Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fee
- A one-time non-refundable application/registration fee is commonly charged; third‑party listings for NBIS report an application fee of RMB 5,000.

Tuition fees (detailed by school stage)
- Early Years (Early Years / Kindergarten): RMB 60,000 – RMB 70,000 per semester.
- Primary (Years 1–6): RMB 70,000 – RMB 90,000 per semester.
- Secondary (Years 7–13): RMB 90,000 – RMB 100,000 per semester.

- Alternative published breakdowns from independent school guides show the same order of magnitude for NBIS tuition and report comparable semester ranges (Early Years ≈ RMB 55,000 – RMB 60,000; Primary ≈ RMB 68,000 – RMB 73,000; Secondary ≈ RMB 78,000 – RMB 84,000), which aligns with the semester ranges above.

- Approximate annual cost (inference): NBIS quotes tuition per semester; if an academic year is calculated as two semesters, an approximate annual tuition range would be:
- Early Years: ~RMB 120,000 – RMB 140,000 per year (approx.).
- Primary: ~RMB 140,000 – RMB 180,000 per year (approx.).
- Secondary: ~RMB 180,000 – RMB 200,000 per year (approx.).

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Lunch: The school provides lunch service; the cost for lunches is additional to tuition and is billed separately.
- School bus / transportation: A Yellow School Bus service is provided; bus service is an additional charge.
- Uniform, textbooks, exam fees and extra‑curricular activities: these items are typically additional costs at international schools. NBIS materials indicate curricular/examination activity (IGCSE, A‑Level) and extra‑curricular programmes but do not publish a consolidated list of uniform or textbook charges.
