Fees
Application & registration fees
- Registration (one‑time, non‑refundable): RM 3,000.
- Refundable deposit (payable on enrolment): RM 3,000 (refundable under the school's deposit terms).

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term amounts)
- Lower secondary (example: Year 7): RM 19,710 per year. Per term (approx., annual ÷ 3): RM 6,570.
- Upper secondary / IGCSE (example: Year 11): RM 22,950 per year. Per term (approx., annual ÷ 3): RM 7,650.

Notes on the per‑term figures
- The school publishes tuition as annual amounts; the per‑term figures above are calculated by dividing the annual fee by three to show term‑level equivalents and are presented as approximations.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The published tuition figures are presented as annual fees. Termly billing (three equal payments across the academic year) is a common invoicing pattern used for comparable schools; the per‑term amounts given above are therefore shown as three equal instalments of the annual fee (approximation). Specific invoice dates, due dates, late‑payment penalties and any instalment plan options are not published in the available fee summaries.

Boarding fees
- The school does not offer boarding.

Other costs and typical exclusions (one‑off or recurring)
- Uniform set (one‑time): RM 500 for a full set (standard wear plus PE kit) as an all‑in uniform charge reported for the school.
- Additional costs commonly charged separately and not included in the annual tuition: textbooks and learning materials, external examination fees (Cambridge/IGCSE subject entry), school trips and camps, specialised extracurricular activities, school transport and meals. These items are normally budgeted as extra costs beyond the annual tuition.

Refund information
- A refundable deposit of RM 3,000 is listed; details of the refund schedule, timing and conditions for reclaiming the deposit or for tuition refunds are not publicly detailed in the fee summaries consulted.

Fee payment options
- No explicit list of accepted payment channels (for example: local bank transfer details, international transfer instructions, credit card acceptance or dedicated payment portals) is published in the fee summaries reviewed. Common payment methods for comparable schools include bank transfer and card payments, but those payment methods are not confirmed for this school in the publicly available fee summaries.

Summary of the key fee items for parent budgeting
- Registration fee: RM 3,000 (one‑time).
- Refundable deposit: RM 3,000.
- Annual tuition examples: Year 7 RM 19,710 (≈ RM 6,570 per term); Year 11 RM 22,950 (≈ RM 7,650 per term).
