Fees
Application fees
- The school requires an application procedure (online application form and supporting documents) to begin enrolment. The published admissions information does not list a fixed numeric application fee amount.
Tuition fees by school year (Preschool, Primary, Secondary, College)
- Tuition is set separately for each programme (Preschool, Primary, International Secondary School, Richmond Park College). The school describes fees as tailored to each programme rather than a single flat rate, but does not publish specific numeric tuition amounts or a year-by-year fee table. - The published information confirms that tuition covers certain standard services for younger students: extended stay until 17:00 and one extracurricular club activity per week for Preschool and Primary pupils. - Cambridge examination options (IGCSE, AS/A-Level) are available as optional assessments for the appropriate grades; associated external exam entry fees or preparation charges would apply as additional costs when pupils choose those options. The school notes these exam options but does not publish specific exam fee amounts.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The academic year is organised in two semesters. Tuition may be billed and paid per semester. - Tuition may be paid in one or two instalments per semester. A flexible payment plan (allowing more instalments) is available; the flexible plan must be agreed and signed in person at enrolment/contract signing. - The school states that, in cases of significant increases in operating costs, tuition may be adjusted by up to 10% during a pupil's education.
Boarding fees (where applicable)
- The campus description lists secure, supervised dormitory accommodation for boys and girls from other cities, so boarding provision exists and will carry separate boarding charges. No published boarding fee amounts or a boarding fee schedule are provided in the publicly available programme information.
Other costs and fees
- Books and stationery: Each grade has a published list of required books and stationery. These lists are provided for download; the school does not publish consolidated prices for these materials as part of the tuition schedule. Costs for books and stationery will therefore be an additional, grade-specific expense. - Meals and catering: The campus offers an on-site cafeteria and daily meals for younger children, but no fixed published meal-price schedule or meal-plan fee table is provided in the publicly available information. - Optional activities, trips and competitions: Participation in optional international trips, competitions, externally arranged activities, or additional clubs may incur extra charges; specific amounts are not published with the standard tuition information. - Externally assessed exams (Cambridge IGCSE, AS/A-Level, other certificates) and any associated entry or administration fees are charged separately when taken; numeric exam fees are not published in the general fee overview. - Uniform: a formal uniform or dress-code is referenced in school rules and policies, but the school does not publish a price list for uniform items in the standard fee material. Costs for required uniform items should be treated as additional.
Refund information
- No public, itemised refund policy or numeric refund schedule for tuition, deposits, enrolment fees or boarding fees is published in the available policy and admissions materials. Families should expect refund terms (if any) to be set out in the enrolment contract or finance terms provided at acceptance.
Fee payment options
- The published admissions and tuition information describes instalment and flexible payment arrangements but does not list specific accepted payment methods (for example, which card types or bank transfer details). Payment method details and invoice account information are handled by the school finance/admissions office and are provided at enrolment or on invoices.
Summary on published fee data availability
- The school publishes detailed policies on billing cadence, instalment options, discounts, inclusion of certain services in tuition (extended stay, one club for younger pupils), and boarding provision, but it does not publish numerical fee amounts (application fee amounts, tuition per year group or per term, boarding prices, meal-price schedules, uniform price lists, or explicit refund tables) in the publicly available admissions and programme pages. For definitive, itemised numerical fees and the official fee schedule for a given academic year, those figures are issued directly by the school's admissions/finance office at the point of offer and enrolment.
