Tuition fees — per term / billing frequency

- Tuition is published as an annual total by year group. The school issues an Educational Services Agreement to enrolled families that contains the specific billing schedule and payment terms; families receive that agreement during the admissions/acceptance process.

Billing schedule and payment terms

Administrative services and document requests are payable by bank transfer to the school account.
- Uniform: the school is listed in independent school directories as not requiring a uniform. Specific clothing or dress-code expectations for students are determined by the school and communicated to families.
- Extracurricular programs, Summer Academy sessions, special exams or optional trips may carry additional fees; those activities and their charges are managed separately from standard tuition and are announced when applicable.

Refund information

- The security deposit (600 GEL) is refundable at the end of the senior year, less any deductions permitted under the Educational Services Agreement. The Educational Services Agreement clauses govern other refund scenarios and any deductions.

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer to the school's TBC Bank account is an established payment method and is used for application fees, document-service fees, and other school payments (the school provides the account details during the application or administrative process). For document-service payments the school explicitly accepts bank transfers. The Educational Services Agreement provided to families sets out the accepted payment methods for tuition and any other permitted instruments.

Discounts / financial assistance

- Sibling discount: a 15% discount is available for an elder sibling when two or more siblings are enrolled simultaneously (applicable to high school students). Tuition abatement (need- and merit-based financial assistance) is offered annually through a formal application process; recipients must meet academic and behavioural conditions to retain abatement.

Contact and payment logistics

- For payments and account details, families use the bank-account information supplied by the school during application or in the enrollment package; the school's admissions office provides the Educational Services Agreement and billing schedule to enrolled families.
