- All enrolled students are billed for the full year's tuition; private‑pay families may elect installment plans. Installment plan options include Semester, Quarter, and Monthly plans; plan surcharges (example from school policy) were USD 250 (Semester), USD 350 (Quarter), and USD 500 (Monthly) when an installment plan is chosen. The school may place an unpaid account on a default installment plan if no arrangement is made.
- For students enrolling after the start of the school year, tuition is billed for the semesters the student will attend (either in full or for the initial semester) and other relevant fees are billed in full.
- Returned checks and late payments incur penalties. Repeated non‑payment may result in placement of the offered place to another student.

- Point‑of‑Service (POS) payments at the Business Office (POS payments may carry a small surcharge).

- Families who require invoicing for employer payment should work directly with the Business Office's billing function; invoices for employer‑paid tuition are expected to be paid in full by the due date.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school is an independent, non‑profit day school (no boarding houses are operated).

Uniforms, supplies and additional costs
- Uniforms and required supplies are additional to tuition and are purchased separately. The school lists approved uniform suppliers (School Kit Shop and United Uniforms) and specifies uniform expectations; costs for uniform sets and supplies vary by supplier and grade level.

Refunds and non‑refundable items

Notes about invoicing and employer billing
- Employer‑paid invoices (guaranteed enrollment or company arrangements) are invoiced to the company and are expected to be paid in full by the invoice due date; families whose employers pay tuition should provide the Business Office with the appropriate billing contact.
