Fee Breakdown

Fees

Tuition (by year and by term)
- Tuition: RMB 210,000 per academic year.
- Billing frequency: billed per semester at RMB 105,000 per semester.

Application / entrance fees
- The admissions procedure requires payment of an entrance-exam (registration) fee to secure a test place; no specific public figure for a separate, one‑time application/registration fee was published in the sources reviewed.

Boarding, meals and learning materials (other compulsory annual charges)
- Boarding: RMB 15,000 per academic year for boarding in a four‑person standard room (description provided as four‑person standard room with private bathroom).
- Meals: RMB 16,000 per academic year (three meals plus two light meals; combination of Chinese and Western cuisine indicated).
- Textbooks and materials: RMB 7,500 per academic year.
- Uniform: RMB 3,800 one‑off (covers four‑season uniform and sportswear).

Exam and assessment fees; other expected additional costs
- External examination fees (for Cambridge/CAIE/IGCSE/A‑Level subjects) are charged per subject; a commonly cited order‑of‑magnitude for single CAIE exam papers is around RMB 1,500 per subject (actual per‑subject fees vary by subject and exam session).
- Other typical additional costs mentioned in public summaries include extracurricular activity fees, competition/contest fees, and personalized university‑application services; these “hidden cost” items were estimated in the sources at roughly RMB 20,000– RMB 30,000 per year but are variable by family choices.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's published admissions process indicates that payment of tuition is part of the final enrollment steps (parents pay tuition fees at the point of acceptance/enrolment). Several public sources present the tuition on a per‑semester basis (two equal instalments per academic year).
- No publicly available, detailed instalment schedule (specific due dates or late‑payment penalties) was located in the materials reviewed.

Boarding fees (detail)
- Boarding fee: RMB 15,000 per year (four‑person standard room; sources explicitly list this annual amount and room type). Meal charges are listed separately (RMB 16,000 per year).

Refund information
- No explicit, publicly posted refund or tuition‑cancellation policy was located in the reviewed admissions and school materials. The sources reviewed do not publish a clear, itemized refund schedule for term‑withdrawal, failed visa, or other withdrawal scenarios. This absence was noted in the review of official admissions descriptions and the public fee summaries.

Fee payment options (channels)
- The school did not publish a specific list of accepted payment channels in the public admissions material reviewed. General payment methods commonly used by comparable international schools (for context) include international bank transfer, credit/debit card payment, and third‑party cross‑border tuition platforms (Flywire / similar services), but those are general industry examples rather than school‑specific published options. No school‑specific payment channels were found in the available public material.
