Equivalent payment examples (calculated for convenience)
- The school posts annual tuition amounts and bills on a monthly schedule for convenience; the following are simple calculations (annual divided by N) to show common breakdowns and are provided as examples only:
- Monthly (annual ÷ 12):
- Preschool: USD 716.67 per month (USD 8,600 ÷ 12).
- First child: USD 658.33 per month (USD 7,900 ÷ 12).
- Second child: USD 575.00 per month (USD 6,900 ÷ 12).
- Third child: USD 491.67 per month (USD 5,900 ÷ 12).
- Fourth+ child: USD 408.33 per month (USD 4,900 ÷ 12).
- Per semester (annual ÷ 2) and per trimester/term (annual ÷ 3) examples are similarly obtainable by dividing the published annual tuition by 2 or 3. These calculated examples reflect straightforward arithmetic from the published annual tuition figures.
