Preschool Age 3–5 monthly instalment payments also incur a 5% instalment fee. The school additionally notes pro‑rata calculations for mid‑year enrolments. Per-term amounts in this overview are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by three to give an estimated term figure; the school's published fees do not show explicit term breakdown numbers, but term payment is available with the stated 5% instalment surcharge.
- If a family requests withdrawal two months or more in advance (as stated for preschool and referenced in the elementary/middle notes), a refund will be made after withdrawal for qualifying payments; application fee, registration fee and deposit are non‑refundable after payment. Refunds for other fees are handled according to the school's regulations.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)
- The published admissions and fees information does not specify accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, Flywire or other international payment services are not listed on the fee pages). Parents should note that the school's fee pages provide the amounts, instalment rules, deposits and refund rules but do not publish the explicit payment channels on the admissions/fees pages.
If you require any of the numeric items above in a different format (for example, a single combined total for a family with multiple charges), the figures used here are taken from the school's published FY2026 admissions and fee notes and some per‑term figures are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by three to reflect a term payment view; the school's published materials state the instalment surcharge that applies when paying by term or monthly instalments.
The school serves local and international students, with around 280 students across the primary and middle school levels. Public materials do not publish the exact number of nationalities represented or the local-to-international ratio.
