Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application & Registration Fees

- Registration (one-off) by year group:
- Foundation – Prep 1: USD 90 per student.
- Prep 2 – Grade 4: USD 95 per student.
- Grade 5 – Grade 8: USD 105 per student.
- Grade 9 – Grade 10: USD 120 per student.
- Grade 11 – Grade 12: USD 150 per student.

- Entrance exam / assessment fee: USD 100 (charged at registration/assessment).

Capital Levy and One‑time Charges

- Capital levy (one‑time, payable on enrolment): USD 895 per student.
- Educational/material fee: charged annually (paid once per year). Specific annual material fee amounts are published by the school.

Tuition Fees (per term, by year group)

- Foundation – Prep 1: USD 1,200 per term.
- Prep 2 – Grade 4: USD 1,300 per term.
- Grade 5 – Grade 8: USD 1,400 per term.
- Grade 9 – Grade 10: USD 1,600 per term.
- Grade 11 – Grade 12: USD 2,000 per term.

Annual totals (illustrative)

- The school operates on a three‑term year; the recurring tuition component equals three times the term fee for the relevant year group. Examples based on the term fees above: Foundation/Prep 1 recurring tuition = USD 3,600 per year; Grade 11–12 recurring tuition = USD 6,000 per year (excluding one‑time charges and annual material fee).

Billing Schedule & Payment Terms

- The academic year is divided into three terms and fees are billed termly in advance.
- Re‑registration/registration and the first term fee are required within the school's published payment window prior to the start of the year. New admissions are required to settle registration and initial term payment immediately according to the school's enrolment instructions.
- Second‑term payment requests are issued in advance (the school raises a payment request at the start of the notice period) and carry a short payment deadline; third‑term billing follows the school's published schedule. Late payment triggers penalties: a 10% additional charge is applied to fees not paid on schedule, and the school may suspend the student's attendance if fees remain unpaid beyond the term start grace period. Registration, re‑registration, material fees and first term fee must be paid by the stated deadlines or the school may refuse enrolment for the forthcoming year. ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON‑REFUNDABLE OR TRANSFERABLE.

Sibling Discount

- Sibling discounts apply to term fees only: 5% discount on the term fee for the second child; 10% discount on the term fee for the third and subsequent children.

Boarding / Accommodation Fees

- The school operates multiple day campuses and does not publish boarding or residential (hostel) fees. No separate boarding fees are listed.

Other Costs & Typical Additional Charges

- Annual educational/material fee (paid once per year) to cover learning materials and related supplies. Amounts are published by the school and charged annually.
- Capital levy (one‑time) and entrance/assessment fee noted above are charged in addition to per‑term tuition.
- Parents should budget for optional or occasional costs that may be charged separately (for example: school trips, external exam fees for Cambridge/IGCSE/A‑Level where applicable, specialist subject fees, and personal uniform or equipment purchases), as these are frequently invoiced in addition to the standard term and annual fees. Specific charges for these activities are set and published by the school when applicable.

Refund & Transfer Policy

- All standard fee payments are non‑refundable and non‑transferable. The school's finance policy applies penalties and may suspend attendance for unpaid fees. Any exceptions (if available) require explicit approval by the school finance office under the school's published terms.

Payment Methods & Currency Options

- Fees are payable in local currency (Ethiopian Birr) or, for foreign nationals and international organisations, may be settled in foreign currency using the school's foreign bank account details. The school provides foreign account details and will reference the official exchange rate for ETB conversions; organisations may arrange invoicing in foreign currency with confirmation from school finance. Bank transfers and official foreign account settlement are standard; parents should follow the school's published payment request slips and finance instructions for the accepted payment channels. (Credit card acceptance is not listed as a standard payment method in the published fee information.)

Late Payment Penalties & Enforcement

- A 10% penalty applies to fees not settled according to the payment schedule. If payment is not settled by the 5th day of the beginning of a term, the school may suspend the student from attendance until outstanding fees are settled. Failure to pay registration/re‑registration and first term fees by published deadlines may result in refusal to enrol the student for the coming academic year.

Contact / Finance Handling Notes

- The school issues formal payment request slips and notices to parents according to the published schedule; parents pay as instructed on those slips and retain official receipts. For payments in foreign currency or payments from international organisations, the school provides foreign account details and will quote the ETB equivalent using the official conversion rate in force at the time of invoicing.
