It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Fountain International School operates two campuses in San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines. The Elementary campus is at 14 Annapolis Street, corner Purdue Street, Greenhills, San Juan 1502. The High School campus is at Government Center, corner Col. Bonny Serrano, San Juan 1500. The campuses are located in central Manila districts with convenient access to major roads and local amenities.
The school offers preschool, primary (grade school), and secondary (high school) programs. The Cambridge-accredited framework is used across these levels, with a pathway from Cambridge Primary through IGCSE and AS/A Levels.
It is a private, non-sectarian Cambridge-accredited international school. The school serves students from diverse cultures and ages across its preschool, primary, and secondary sections.
An English as a Second Language (ESL) curriculum supports non-native English speakers within the primary program. The secondary program also integrates Cambridge-based language and literacy support as part of the curriculum.
There is no stated country affiliation; the school is described as a Philippine international school.
The school is non-sectarian with no religious affiliation indicated.
The official pages do not publish a fixed daily timetable. Campus hours appear to run on Weekdays with the Annapolis campus around 8:00–17:00 and the Santolan campus around 7:30–17:00; Saturday hours are shorter (roughly 7:30–12:00) depending on the campus. Families should confirm exact timings with the Admissions Office.
No school-run bus service is advertised on the official pages. Transportation to and from the campuses is typically via public transit or private arrangements; the campuses are served by local bus routes and nearby transit stops.
Application fees
- Application and testing fee: PHP 2,500. This is a non‑refundable, non‑transferable fee and is due upon submission of the application. The application/testing fee is collected at the Cashier's office and must be paid in cash as stated in the admissions procedure.
Tuition fees (by year group / per term)
- The school does not publish detailed tuition and per‑term fee schedules in its publicly available admissions or school pages. No official per‑year or per‑term tuition figures are listed in the school's public materials; third‑party school directories also list Fountain International School's yearly fees as not publicly provided. Because specific tuition numbers by year group and by term are not published, exact tuition amounts cannot be stated here.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- A non‑refundable reservation/confirmation fee of PHP 50,000 is required upon official enrollment. This reservation fee secures the pupil's slot. The school's admissions procedure explains when this fee is paid but does not publish a full term/annual billing calendar or detailed installment schedule in its public materials. A refundable slot reservation fee may be accepted for waitlisted applicants (the waitlist fee is explicitly described as refundable while the enrollment reservation fee is described as non‑refundable).
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding program or boarding fees are described in the school's public information about its campuses, facilities, or admissions. There is no published boarding provision for the Manila campuses in the available school pages, so no boarding fees are listed. (This is an inference based on the absence of boarding information in the school's public campus/facilities/admissions materials.)
Other costs and fees
- Testing fee: included with the PHP 2,500 application/testing payment.
- Reservation fee on enrollment: PHP 50,000 (non‑refundable).
- Waitlist slot reservation fee: explicitly described as refundable for families who choose to secure a position on the official waitlist.
- Special Study Permit (SSP) and immigration processing for foreign students: the school states it will assist with SSP processing but the immigration/SSP fees are separate and payable as required by the Bureau of Immigration; the school notes that the corresponding fee(s) must be paid.
- The school's public materials do not list separate amounts for uniforms, textbooks, exam entry fees (Cambridge/IGCSE/AS/A‑Level), extracurricular charges, school trip costs, transport, or cafeteria/canteen plans. No published schedule of these ancillary charges was found in the available admissions or facilities pages.
Refund information
- The application/testing fee (PHP 2,500) is non‑refundable and non‑transferable.
- The reservation fee required upon official enrollment (PHP 50,000) is described as non‑refundable.
- A refundable slot reservation fee is available for applicants placed on the official waitlist; that waitlist reservation is refundable per the admissions procedure.
Fee payment options
- The application/testing fee is collected at the Cashier's office and stated to be payable in cash.
- The school's Frequently Asked Questions note that the registration fee can be paid online by calling the school contact numbers for more information, indicating that at least some registration payments can be arranged through online or remote payment methods when coordinated with the school. No comprehensive list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer details, specific card processors, or online payment platforms) is published in the school's public admissions materials.
Summary of findings and limitations
- Confirmed and published on the school's admissions pages: the application/testing fee (PHP 2,500), the non‑refundable reservation fee on enrollment (PHP 50,000), the refundable waitlist reservation option, and the requirement that the application/testing fee be paid at the Cashier (cash).
- Not published in the school's public materials: detailed tuition fee amounts by year group or per term; a full billing calendar or installment schedule; itemized ancillary charges (uniform, textbooks, exam entry fees, transport, etc.); and an authoritative list of accepted payment channels. Third‑party school directories likewise identify the school's yearly tuition as not publicly listed.
If you require exact per‑year and per‑term tuition figures, the school's admissions/accounting office is the listed source for the current academic year fee schedule, since those detailed tuition figures are not published in the school's public admissions materials.
