Fees

Application fee
- A non‑refundable application fee is required at the time an application is submitted. The school requires completion of an application form and entrance assessments before processing; the school uses an online/input-based fee calculator to compute individual student fees rather than publishing a single public fee table.

Tuition fees (by year group; per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a single, fixed public table of per‑year/per‑term tuition amounts; tuition is computed per student through the school's fee calculator.
- Third‑party published figures and school listings indicate typical annual tuition levels reported for recent years as follows (these are reported values from external sources, not a standard single published table):
- Preschool / Early Years: reported starting around PHP 82,000–90,000 per year.
- Elementary: reported higher than preschool, historically in four‑ and five‑figure PHP totals (well above the preschool starting range).
- High School: reported historical figures for older year groups in the mid‑five‑figure to low‑six‑figure PHP range per year (historical examples exist; current per‑grade figures are not published as a single public table).
- Because the school calculates fees per applicant (using the information families provide), parents will receive a computed term and annual amount for a specific year group and any applicable extras when the school runs the fee calculation for that student.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment of school fees is required for official enrollment.
- Payments made before June 1 are eligible for an early‑payment discount.
- A cash payment discount of 10% is applied when fees are paid in cash.
- A sibling discount applies to the tuition fee of the youngest child as follows: 2 children = 25% (youngest), 3 children = 50% (youngest), 4 children = 75% (youngest), 5 children = 100% (youngest).
- The school requires completion of enrollment formalities (including payment) to secure a slot; specific installment dates and official billing cycles are calculated and communicated per family rather than published as a single public schedule.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school; no public boarding fee schedule is published and boarding services are not listed among the school's services.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Transportation: school bus service is offered; fares vary by route and distance. Reported starting price for two‑way bus service is approximately PHP 4,000 per month.
- Meals / Food: hot lunches are available in the dining hall (additional charges apply if using meal service).
- Special needs / additional learning support: students requiring SPED or English‑language support may incur additional specialist fees; external and historical sources note extra charges for SPED/ESL support where applicable.
- Uniforms, textbooks, basic stationery and school supplies, extracurricular/activity fees, field trips, and program‑specific costs (for example, summer camps or specialist classes) are additional to tuition and are charged as appropriate. Uniforms are required. Examples of extracurricular program fees have been published in social/parent channels (e.g., seasonal program fees such as martial arts offerings).

Refund information
- The school requires payment for enrollment and does not publish a detailed public refund policy or a standard refund table on the public admissions pages. Refunds or deposit return conditions (if any) are handled according to the school's enrollment and billing rules as applied at the time of registration; the school communicates specific billing/refund terms per enrollment.

Fee payment options
- Cash is accepted (a 10% cash payment discount is published). Specific information about accepted electronic payment methods (bank transfer, credit card) and the school's invoicing or banking details are not published as a single public list; those details are provided to families during the admissions/billing process.

Summary (what parents can expect)
- The school computes fees individually for each applicant rather than publishing a single public fee table; families receive a computed per‑term and per‑year figure when the school runs the fee calculation for the student.
- Early payment, cash and sibling discounts are explicitly applied as described above.
- Typical additional charges to plan for include bus fare (from ~PHP 4,000/month), meal plans, uniforms, textbooks, specialist support (if needed), and extracurricular program fees.

If you need the school's computed fee figures for a specific child's year group, the school provides individualized fee calculations and the admissions office publishes and applies the discounts and service charges listed above when producing the invoice.
