Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fee

- The non-refundable online application fee is USD 100, payable at the time of application.

Tuition fees (annual and per-term by school level and student category)

- Tuition is presented as an annual amount by school level and student category. The school operates on a four-term academic calendar; the per-term figures shown below are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by four (per-term amounts are therefore an arithmetic division of the annual fee by four).

- Primary (Mission student): Annual tuition USD 3,280 — Per term (calculated) USD 820.

- Primary (Non-mission student): Annual tuition USD 3,812 — Per term (calculated) USD 953.

- Secondary (Mission student): Annual tuition USD 4,600 — Per term (calculated) USD 1,150.

- Secondary (Non-mission student): Annual tuition USD 5,980 — Per term (calculated) USD 1,495.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The academic year runs from early August to late June and is organised in four terms (Term 1: August, Term 2: October, Term 3: January, Term 4: April). Tuition figures are published as annual amounts; transport fees are explicitly charged per term. Per-term billing is computed here by dividing the annual tuition by four. Specific payment deadlines, penalties for late payment, and whether tuition may be paid annually, termly, or by another schedule are set by the school's finance office.

One-off and other mandatory fees

- Capital levy (one-off) USD 750.

- Security/administrative deposit: NPR 20,000 (Rs 20,000).

Transport (optional) and related fees

- Bus service (to/from Kathmandu): USD 110 per student per term.

- Van service (to Patan area): USD 90 per student per term.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable; the school is operated as a day school. No boarding fee is published.

Uniforms and dress-code

- There is no school uniform; students must follow the school's dress code. No mandatory uniform fee is listed.

Other potential costs

- Transport is charged separately (see transport fees above). Additional costs that commonly apply at schools (exam/assessment fees, activity or curriculum fees, textbooks, lunches, insurance, optional extracurricular charges) are not itemised in the publicly available fee summary; such items may be charged separately and should be confirmed with the school finance office.

Refund information

- A formal withdrawal form is provided by the school and is used for student withdrawal procedures; specific refund rules (refundability of deposits, timing or percentage of refunds for tuition or other fees on withdrawal) are set out in the school's withdrawal/refund policy. The withdrawal form is available through the school's forms section.

Fee payment options

- The school accepts electronic bank transfers (NMB Bank Limited — international transfer details and SWIFT code are published for payments to Nepal). Card payments and online donations/payments can be processed when card details are provided to the finance/donations contact; PayPal and partner donation gateways are also used for international payments. For local and international payments the school provides bank account details and can process card/PayPal payments. Specific instructions for paying school fees (payment references, invoice numbers, charges for international transfers, and accepted card processing for tuition) are handled by the school's finance office.

Brief summary of findings and limits of publicly available information

- The published, verifiable items available include: the online application fee (USD 100), annual tuition rates for Primary and Secondary students (separate mission and non-mission rates), a one-off capital levy (USD 750), a deposit (Rs 20,000), and transport fees stated per term (USD 110 bus; USD 90 van). The school operates on a four-term calendar (Term 1 August; Term 2 October; Term 3 January; Term 4 April). These individual items are published; however, a full, itemised fee schedule showing exact per-term billing notices, formal payment deadlines, detailed lists of all possible ancillary fees (textbooks, exam fees, activity fees by grade), and explicit refund terms are not published in a single publicly accessible fee schedule. The school's withdrawal form and the admissions/forms pages indicate that refund/withdrawal rules exist but the full refund policy text is not available in the publicly viewable documents located during this review.
