- Absence/leave and mid-term admissions or withdrawals: fees remain payable if a student is on leave during term time. Attendance on any day in a month renders the tuition fee payable for the entire month.
Capital levy (additional mandatory charge)

- One-off capital levy (single payment): HKD 80,000.
- Capital levy rules: the annual capital levy is non-transferable and non-refundable; the one-off capital levy is non-refundable but transferable. Sibling discount: the capital levy is charged in full for the first two children; for the third and subsequent children parents are required to pay 50% of the capital levy provided the first two children have already paid full capital levy and are still studying at the school.
Boarding fees

Refund information
- Capital levy refunds: the annual capital levy is non-refundable and non-transferable; the one-off capital levy is non-refundable but may be transferable under the school's stated terms.

- Withdrawal notice and consequences: a written withdrawal must be sent at least three calendar months before the student's last attendance date. If withdrawing a child at the end of the academic year a withdrawal letter must be received on or before 1 April; otherwise the school will assume the student is returning after the summer holiday and parents will be liable for the tuition fees for September even if the student does not return.
