Notes on availability of precise, per‑level numbers for AY 2025–2026

If you need the precise per‑grade, per‑term figures for a specific program (Preschool, Grade level, IB, College, FLEX/online, or TREX residence room rates), the school's accounting/registrar issues the official billing statement for the incoming student and will list the full itemization, payment plan options, and any applicable discounts or scholarship awards.
