Application fees
- No current, publicly-published application or acceptance fee schedule for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was found. Historical reporting from 2016 identified an acceptance fee and registration fee (reported then as a non‑refundable acceptance fee of ₦2,000,000 and a registration fee of ₦40,000), but those figures are historic and not presented by the school as current rates.
Tuition fees by year group (term / annual)
- No current detailed termly or annual tuition schedule for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was publicly available. The only verifiable published fee figure located is from an earlier inspection report (2015) which recorded an annual day‑pupil fee of USD 10,440; that figure is historic and should not be treated as the current year fee.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No current published billing schedule or formal payment‑terms document for 2026/27 or 2025/26 (term dates aside) was located. Older public reports of CIS fee notices referenced termly invoicing and late‑payment penalties (an item from 2016 noted a late‑payment interest practice described in that notice), but up‑to‑date billing schedules and exact penalty rates were not published online.
Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Boarding is offered for students from Year 6 through Year 13. No current boarding fee amounts for 2026/27 or 2025/26 were publicly published.
Other costs and incidental fees (uniform, exams, PTA, transport, extras)
- Uniform, PTA contributions, examination entries and other typical school extras are included among additional costs charged to families at many schools; specific current amounts for uniform, exam fees, transport, or optional co‑curricular charges for 2026/27 or 2025/26 were not publicly available for CIS. Historical media reporting (2016) flags uniform, PTA and other ancillary charges in addition to acceptance/registration fees, but specific up‑to‑date amounts were not published.
Refund information
- No current published refund policy for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was found. Historical reporting from 2016 described the acceptance fee as non‑refundable at that time; no current published terms for refunds (term withdrawal, mid‑term departure, or exceptional refunds) were located.
Fee payment options
- No publicly-published, up‑to‑date list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, local credit/debit card, international card) for 2026/27 or 2025/26 was found. The school's publicly-listed contact addresses and admissions contacts are available for finance enquiries.
Brief note on results and limitations
- The school does not publish a current, detailed fee schedule for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years in a publicly-accessible format on its site or in other authoritative online documents that are available to the public. The only direct number located in a verifiable published document is an historical annual day fee (USD 10,440) from a 2015 inspection report; media and social posts from 2016 report acceptance and per‑year amounts in Naira but those reports are historic and were not confirmed as current school policy. Because a current fee schedule was not publicly posted, up‑to‑date termly and year‑group fee figures, current boarding charges, formal payment methods, and the present refund policy could not be reliably determined from available public sources.
