Refund information

The school uses parent/guardian portals and direct admissions contact for administrative matters; accepted payment methods and how to transmit payment are confirmed by the school's finance office during enrollment and invoicing.
Summary of search and limitation
- A search of the school's publicly available pages and admissions information did not reveal a published, itemised fee schedule showing application fees, tuition broken down by year/term, billing calendar, payment terms, uniform pricing, refund policy text, or accepted payment method lists for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26). Because those specific numbers and terms were not published in the materials reviewed, exact monetary figures cannot be provided here. For precise amounts and the full formal fee policy, contact the school's admissions or finance office directly using the school contact details published for prospective families.
