Billing schedule and payment terms

- Standard billing cadence: fees are charged on a per‑semester basis for both domestic and international programmes; tuition is collected each semester.
- Payment timing: tuition and any required prepayment/deposit are generally due before the start of the term; the school issues term billing and collects the semester tuition and any accommodation or material fees in advance of registration/arrival. Prepayment amounts are reported in the ranges above.
- Consequences for non‑payment and late payment: standard practice is that students are not permitted to attend / register until required fees are paid; specific late‑payment penalties or timelines are set by the school in its enrolment and billing rules.

Refunds and withdrawal / prorated refunds

- Refund calculations for withdrawal, transfer or suspension are governed by Shanghai municipal rules that apply to private primary and secondary schools:
- If withdrawal is completed before the start of term (school calendar working day), the school must refund the full amount of tuition and boarding fees already collected;
- If withdrawal occurs after the term starts but total class time attended is less than or equal to one‑third of the term, the school must refund two‑thirds of tuition and boarding fees;
- If attendance is more than one‑third but not more than one‑half of the term, the school must refund one‑half of tuition and boarding fees;
- If attendance exceeds one‑half of the term, no refund of tuition or boarding fees is required.
- Other refundable items (for example refundable deposits) and the administrative timing for refunds are subject to the school's invoicing and finance procedures.

Fee payment options (commonly accepted methods)

- Typical accepted payment methods at schools in Shanghai include: bank transfer / bank remittance to the school's designated bank account, bank direct debit or batch bank collection, and online self‑service payment channels (e.g., QR‑code payment via platforms such as WeChat Pay or Alipay where the school supports them). On‑site payment counters or card payments for specific items may also be available during registration.
