Accounting office hours for submitting the registration form and assessment fee are listed as Sunday–Wednesday, 09:00–13:00. Test results and admissions communications are handled on the timeline stated in admissions documentation. For precise billing dates, installment options, and penalties, parents must refer to the official fee schedule provided by the Accounting office.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - Modern Education School is described through its facilities and divisions as a day school; no boarding provision or boarding facilities are listed on the school's public pages. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable.

Refund conditions and any applicable deadlines are handled by the Accounting office and will be included in the official fee schedule or enrollment contract provided by the school.
Fee payment options - The publicly available admissions materials identify the Accounting office as the point for submitting registration and assessment payments and list office contact details and hours, but they do not publish a complete list of accepted payment methods (for example: cash, bank transfer, debit/credit card, online portal). Parents should contact the Accounting office directly to confirm which payment methods are accepted and to request the official payment instructions.
How to obtain the official numerical fee schedule - Exact numerical tuition amounts (per year group and per term), the amounts of the application/assessment fee, any installment options, and detailed schedules are not posted publicly; parents must request the official fee schedule and payment terms from the school's Accounting office or the division admissions contact.
