- A 10% sibling discount on tuition fees is applied to each subsequent child after the eldest.

Late payment policy and penalties

- Fees are due by the invoice date. A cumulative late payment charge of 5% per month is applied after 15 days beyond the invoice due date. If payment is 30 days overdue the school may withhold student records and prohibit attendance until the account is brought up to date. Any bank or transaction charges incurred are charged to the student's account.

Payment methods and practical notes on payment

- Accepted methods: cheque drawn on a local bank denominated in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), direct bank transfer to the school's bank account, or cash deposit into the school's bank account (with proof of deposit provided to the registrar). Cash payments are not accepted at the TiS Registrar's office. Any bank charges arising from payment are charged to the payer. Tuition and fees are invoiced in RM only.

Boarding

- The school does not operate a regular boarding programme for students; boarding is not offered as a standard service. Boarding arrangements appearing for short youth leadership or camp programmes are separate and not ongoing boarding provision. Regular boarding fees are not listed because normal provision is a day-school model.

Other costs and additional fees

- Miscellaneous costs that are charged in addition to tuition include uniforms, textbooks, exercise books, school trips, external examination fees, and organised activities using external instructors (e.g., Karate, Drama, Dance, Tae‑Kwon‑Do). These costs are usually paid separately to suppliers or service providers unless otherwise notified. Extra‑curricular activities, technology devices, school camps, and some field trips are additional to the tuition amounts listed.

Refunds and deposit return

- The refundable deposit is returned only when a student disenrolls after giving a minimum one full term's (four months') prior written notice. Term fees already charged for a term in which the student leaves are not refundable. Refunds of the deposit require a written request and fulfilment of the notice requirement.
