Fees
Application / Registration / Admission fees
- The school charges a registration/application step and issues an Admission Fee payment link once an offer is made. Payment for registration and any application or admission charges is collected through the online admissions portal.

Tuition fees — published amounts by year group and per term
- Class‑by‑class tuition amounts (per term or per year) are not published online for the 2026/27 academic year (and no public 2025/26 class‑wise fee schedule is posted). The school provides the detailed, class‑wise fee schedule directly to families during the admissions/registration process.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment timing: Fees become payable on issuance of the invoice following an offer of admission; the full fee for an offered seat must be paid within five working days of the invoice being raised.
- Payment frequency: Fees may be paid on a quarterly, half‑yearly or yearly basis; these payment frequencies are available for fee billing.
- Payment channel: All school fee payments are handled through the school's secure online admissions/finance portal. Parents will receive a payment link (Admission Fee Payment link) by the school.
- Accepted payment methods: online payments via Debit/Credit Card and Net Banking are accepted for registration and fee payments.

Boarding / Day‑boarding
- The Ardee School, Goa operates as a co‑educational day‑boarding school; there is no full‑time residential boarding programme listed for the Goa campus. Therefore no separate full‑boarding fee schedule applies for this campus.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Transport: A managed school transport service is available; transport is run as a separate service and is generally charged in addition to tuition. Specific route availability, charges and payment terms for transport are arranged with the school.
- Meals: The campus operates an Earth Café and publishes weekly menus; meal/food arrangements are part of campus services and may be included or itemised separately depending on the chosen fee plan—families are provided menu and meal information in advance.
- Uniforms, books, stationery and examination charges: Uniforms, some exam entry fees (external examination bodies where applicable), school bus, and certain extracurricular or residential trip charges are treated as additional costs and may be billed separately from tuition. Parents are expected to budget for uniforms, stationary, external exam fees and optional paid activities. The school's admissions documentation lists uniforms and similar items among items to be purchased or paid for in addition to tuition.

Refunds, withdrawal and transfer‑out terms
- Notice and fee in lieu: A written notice period is required for withdrawal; a one‑quarter notice or a fee in lieu of one quarter must be provided when a student is withdrawn. Transfer Certificates are issued only after all outstanding dues are cleared.
- Refunds: Specific refund rules and any timelines for partial refunds of fees are handled under the school's admission and finance policies and are determined at the time of admission and invoicing. Transfer Certificate issuance is contingent on clearance of dues.

Invoicing and practical notes for payment processing
- Parents receive an invoice through the admissions/finance portal and must use the secure online payment link to complete registration/admission payments. The registration process is integrated with online payment and will generate an acknowledgement/Registration Number on successful payment.

Summary of available fee information and data limitations
- Detailed numeric fee amounts (per class, per term or per year) for the 2026/27 academic year are not published in publicly accessible materials; the school supplies a class‑wise fee schedule directly during the admissions/registration process. Because per‑class and per‑term prices are not publicly posted, exact per‑term and per‑year figures cannot be provided here. The factual items above reflect published process, payment methods, billing frequencies, day‑boarding status, common additional charge categories, and withdrawal/refund principles.
