Application / Admission Fees
- Application / admission fee: ₦40,000 (one-off on application).
Tuition fees (per term / per year by year group)
- The school does not publish a current publicly available, itemised tuition schedule broken down by year group and by term for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. No up-to-date per-term or per-year group tuition figures were found in the public fee information accessible during this review.
- A historical inspection report (2015) records an annual fee for day pupils of USD 10,440; no boarding annual fee was recorded in that report. This figure is historical and included only for reference where a numeric value was available; it does not represent a confirmed current year fee.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No publicly posted, detailed billing schedule (term dates tied to invoice deadlines), or formal payment-terms document for 2025/26 or 2026/27 was located. Parents should expect schools of this type to use termly or annual invoicing with payment deadlines before the start of terms, but no specific schedule or penalty details were available.
Boarding fees
- The school is listed as offering both day and boarding education. However, no current published boarding-fee amounts, breakdown (full boarding vs. weekly/midweek), or boarding-term billing details were found. A 2015 inspection record included no boarding fee figure.
Other costs and recurring fees
- No up-to-date, itemised lists and prices for other mandatory charges (uniform, textbooks, activity fees, examination fees, transport, meals/mess, medical, learning-support supplements, or capital/development levies) were available in the public materials reviewed. An application/admission fee is recorded (see above).
Refund information
- No current, publicly available refund policy or detailed terms (for withdrawal before term start, mid-term withdrawal, or deposits/acceptance fee refunds) was located in the available public materials.
Fee payment options
- No explicit, published list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer details, local-currency account information, online card payment, or third‑party payment portals) was publicly posted in the materials that were available. Contact details (telephone and email) are published for direct enquiries.
Summary of findings and limits of publicly available fee information
- The only clear, itemised fee discovered in publicly accessible directories during this review was an application/admission fee of ₦40,000. A historical inspection report from 2015 provided a single annual figure for day pupils (USD 10,440) but no current per-year-group or per-term schedule, no boarding fee figures, and no published payment terms or refund policy for the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic years. The school's published contact phone numbers and email address are available for direct fee confirmation.
- Because a full, current fee schedule (2026/27 or 2025/26) listing tuition by year group and details such as term amounts, boarding charges, uniform costs, refund rules, and accepted payment methods was not found in publicly accessible sources, those specific figures could not be provided here.
