Billing schedule and payment terms

- Due date and delinquency: Tuition and fees must be received before or on the due date. Accounts more than 30 days delinquent (without prior arrangement) may result in suspension of the student until arrangements are made. Report cards, transcripts and diplomas will not be released until all financial obligations are settled.
- Late fee policy (school statements found in published materials):
- The Fees page states a late fee is 10% of the tuition cost.

Refund information (summary)
- Refunds on withdrawal follow the week‑based schedule listed under “Refunds on withdrawal.” Short‑stay boarding deposits for short‑stay applications are non‑refundable but applied to short‑stay charges. Transcripts and official records are withheld until financial obligations are satisfied.
Fee payment options and administrative process
- Invoicing and account access: Parents receive tuition invoices from the Finance Office at semester commencement and are provided parent accounts in the school management system (FACTS / ParentsWeb RenWeb) for access to student academic information and school billing. For payment arrangements and accepted payment methods, parents are directed to work with the Finance Office.
- The publicly available materials do not list an explicit, detailed menu of accepted payment channels (for example: bank transfer account numbers for tuition, specific credit card processing options, or online payment links) for regular tuition payments. When a parent needs specific payment channel details (bank transfer instructions, credit/debit card processing, local currency vs USD options), those details are provided directly by the Finance Office or on the billing/invoice issued to the family.
Brief summary of unavailable items (concise)
- The school's public fee pages and handbooks provide policies, deadlines, refunds and sample incidental charges, and they specify that current tuition amounts and exact boarding fees are supplied by the Finance Office or Registrar; however, the site does not publish a grade‑by‑grade or term‑by‑term tuition table in the public fee pages or handbooks. To obtain precise per‑grade and per‑term tuition figures for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year, contact the Finance Office or Registrar as the school's published material directs.
