These exam-related fees are invoiced in addition to tuition.

Refund information and withdrawal billing
- Registration fee and Capital Levy are non-refundable.
- Term charging: a student enrolled for any portion of a term will be charged for the full term (no pro‑rata reduction for partial-term attendance). Transcripts and official records will not be released until all outstanding payments and obligations are settled.
- Examination fee refunds: if an external examination body (for example the IB) waives or reimburses a specific exam fee (for example a successful Enquiry Upon Results where the examining body refunds the fee), that refunded amount will be passed back to the family.
