- Haileybury International (international VCE stream in Tianjin): A tuition deposit is required at registration (the school's published materials and recruitment notices indicate payment of a tuition deposit at the time of enrolment, but no fixed application fee or deposit amount is published in the public notices).

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term where available)

- Tianjin Haileybury — domestic (精英学校):
- Primary new entrants (Year 1 / 小学新生): RMB 155,000 per year. Per‑term amount: not published. This annual figure excludes school miscellaneous fees and living/boarding costs.
- Junior high new entrants (初一新生): RMB 75,000 per year. Per‑term amount: not published. This annual figure excludes school miscellaneous fees and living/boarding costs.

- Haileybury International School Tianjin (VCE curriculum):
- Middle school (Grades 7–9 / 初中部): RMB 180,000 per year. Typical per‑term billing option: the school lists tuition payable by academic year but notes that families may pay in instalments (commonly two instalments, i.e., one per semester). Per‑semester estimate if split in two: RMB 90,000.
- High school (Grades 10–12 / 高中部): RMB 220,000 per year. Typical per‑term billing option: same instalment practice as above; per‑semester estimate if split in two: RMB 110,000.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- Tianjin Haileybury — domestic: The school operates as a full‑time boarding school with day‑student places; the public admissions notices state that the published tuition figures exclude living and boarding costs, but a specific boarding fee schedule is not published in those notices. Boarding is available.

- Haileybury International (VCE): Published estimates used in recent school directory notices indicate boarding options and fees as follows (school directories and local school listings report these fee levels):
- Boarding (two‑person room): RMB 12,000 per semester (RMB 24,000 per year).
- Boarding (three‑person room): RMB 9,000 per semester (RMB 18,000 per year).
- These boarding fees are reported to include dorm management and basic utilities. Meal plans are published in the same notices as semester charges (see “Other fees” below).

Other costs and typical one‑off charges

- Haileybury (domestic notices specify that published tuition excludes these items): school miscellaneous fees, living/boarding costs, meals, uniforms and transport are charged separately; the school's admission notices list tuition exclusive of these additional costs. Specific amounts for the domestic school's uniforms, meals and boarding are not published in the recruitment notices.

- Haileybury International (reported breakdowns used by school directories):
- Meals: commonly reported as RMB 8,000 per semester (approximately RMB 16,000 per year) in some directory reports, while other local listings report meal costs near RMB 13,000 per year—figures vary by source and meal plan chosen.
- Uniform fee (one‑off): reported around RMB 4,000–4,500.
- School bus: reported as optional and distance‑based, typically RMB 3,000 to RMB 8,000 per semester depending on route.
- Activity, materials and exam charges: certain course‑specific or IB/VCE exam and activity costs are additional and charged separately; amounts depend on subject choices and activities.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tianjin Haileybury (domestic): Admissions notices require registration following district enrollment procedures and indicate that published tuition figures exclude other charges; a detailed billing schedule (per term dates, deposit amounts, or instalment schedule) is not published in those notices. Families complete on‑site registration at the time specified by the school.

- Haileybury International (VCE): Tuition is stated as an annual fee payable by academic year. The school and school directories indicate the usual options are:
- One‑time annual payment before the school year starts; or
- Instalment payment (commonly two instalments, one per semester), with the first instalment and any required deposits due at registration/entry. Exact instalment deadlines and any late‑payment penalties are set by the school at enrolment.

Refund information

- Municipal rules and typical Chinese private/international school practice require schools to publish specific refund and departure policies; those regulations set general principles for pro‑rated refunds on withdrawal depending on the time of departure. The school's public enrollment notices for the domestic Haileybury do not publish a detailed refund table in the admission notices. The international‑school notices compiled by public directories indicate that a tuition deposit is collected at registration and that schools generally apply pro‑rata refund rules, but a specific Haileybury Tianjin refund schedule (percent refund by withdrawal date) is not published in the materials located in public school notices and directory summaries.

Fee payment options

- The school's public admission announcements do not list a definitive, itemised list of accepted payment channels. Common payment channels used by schools in Tianjin and by international schools in China include:
- Domestic bank transfer to the school account, and online campus payment portals supporting WeChat Pay and Alipay; and
- International wire payment services for overseas payers (schools commonly accept international bank transfers or use third‑party international payment platforms such as Flywire for cross‑border payments). Specific accepted methods and payment account details for Haileybury Tianjin are set at registration and provided to families at the time of enrolment.

Summary of what is published versus what is not publicly listed

- Official Haileybury Tianjin admission notices clearly publish the domestic (精英学校) tuition rates for primary entrants (RMB 155,000 per year) and for initial junior high entrants (RMB 75,000 per year). They state tuition figures exclude miscellaneous and living costs but do not publish per‑term breakdowns, exact application/deposit amounts, a full boarding fee schedule, or a detailed refund policy in the same notices.

- The Haileybury International (VCE) annual tuition levels most frequently reported in current school directory and industry listings are RMB 180,000 per year for middle school and RMB 220,000 per year for high school, with boarding and meal charges reported separately (examples: boarding RMB 24,000/year for two‑person rooms; meals and uniform fees reported in the ranges described above). Those directory figures are widely cited in local school listings and admissions summaries; the directory notices also indicate the school accepts annual or semester instalment payment schedules and requires a tuition deposit at registration. The school's public admission pages do not publish a consolidated, line‑by‑line downloadable fee schedule for every item on the public pages located during this search.

If you require a direct copy of the school's formal fee schedule, a precise instalment calendar, or exact amounts for registration/deposit, boarding room type selection, meal plan tiers, uniform packages, and the school's detailed refund table, those items are not fully published in the school's public admission notices reviewed here and would need to be obtained from the school's admissions/finance office.
