Application fees and deposits
- Application fee: RMB 2,000 one-time, non‑refundable (applies at time of application).
- Placement / acceptance deposit: a seat‑reservation or placement deposit is required on acceptance; BASIS campuses commonly collect a placement/seat deposit with the balance of tuition invoiced thereafter. (Amount and refundability vary by campus and offer; families should expect a substantial one‑time deposit on acceptance).

- Pre‑K (PreK1–PreK2): Annual tuition RMB 211,200 — Per term RMB 105,600.
- Kindergarten (K): Annual tuition RMB 236,500 — Per term RMB 118,250.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is invoiced by the school and BASIS campuses commonly operate on a multi‑instalment billing model (annual or two‑semester instalments are commonly offered); families typically pay the deposit to secure a place with the balance invoiced by the school according to the invoice schedule. Exact instalment options and invoice dates are set by the school per offer.
Boarding / accommodation fees
- No boarding fees are listed for the Chengdu campus; BASIS campus information shows boarding facilities at specific campuses (for example Guangzhou and Park Lane Harbour) but does not list dormitory or boarding fees for Chengdu. Therefore boarding is not applicable for the Chengdu campus as the campus facilities summary does not include student dorms.
Other costs and fees (typical additional charges)
- Tuition covers the core instructional programme; additional costs that are typically charged separately include: school meals/cafeteria (lunch), textbooks and workbooks, school uniform, school bus/transport, school‑organised trips and residential trips, optional after‑school activities and some externally run clubs, recommended learning materials, and certain assessment/exam or AP/standardised test fees. These items are generally charged in addition to tuition.
Refund information
- The application fee is non‑refundable. Schools in the BASIS China network commonly state that tuition and related fees are not refundable for absence; specific refund entitlements (for withdrawal, late arrival, or term‑time changes) depend on the school's enrolment and refund policy and on the timing of written notice. Parents should note that acceptance/placement deposits may have specific refund rules.
