Application fees
- Gateway College Kandy does not publish a publicly available, itemised application/registration fee schedule on the campus information page.
- Typical one-off admission/registration fees for international schools in Sri Lanka (used by many Gateway campuses and comparable schools) are commonly in the range of LKR 30,000–100,000 as a non‑recurring registration or enrollment charge; some schools also require a separate development fund or capital levy (commonly LKR 250,000–350,000 at higher‑tier schools). Use these ranges as expected categories rather than fixed Gateway Kandy amounts.
Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)
- Gateway College Kandy does not publish an itemised, year‑group tuition table on the public campus page; exact per‑term and per‑year figures for 2026/27 are not published there. The campus is listed without a public fee schedule.
- Indicative tuition ranges for Gateway College campuses and comparable international schools in Kandy (these are typical market ranges used to estimate parental cost planning):
- Early years / Primary (foundation to lower primary): approximately LKR 200,000–450,000 per year (break downable into term payments; many schools bill by term).
- Middle school / Lower secondary: approximately LKR 400,000–800,000 per year (term billing typical; exam years start to increase).
- Upper secondary / IGCSE / A‑Level (exam years): approximately LKR 600,000–1,500,000+ per year depending on subject choices, external exam entry costs and year‑group levies. Exam years (IGCSE / A‑Level) commonly attract higher annual tuition and additional exam charges.
- Presentation format commonly used by comparable schools: fee quoted per term (three terms per academic year) with the annual total equal to the sum of three term payments; some families choose full‑year prepayment or formal instalment plans where available. The ranges above should be treated as the expected per‑year tuition band; per‑term amounts are roughly one third of the annual figure unless the school specifies different term proportions.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Typical billing schedules used by Gateway campuses and similar international schools in Sri Lanka:
- Term billing (three terms per year) is the most common approach; invoices issued at the start of each term.
- Annual payment (single payment) and instalment options (two or more instalments, or monthly instalments via a school payment plan or bank arrangement) are commonly offered; discounts sometimes apply for single full‑year prepayment.
- Typical payment terms and penalties in the sector:
- Application/registration fees are usually payable on submission and are commonly non‑refundable. Tuition invoices are normally due at the start of the invoiced period (term/semester). Late payments commonly attract penalties or suspension of services until accounts are settled.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding/hostel offering is listed for Gateway College Kandy on the campus information page; Gateway College Kandy operates as a day campus. Therefore boarding fees are not applicable for this campus.
Other costs and mandatory charges
- Common additional charges that families should expect (these categories are standard across Gateway campuses and comparable international schools):
- Development fund / capital levy: one‑off or staged payment, frequently charged by some private schools (ranges vary widely; higher amounts reported at some schools LKR 250,000–350,000).
- External exam fees (Cambridge/Edexcel/IB/other): payable per subject/entry; typical exam session totals for IGCSE/A‑Level cohorts often add materially to annual cost (indicative band LKR 80,000–180,000+ per exam session depending on number of subjects).
- Annual resource / activity / technology levies: to cover textbooks, consumables, ICT provision and some excursions — commonly billed annually or divided across term invoices.
- Transport (school bus) fees: charged separately; monthly or term rates depend on route and distance.
