Annual tuition at Guangzhou International Primary School Baiyun ZWIE ranges from RMB 118,000 for 2026/27.

Application & registration fees
- A non‑refundable application fee is required to submit an application.
- A one‑time registration (enrolment) fee is charged on acceptance and is non‑refundable. Payment of the registration fee and completion of the online enrolment process are required to confirm and reserve a place; the registration invoice is due within the period stated on the offer (typically within 30 days or before the student's first day).

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)
- Grades 1–6: RMB 118,000 per academic year. This rate is applied uniformly across Years 1–6.
- Per‑term (semester) breakdown (common billing convention): when the annual tuition of RMB 118,000 is divided evenly across two semesters, the equivalent amount is RMB 59,000 per semester. (Tuition is billed on an annual basis unless an alternative instalment plan is specified on the invoice.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is charged on an academic‑year basis; the school issues an invoice after acceptance and requires payment according to the invoice deadlines. Acceptance must be confirmed and the registration payment completed within the deadline on the offer to hold the place.
- Additional fees (uniforms, meals, boarding, off‑campus activities) are charged separately as specified on school invoices or termly statements. Parents receive payment links or invoice instructions through the school's online enrolment/payment channel.

Boarding and meals
- Boarding fee (approximate): RMB 8,000 per year for boarding in a 6‑person room (equivalent to about RMB 4,000 per semester if the annual charge is split). Boarding is optional; families may choose day attendance instead.
- Meals:
- Day students: approximately RMB 5,000 per year for daily school meals.
- Boarding students: approximately RMB 16,000 per year for catering while resident.
These meal charges are additional to tuition and boarding fees and are collected as part of the school's termly or annual billing.

Other costs and fees (charged in addition to tuition and boarding)
- School uniform costs are charged separately and collected as a reimbursable/collective item on school invoices. Uniform, school‑organised trips, extracurricular or off‑campus activity fees, and other incidental expenses are charged as ‘agency'/pass‑through items and billed according to actual cost.
- Textbooks, some materials and special course fees may be included in the annual tuition; other optional program fees (special language support, extra clubs, competitions, exams, extended day care, etc.) are billed separately when applicable.

Refund information and withdrawal
- The registration fee is non‑refundable once paid. If a family withdraws after paying tuition/boarding, refunds are handled in accordance with the applicable municipal regulations for private/mandatory education; where a student registers and then does not enrol, the district refund rules on fee returns apply (for example, local regulations set refund calculations and often allow a substantial portion of prepaid fees to be returned subject to deductions for administrative processing and any days attended). Parents should expect the school to follow the district's refund policy and issue refunds after clearing outstanding charges.

Fee payment options and practical notes
- The school issues invoices and provides an online enrolment/payment link for invoice settlement; parents complete payment through the online payment method specified on the invoice. The enrolment procedure and invoice information are managed through the school's online portal.
- Other commonly used payment channels for schools in the locality (bank transfer and online payment links) are used when detailed payment instructions appear on the school's invoice; exact accepted payment methods (bank account details, QR codes, WeChat/Alipay, credit card acceptance) are provided with each invoice or registration notice.
