The school provides a personalised tuition and fees schedule to each enrolling family and sets billing and payment terms in the enrolment agreement.

Application / registration fee
- No publicly published fixed application or registration fee amount is listed. Any one‑off registration or assessment charges are set out in the personalised offer and enrolment agreement provided to families.

Tuition fees by school phase (Preschool, Primary, Secondary)
- Tuition is organised by programme: Preschool, Primary and Secondary. No fixed numeric tuition rates by individual year group or term are published publicly; families receive a tailored fee schedule showing annual and term/semester amounts for the exact year group when offered an enrolment place. Tuition for Preschool and Primary includes extended care until 17:00 and one extracurricular club per week.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Academic year structure: two semesters per academic year.
- Instalment options: tuition may be paid in one or two instalments per semester. A further flexible instalment plan (additional instalments beyond the semester options) is available and must be formalised and signed at enrolment/contract signing.

- Adjustment clause: tuition may be adjusted (for example, to reflect significant increases in operating costs) by up to 10% during a pupil's course of study.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The Tuzla campus operates as a day school model with an extended‑care programme included in tuition; no publicised boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is published for the Tuzla campus. Therefore boarding fees are not applicable for standard day enrolment at the Tuzla campus.

Other fees and expected additional costs
- Uniforms: school uniform is required (green polo or sweatshirt with school emblem, appropriate trousers/skirts; PE kit required for PE). Uniform costs are not published as fixed amounts; families are responsible for purchasing the required uniform items and will be informed of exact items and supplier/prices when enrolling.

Refund information and cancellation
- There is no public general tuition refund table published; refund, withdrawal and cancellation terms are handled through the enrolment agreement and the formal payment policy signed at registration.

Discounts and scholarships affecting fees
- Discounts: the school operates several standard discounts (examples include a 5% discount for a Primary student who previously attended Richmond Park Preschool, 5% for a Secondary enrollee who attended Richmond Park Primary, 5% sibling discount, and 5% alumni parent discount). These discount rules are applied as specified in the school's Decision on Scholarships and Discounts and reflected in the family's fee schedule. Merit‑based scholarships and selective scholarship awards are available for eligible students (for example in the first year of High School) and are applied to tuition as described in scholarship documentation.

How fees are delivered to families
- Families are provided a personalised tuition and fees schedule and an enrolment agreement that sets: the total annual tuition figure, term/semester‑ or instalment‑amounts, due dates, any non‑tuition charges (uniform, trips, optional activities), discounts applied, payment methods accepted and refund/cancellation terms. The flexible payment plan option must be signed in person at contract signing.

Notes for parents (factual, actionable summary)
