Billing schedule and payment terms

- Capital Levy (seat reservation) is payable to reserve a place and is typically required by 30 April; the seat reservation is commonly held until the end of the seat-holding period. Full-tuition deadlines and invoice due dates are set by the school each year; invoices list due dates and accepted payment methods. As a courtesy, the tuition amount is often allowed to be split 60%/40% with the final instalment required by 30 November.
- Tuition invoices are to be paid within a short period after issuance (stated terms require prompt settlement; the school provides written invoices with exact due dates). Annual tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable. New students who join after a term starts are normally charged for the entire semester. Sibling discounts apply: 10% on the second concurrently enrolled child, 20% on the third child and onward.
- Late/returned-payment actions and charges: returned checks incur a USD 100 fee and restrictions on future check payments; the school's historic fee notices include a flat late-fee of USD 100 plus an additional interest/penalty rate of 5% per month on overdue balances. Accounts significantly delinquent may be subject to seat cancellation.

Boarding

- ARIS is a day school only; no boarding provision is offered and therefore no boarding fees apply.
