. Billing schedule and payment terms - One‑time fees (application/registration/admission/security deposit) are payable on acceptance of place and at the time of admission. Recurring tuition is billed for the academic year and is normally payable either: (a) as one annual payment, (b) in quarterly instalments (four instalments), or (c) in monthly instalments (12 payments) as offered in sample payment plans. - Late payment penalties and administrative late‑fee charges are applied by the school in some published listings; an example late‑fee figure shown on public fee listings is INR 1,000 per day after the due date (apply as per school billing rules). Boarding / Hostel (if applicable) - Boarding / hostel provision is listed among the school's campus services and appears in public school profiles; however, a detailed public boarding fee schedule (annual hostel / mess / laundry / security deposit numbers) is not published in the fee listings reviewed. Families should plan for a separate boarding fee and a refundable caution/security deposit where boarding is taken. Other recurring or occasional costs - Transport (school bus): Transport fees, where opted, are quoted on public listings in a monthly range of approximately INR 4,585 to INR 6,250 depending on route and service. Transport is charged separately from core tuition and is payable on the same instalment schedule selected for tuition. - Annual activity / development / miscellaneous charges: Sample published line items include an annual activity & development charge in the region of INR 23,750 and an annual “other”/annual fee reported around INR 27,500 on some listings. These recurring ancillary charges are typically billed annually or spread across instalments. - Monthly/termly smaller charges: Some listings show modest monthly add‑ons (example: other fees ~INR 1,500 monthly) that cover consumables, co‑curricular or administrative services. Uniform, books and stationery are normally charged separately at actual cost through the school store or supplier and are not consolidated into the headline tuition figure. Refund information - The school publishes a Refund / Fee Policy as part of its admissions/parent information. Standard provisions referenced in school fee practice for this region include: refundable security/caution deposits (refundable after clearance of dues), non‑refundable elements of admission/registration fees in many cases, and pro‑rated refunds of tuition/transport where withdrawals occur before certain billing cutoffs. Specific refund entitlement, timing and deductions are governed by the school's Refund / Fee Policy and the school's accounts office. Fee payment options - Payment methods offered in school fee listings and parent payment platforms commonly include: bank transfer / electronic funds transfer, demand draft or cheque where accepted, and online payment / instalment plans processed via the school's parent portal or payments partner. The school's published billing examples show annual, quarterly and monthly instalment options available to families. Families should use the school's published admission letter and fee invoice for exact payment instructions and accepted payment methods. Summary (practical points for parents) - Expect a one‑time admission/registration charge at acceptance plus an annual tuition amount that varies by grade (sample published annual tuition band ~INR 237,504–INR 267,504). - First‑year costs include one‑time charges and ancillary fees; sample first‑year totals for Nursery/new admission are shown around INR 296,880 in itemised examples, and other listings show higher first‑year totals depending on the admission charge applied. Installment options (annual / quarterly / monthly) are offered. - Transport, activity, development and uniform/books are additional to headline tuition and are billed separately; boarding is offered but boarding fees are published separately when applicable.

This enables scheduling an interaction with the Academic Leadership Team and a placement assessment for Grades 6–12. 4.
