Fees
Application / Admission fee
- An admission (application/enrolment) fee is charged at the time of admission and is non‑refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (amounts)
- Specific per‑term or per‑year tuition amounts for any year group (Early Years / Primary / Middle Years / Diploma) are not published in the school's publicly available materials and therefore are not available here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- On receipt of confirmation of admission, the fees for the first term must be paid in full within 10 working days.
- For mid‑year admissions, the academic fees for the on‑going term must be paid at the time of admission.
- Cheques returned for insufficient funds incur a penalty of 10% of the cheque amount; late fee charges also apply. Outstanding fees after a returned cheque must be cleared within 48 hours; further payments will be accepted only by pay order / banker's cheque.

Security deposit / enrolment deposit
- A refundable security deposit is required at confirmation of admission. The security deposit is refundable by cheque (without interest) after the student has left the school, subject to all dues being cleared and no damage to school property or outstanding library/resource charges. The deposit will not be refunded if the student leaves halfway through the academic year or if the student has caused damage to school property.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school's published admission and policy documents do not include any boarding fee schedule. Public programme listings indicate day programmes; an external IB directory listing notes differing entries for programmes (some entries list day, one entry lists mixed boarding/day), but no boarding fees are published by the school itself. Therefore no boarding fee amounts can be provided here.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, transport, meals, activities, exams, etc.)
- The school's published admission policy confirms that uniform and books are issued/collected from the admin office after admission, but it does not publish prices for uniforms, books, transport, cafeteria/meals, exam/IB registration charges, co‑curricular activity fees, or transport fees. No specific amounts for these items are publicly available in the school's published materials.

Discounts and concessions
- Discounts and waivers described in the school's admission policy:
- Academic and administration staff: 100% waiver of enrolment fees and 50% discount in term fees. Support staff: 100% waiver in enrolment and term fees and 50% discount in other facilities (cafeteria & transportation).
- Sibling concession: 50% discount in enrolment fees and 10% discount in term fees for siblings (subject to the school's terms).
- 5% of yearly admissions are allocated to the local community as concessionary places.

Refund information
- Admission (enrolment) fees are non‑refundable once paid. Refund of tuition and other fees is governed by the school's Refund of Fees Policy (as referenced in the admission policy); the admission policy states that fees paid will not be refunded at mid‑year exit and specifies conditions under which the security deposit is refundable or forfeited. Specific refund amounts, prorations, or timelines beyond those policy statements are not published.

Fee payment options
- The admission policy describes payment by cheque and pay order / banker's cheque for certain situations (for example, after a cheque is returned). The school's public materials do not publish a full list of accepted payment methods (e.g., bank transfer details, online payments, credit card acceptance). No explicit list of accepted payment channels with instruction or account details is published in the available school policy documents.

Summary / availability of numeric fee figures
- The school's publicly available materials (school home pages and formal admission policy documents) contain descriptions of fee types, payment timing, deposit and refund rules, and sanctions for returned cheques, but they do not publish per‑term or per‑year tuition amounts, boarding charges, uniform prices, transport fees, meal charges, exam/IB registration fees, or a full list of accepted payment channels. Because no numeric fee schedule is published by the school in its public materials, specific amounts cannot be provided here.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
SEL supports self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal skills for school and beyond. Focus areas include Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, Responsible Decision-Making, and Wellbeing and Mindfulness. SEL is embedded in everyday school life within a Culture of Care and Belonging, with dedicated educators, counsellors, and wellness initiatives. Students learn to understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and navigate challenges with resilience and empathy. The program aims to nurture empathetic, respectful, and socially responsible individuals prepared to lead meaningful lives.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Inclusion is central to EGS. An Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is designed to meet a student's needs with parental consent, developed by the school psychologist in collaboration with the Learning Support staff, parents, and relevant professionals, to tailor learning goals and supports. Placement decisions are made by the Head of School in consultation with counsellors, SEN staff, and teachers, considering capacity and available resources. The school follows a Student Support Team (SST) process for identification, planning, and review, with ILPs reviewed at least once per semester and progress reported with appropriate modifications and accommodations. The policy emphasizes equitable access to learning, participation in the curriculum, and meaningful differentiation to maximize achievement for students with special educational needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English is the primary medium of instruction. Tamil and Hindi are offered as additional languages, with French and German provided as international languages at various stages. The Language Policy establishes language pathways, language support, mother tongue considerations, and alignment of language assessment across the IB programmes. From Early Years through Diploma Programme, learners undergo diagnostic assessments to determine language proficiency and are positioned in appropriate phases, with targeted support and transition arrangements to support continued language development.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is a core component of the Mind-Body-Soul approach and the SEL framework. Wellbeing and Mindfulness are explicitly addressed to promote emotional wellbeing, stress management, healthy habits, and balanced living. A Culture of Care and Belonging provides a safe, nurturing environment supported by counsellors and wellness initiatives. Staff training supports the identification of wellbeing needs and timely, appropriate interventions to support students' mental health.

Safeguarding
Safety and security are priorities across the campus. Procedures are regularly updated and staff receive training to maintain safety measures. Classrooms and facilities are monitored by CCTV, and campus security is supported by on-site personnel. The transport system comprises multiple routes with CCTV, air conditioning, protective seating, and a supervising janitor on board to assist students and ensure safe travel.
