Application fees
- There is no separate application fee or entrance tuition charged to students as part of standard school costs. Busan International High School is a public (municipal) international high school and does not levy routine tuition or entrance charges typical of private international schools.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- Grades covered: high school (three-year programme).
- Tuition: no tuition is charged for any year group. The school's core instructional fees (tuition / school-operation support fee) are provided under public free-education arrangements and are not billed to parents. Lunch is also provided as a school-covered item. There are therefore no per-term or per-year tuition charges for students.
Billing schedule and payment terms (paid items only)
- Items that are charged to parents (not covered by the school's public funding) are billed on a monthly or per-event basis as appropriate: dormitory (boarding) fees and meal charges for boarding students are billed monthly; field trips, experiential-learning fees, certain after-school programme fees and special-event charges are billed per event or term. Parents are billed for those items when they apply to or are used by the student.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Dormitory fee (boarding): KRW 70,000 per month (approximate, billed monthly).
- Meals for boarding students (breakfast + dinner in addition to standard school lunch where applicable): roughly KRW 160,000 per month (approximate, billed monthly).
- Dormitory accommodation: rooms are configured as two students per room (2-person rooms) with shared facilities by floor; the dormitory provides standard bedding, desks and storage as part of the boarding arrangement. Any specific room-assignment practices or changes in configuration are managed by the school.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- Items commonly charged to families (user-pay items) include: after-school programme fees, optional remedial or enrichment classes, boarding-related meal supplements, field-trip and experiential-learning fees, and similar activity-based costs. These items are not part of core tuition and are charged only to participating students.
- Uniforms and personal learning materials: families incur the cost of school uniforms and personal study materials; uniform purchase is a common, separate cost for parents (uniforms are eligible for the usual tax/education deductions under national rules where applicable).
Refund information
- No detailed, publicly posted refund schedule for boarding, meal, excursion or other ancillary fees was located in the source materials used for this summary. Refunds for paid items (dormitory, meals, trips, after-school programmes) are handled according to the school's internal payment and cancellation policies and are applied on a case-by-case basis; parents should expect refund decisions to follow the school's stated administrative rules for the specific fee item. The available sources list fee amounts and which items are user-paid but do not publish a line-by-line refund table.
Fee payment options
- Specific published payment channels (for example: exact bank account numbers, virtual-account procedures, school payment portals or card-acceptance policies) were not found in the public source items used for this summary. In practice for the charged items listed above, public schools in the region typically collect payments by school-issued payment notices and by bank transfer or school office collection methods; however, the school's formal accepted payment methods are set by its administrative office and may vary. No authoritative, itemised payment-method list was located in the available sources.
