Fees
Application fees

- No application or admission fee is charged during the admissions process for Dehong Xi'an; families are not required to pay any fee to submit an application.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- No published per-term or per-year tuition schedule for Dehong Xi'an (Academic Year 2026/27 or 2025/26) is available in the school's publicly posted admissions materials. There is therefore no official breakdown available to report here for grade-by-grade tuition, per-term splits, or annual totals.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition payment is identified as part of the enrolment steps (Step 6: Tuition Payment), but the school does not publish a specific billing schedule (for example: deposit requirements, instalment dates, or early-payment discounts) or detailed payment terms for Dehong Xi'an in the public admissions information. Families should expect tuition to be billed by term in line with common practice for similar schools, but no Xi'an-specific term dates, deposit percentages, or penalty/late-fee rules are published.

Boarding / accommodation fees (if applicable)

- There are no publicly listed boarding options or boarding fees for Dehong Xi'an in the admissions materials; the campus information and admissions pages describe Grades 1–9 provision, school bus options and on-campus lunch provision but do not list a boarding programme or boarding charges. No boarding fee schedule can be provided for Dehong Xi'an.

Other costs and fees

- School lunches and snacks: a daily catering standard is published for the Xi'an campus at RMB 38 per student per day. This covers the daily meal provision managed on campus.

- School uniform: the school provides uniforms for all seasons; no public charge or published price for Xi'an uniforms is available. Families should budget for a uniform package but no Xi'an-specific uniform price list has been published.

- School bus (transport): optional school bus transport is offered; the school states the bus service carries an additional charge and that routes/charges vary by pick-up location. No fixed Xi'an bus-price table is published.

- Enrichment / extra-curricular costs, classroom materials, field trips, exam fees, and similar ancillary charges: no consolidated public list of these charges is published for Dehong Xi'an in the available admissions materials; families should expect occasional additional charges for optional activities or external exam/assessment fees, but no Xi'an-specific amounts are published.

Refund information

- A school-level refund policy specific to Dehong Xi'an is not publicly posted in the admissions materials for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic cycle. Public information for other Dehong campuses references refund provisions consistent with the People's Republic of China regulations governing private school fee refunds; where a campus publishes a refund policy it cites PRC rules requiring full refund before term start and graduated refunds after term start. No Xi'an-specific refund percentages, deadlines, or procedures are published in the Xi'an admissions documents.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)

- Dehong Xi'an's publicly available admissions pages do not list accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, online payment platform). No Xi'an-specific payment-method instructions or account details are published in the materials reviewed.

Contact for fees and billing

- For definitive fee figures, billing schedules, payment terms, boarding options (if any) and formal fee invoices, contact Dehong Xi'an Admissions by telephone or email: +86 29 6827 6000 / +86 29 6827 6031 or Admissions-xa@dehong.cn. The school's admissions pages and contact listings identify these admissions channels for fee enquiries and enrolment.

Brief summary of findings and limitations

- The school's Xi'an admissions materials clearly state there is no charge to apply, and they publish certain ancillary figures (for example the daily lunch rate and that uniforms are provided). However, Dehong Xi'an does not publish a grade-by-grade tuition schedule, per-term figures, boarding fees, billing calendar, payment-method instructions, or a campus-specific refund policy for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26) in the publicly available admissions documents reviewed. Because full tuition tables and formal billing terms for Dehong Xi'an are not publicly posted, a term-by-term and year-by-year fee breakdown cannot be provided here.
