Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application and testing fees
- Non‑refundable admission/assessment (testing) fee: PHP 1,500.00 (payable at the Accounting Office at the time of the scheduled entrance test).
- A FAQ entry also lists an assessment fee of PHP 1,200.00 for the entrance test; parents should note both figures may appear in school admissions materials.

Reservation / enrolment deposit
- Reservation (slot‑holding) fee: PHP 50,000.00. The reservation fee is deductible from the total matriculation cost but is non‑refundable. A slot is reserved only after all admission procedures are completed and this reservation fee is paid.

Tuition fees (per year / per term)
- No public, itemised tuition schedule (per grade level, per term or per year) for the 2026/27 academic year was published in the school's publicly available admissions and policy materials. Exact tuition amounts by year group and per‑term figures are therefore not available here.
- The school uses three payment schemes for tuition: annual payment (Scheme A), semi‑annual payment (Scheme B), and monthly installment payment (Scheme C). Early‑enrolment (early‑bird) discounts apply only to Scheme A and Scheme B.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- To secure a place, parents pay the reservation fee (PHP 50,000.00) once admission procedures and required documents are complete; that deposit is deducted from the total matriculation cost but is non‑refundable.
- Payment schemes: annual (Scheme A), semi‑annual (Scheme B) and monthly installments (Scheme C). Early‑bird discounts are available for families using Scheme A or B, with the following time windows and rates: January 7%, February 5%, March 5%. The sibling discount is 15% (applied to the younger applicant). These discounts apply only to tuition (not to the total matriculation cost).
- Office hours for in‑office payments to the Accounting Office for admissions/testing invoices are stated as weekdays, typically 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM; the admissions/testing fee is explicitly directed to be paid at the Accounting Office. Other specific billing dates or a public calendar of term‑by‑term invoices for tuition were not published in the school's admissions or policy materials.

Boarding fees
- Bannister Academy operates as a day school; boarding facilities are not provided. Boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and routine charges
- Clubs and co‑curricular charges: sample club fee—Chess Club (and Varsity) listed at PHP 10,000.00 for the whole school year (payment scheme: contact school registrar). Similar activity fees may apply for other clubs and varsity activities.
- Uniforms: the school requires a prescribed school uniform (uniform policy is part of school discipline guidance); specific uniform item costs are not published in the school's public materials.
- Transport: a school bus service is available for routes serving Ortigas‑Pasig‑Marikina‑Rizal‑Quezon City areas; a published transport fee or route price list was not included in the publicly available admissions materials.
- Miscellaneous fees (examples such as graduation, field trips, yearbook, ID replacement) are referenced in school policy; reservation fees and miscellaneous fees are identified as non‑refundable in admissions policy, though some as‑yet‑unapplied fees may be refundable in full. Specific amounts for miscellaneous line items are not published.

Refund and withdrawal policy
- Withdrawal refunds of tuition (where payment has already been made) follow this schedule: before classes start — 100% refund of the tuition fee; 1st week of classes — 90% refund of tuition fee; 2nd week of classes — 10% refund of tuition fee; 3rd week of classes and onwards — no refund. Reservation fees and miscellaneous fees are non‑refundable. These refund rules are set out in the school's admissions/admission policy documents.

Fee payment options and channels
- Admissions and testing payments are directed to be made at the school's Accounting Office (in‑office payment). The admissions policy specifies in‑office payment for the admission/testing fee and indicates the Accounting Office as the point of payment for admission‑related charges; public admissions materials do not publish a detailed list of additional electronic payment channels (bank transfer details, credit‑card gateway, or online payment links). Parents are instructed to follow the school's accounting instructions for matriculation and payment.

Notes for parents
- Merit scholarships: the school can grant merit scholarships for Grades 7–11 that cover full tuition (miscellaneous fees are excluded); scholarship awards are limited and based on entrance performance and previous academic record.

Summary of information coverage: the admissions and policy documents specify admission/testing fees, the reservation fee amount and its treatment, the available payment schemes and discounts, the withdrawal/refund percentages, the non‑boarding status, and a small number of activity fees. A public, grade‑by‑grade tuition schedule showing per‑term and per‑year tuition amounts for SY 2026/27 (or SY 2025/26) was not published in the school's publicly accessible admissions or policy materials; therefore exact per‑term and per‑grade fee figures cannot be supplied here.
