Tuition fees (per year group and per term) - The school does not publish a publicly available, itemised per-term fee schedule for each year group for the 2026/27 academic year; the latest publicly available references do not include a complete per-term/per-year-group breakdown. - Third‑party local listings and press references indicate a typical session total for secondary students in the region reported as approximately NGN 1,200,000 per academic session (this figure is given as an overall session amount in local coverage and should be treated as an indicative figure rather than an itemised term-by-term official schedule).
Billing schedule and payment terms - Admissions and fee payments follow a structured process that begins with purchase of application forms and confirmation of payment using transaction/teller details; parents are required to present proof of payment for admission processing. The school's public admissions information instructs parents to confirm payments by phone or message using payment reference details. - External examination fees for WAEC/NECO and other listed external tests are included within the school fees for the session, according to school communications about past sessions. - The school's publicly available material does not contain a clearly posted term-by-term billing calendar or the explicit deadline dates and late‑payment penalties for the 2026/27 session; detailed due dates and penalties are provided to parents through the school's admission and billing communications at intake.
Boarding fees (where applicable) - Premiere Academy operates full boarding facilities; however, a separate published boarding‑fee amount for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 sessions is not listed in the publicly accessible materials. Parents should treat boarding as an additional cost element to the basic tuition bill, with boarding charges normally invoiced separately where applicable.
Other costs and recurring extras - Additional costs typically associated with attendance include school uniform, textbooks and learning materials, transport (if using school transport), personal medical/health charges, and optional extracurricular trips or programme fees; the school confirms that external examination fees are included in the school session fees. Specific prices for uniforms, textbooks, transport or activity fees are not published in a publicly accessible itemised list for the 2026/27 session.
Refund information - No publicly posted, itemised refund policy for application, registration, tuition or boarding fees for the 2026/27 session was located in available public materials; parents are advised that refund and cancellation terms are handled through the school's admission office and are communicated at the point of acceptance/enrolment.
Fee payment options - The school's admissions instructions indicate payments are made and then confirmed by providing teller/transaction/receipt numbers and contact details to the admissions office, which implies acceptance of bank deposit/transfer and teller/pay‑in payments; parents are asked to confirm payments with the school using the stated payment details. Specific public statements about acceptance of credit cards or online card payment platforms for school fees were not located in the publicly available material.
Brief summary of publicly available fee information - A full, itemised per-term, per-year-group fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (and for 2025/26) is not published in the publicly accessible materials reviewed; admissions pages confirm application form purchase and payment‑confirmation procedures, school communications state that external examination fees are covered by session fees, and third‑party local listings reference an indicative session cost (approximately NGN 1,200,000) for the region's secondary provision.
