Application Fees
A one-time application fee of HK$2,800 is required for all new applicants. Once a place is offered, families are billed an advance payment equal to one month’s tuition fee, credited toward the September bill. This acts as a non-refundable reservation fee for the next academic year.

There is no separate re-registration fee, as continuing enrolment is confirmed through the advance payment each year.
