Fees

Application fees

- No fixed application, registration or admission amount is published by the school for the 2026/27 academic year (no public fee lines for application or registration were found). The school operates an admissions process and issues invoices at offer/acceptance, but a one-off application/registration charge is not publicly listed with a published amount.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)

- The school does not publish a public, itemised tuition schedule per year group for 2026/27 or for 2025/26 that is available online. No definitive per-term or per-year tuition figures are available in the school's published material. Where invoices are issued, they are arranged by term/semester but published numeric tuition amounts by grade were not found.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are invoiced in advance of the term and follow a term/semester billing cycle. Invoice collection periods and payment deadlines are scheduled around the start of each term (example invoice-collection and due-date windows include 1st–10th of the month at the start of a term).

- The school's online-payment terms state that dues from previous months must be cleared before selecting current or future dues, that late fines for tuition will be charged according to school policy, and that payments submitted through the online gateway are non-refundable but may be adjusted against other payments. Parents' payment dashboards are updated after each successful payment.

Boarding fees

- No boarding provision or boarding fees are published or described in the school's public information. The school is presented as a day school with campus addresses and no boarding programme or boarding charges listed.

Other costs and recurring charges

- The school's materials and past parent/student documents show standard additional charge categories that are applied in practice (but without amounts published). These categories include: lab fees, extra‑curricular activity (ECA) fees, semester fees and materials/kit or resource charges. These fee categories appear on internal schedules and invoice calendars.

- Transaction/service charges for online payments are noted as being paid by the school in its online-payment terms; however other incidental costs such as uniforms, exam fees or transport are not published with amounts and may be invoiced separately when applicable.

Refund information

- Payments made through the online payment gateway are stated to be non‑refundable; payments may be adjusted against other payments but cannot be cancelled and refunded once processed through the gateway. The school reserves the right to change or modify terms and conditions. Late fines are applied as per school policy.

Fee payment options

- Online payment gateway (shurjopay / linked payment gateway channels) for debit/credit cards and mobile banking is supported; the school's payment terms and payment‑options pages reference online gateway use and the need to check bank debits prior to re‑submitting transactions.

- Bank payments: the school has an established payment arrangement with AB Bank, and parents can pay tuition via the AB Bank channels and at AB Bank branches as part of the school's accepted payment routes. Cheque, bank transfer or pay‑order arrangements may be used where applicable under the school's invoicing procedures.

Summary of findings and limitation

- The school publishes payment procedure, payment terms (including non‑refundable gateway payments, late‑payment penalties and parent dashboard updates) and invoice collection/payment windows, and it lists the common fee categories used on invoices (lab fee, ECA fee, semester fees). However, the school does not publish a current, itemised tuition schedule or specific numeric values for application, registration or grade‑by‑grade tuition for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26) in its publicly available materials. The absence of published numeric tuition lines means specific per‑term and per‑year tuition figures and a one‑off application/registration amount cannot be provided here.
