Fees

Annual tuition at Chongqing DEPU Foreign Language School ranges from RMB 130,000 to RMB 150,000 for 2026/27.

*Application fees*
- No specific, published application (registration) fee amount for Chongqing DEPU Foreign Language School was located in the school's publicly available admissions materials for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) admissions guides.

*Tuition fees by year group (program level) — annual and per-term amounts*
- Primary / elementary (reported examples): CNY 130,000 per year; inferred per term (assuming two terms per academic year): CNY 65,000 per term.
- Junior middle (small-class or selective program example): CNY 80,000 per year; inferred per term: CNY 40,000 per term.
- Bilingual middle program (reported example): CNY 140,000 per year; inferred per term: CNY 70,000 per term.
- International high school / senior secondary (reported example): CNY 150,000 per year; inferred per term: CNY 75,000 per term.
- Other public listings and school directories show a program-level range for DEPU of roughly CNY 66,000–CNY 150,000 per academic year depending on program and intake, which corresponds to approximately CNY 33,000–CNY 75,000 per term under a two-term assumption. The per-term figures above are calculated by dividing the reported annual fee by two (this is an inference where only an annual figure was provided).

*Billing schedule and payment terms*
- No detailed, dated billing schedule (exact deposit amount, invoice dates or installment deadlines) for the 2026/27 academic year was found in the publicly available admissions materials specifically attributed to Chongqing DEPU Foreign Language School. When specific annual amounts are published for comparable international schools in Chongqing, billing is commonly structured as either: (a) annual payment in full before term start, or (b) semester/term payments prior to each term; some schools publish discounts for early full-year payment and require bank remittance evidence. The DEPU-specific billing schedule was not located in the materials reviewed. (Where a per-term split is shown above, the per-term figures are an inferred division of the published annual fee.)

*Boarding fees (where applicable)*
- Reported boarding (dormitory) fees for DEPU in public listings vary; one local posting lists boarding at CNY 5,400 per year while other directories and parent-facing pages list combined accommodation and ancillary boarding figures in the CNY 5,000–CNY 10,000 per year range. If a single boarding figure is listed for a given year, treat that as an annual amount; per-term boarding (if payable by term) would be that annual amount divided by the number of terms.

*Other costs and fees (examples reported in admissions and school-directory materials)*
- Meal / catering fees: reported separately by some sources (school dining not always included in tuition); amounts vary by program and are commonly charged termly or monthly.
- Textbooks, learning materials and workbooks: commonly charged in addition to tuition in comparable schools; some programs itemize exercise-book or materials fees separately.
- Uniforms, school supplies and extracurricular program charges: uniforms and optional activity fees are reported as additional out-of-pocket costs in school-directory descriptions.
- Miscellaneous/one-off fees (examples used by comparable Chongqing international schools): admission deposit / fee (where published by other schools), late payment penalties, school trip or camp fees and medical/insurance charges; no DEPU-specific named amounts were found in publicly accessible listings.

*Refund information*
- Refunds for private schools in Chongqing are governed by municipal and provincial education and pricing regulations; these regulations commonly require pro rata refund calculations based on time remaining in the term or academic year and set timelines for processing refunds. No DEPU-specific, itemized refund table for 2026/27 was located in publicly accessible admissions materials; therefore refund handling for DEPU should be expected to follow applicable local regulations and the school's enrollment contract and fee-policy terms.

*Fee payment options*
- No DEPU-specific list of accepted payment channels (for example, precise bank account details, credit-card acceptance, or online portals) was located in the reviewed public admissions materials for 2026/27. Parent-facing materials for comparable international schools in Chongqing commonly accept bank transfer (domestic RMB remittance), on-site payment in RMB, and occasionally international remittance; some schools publish bank-account details and deadlines in their fee schedules. DEPU-specific payment channels and account details were not found in the materials reviewed.

*Brief note on sources and missing details*
- Publicly available admissions and directory materials for Chongqing DEPU Foreign Language School (as reviewed for 2026/27 and 2025/26) include program-level annual tuition figures and ranges in several admissions guides and school-directory pages, but a complete, itemized 2026/27 fee schedule showing a formal application fee amount, an explicit billing schedule with deposit/installment deadlines, a line-item boarding fee table, and an explicit list of accepted payment methods was not located in the materials that were publicly accessible. Where only annual fees were listed, per-term numbers above are an inference (annual ÷ 2) stated explicitly as an inference. Families should expect typical additional charges such as meals, textbooks, uniforms and activity fees beyond the published tuition and boarding numbers; specific amounts and exact billing terms were not available in the public materials reviewed.
