Fees
Application fees

- An application/registration fee is required when submitting an application. An admission fee is required to confirm an offered place. The school's public admissions materials state these fees must be remitted at application/confirmation, but no specific amounts for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year are published in the school's public fee documents.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- No published schedule of tuition amounts by year group, and no per-term or per-year numeric tuition figures for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year, are available in the school's public fee materials. The school's mandatory-disclosure documents point to a fee-structure file but the public pages do not display a breakdown of fees by class or term. As a result, exact tuition figures per term or per academic year cannot be stated here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school requires payment of application/registration and admission fees at the steps described in the admissions process. No detailed billing schedule (term dates for fee payment, instalment due dates, late-payment penalties, or annual-versus-term billing breakdown) is presented in the school's public admissions or general information pages.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- Boarding is offered for students (the school states boarding is available for Grades 4–12). The presence of boarding implies separate boarding/lodging charges, but no separate boarding-fee amounts or a boarding-fee breakdown are published in the school's publicly available fee materials for 2026/27 (or 2025/26).

Other costs and charges

- The school lists several services and facilities that normally carry additional charges (examples: transport—air-conditioned buses are provided—meals, uniforms, textbooks, laboratory/IT charges and extracurricular program fees). The school's public pages mention transport and boarding services, but they do not publish the associated charges or an itemised list of ancillary fees. Therefore, specific amounts for uniforms, transport, meals, books, lab fees, or activity fees are not available in the school's public fee information.

Refund information

- No published refund policy, security-deposit amount, or explicit terms for refunds/returns of deposits are presented in the school's public admissions or mandatory-disclosure documents for 2026/27 (or 2025/26). Where refundable deposits or security deposits are normally charged by many schools, the school's public materials do not provide numeric values or procedural details for refunds.

Fee payment options

- No explicit list of accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, debit card, online bank transfer, UPI, cheque, or cash) or payment-provider instructions is published in the school's publicly available admissions or fee-disclosure pages. The admissions process indicates fees must be remitted as part of application/confirmation, but the public materials do not set out the accepted payment channels or online payment portal details.

Summary of findings: the school's public admissions information confirms that application/registration and admission fees are required and confirms the availability of boarding and transport, but the school does not publish numeric fee amounts, per-term or per-year tuition figures, a detailed billing schedule, payment-method details, or refund-policy specifics in its publicly available fee documents for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year. The items above list the fee categories and which elements are not published so that parents can see which charges to expect even though exact amounts are not listed.
