Tuition fees by year group (general policy and how amounts are provided)
- Tuition is assessed individually and varies by grade level, branch (location), and learning modality (Face-to-Face, Online Distance Learning, Blended, or Homeschooling). A personalized School Fees Assessment is issued to each enrollee showing the exact tuition and other charges. No single, publicly posted set of fixed per-grade tuition figures is published for the Caloocan campus.
- Payment-term options available for the assessed tuition include Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual schedules; the School Fees Assessment will show amounts per chosen payment term. Examples of how this is implemented (refund/charge rules differ by payment mode) are listed under refund information below.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Available billing schedules: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual. The School issues a detailed School Fees Assessment and an online payment link or instructions for bank deposit; the assessment specifies amounts due per chosen billing schedule.
- Payment channels: online payment link (sent by email/SMS for Philippine numbers), over the branch cashier counter, or bank deposit via Starland EastWest, BPI, BDO, or UnionBank accounts.
- The school enforces a “no payment, no examination” policy for unpaid accounts and may withhold the student from class after repeated nonpayment; penalties for late payment are applied per school policy. If dues remain unpaid for an extended period, further administrative actions may follow.

Written promissory notes may be required and are subject to approval.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- Online payment link (sent by email/SMS), branch cashier counter payments, and bank deposits to Starland accounts at EastWest, BPI, BDO, or UnionBank are accepted. Payment term options include Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Annual.

Summary guidance for parents (what to expect on charges and invoice)
- The School will issue a personalized School Fees Assessment that lists tuition by grade and by the payment term you select; the assessment will show the breakdown of tuition, confirmation amount applied, any miscellaneous fees, and instructions for payment. Confirming enrollment for the Caloocan campus requires a payment of PHP 7,000; foreign students requiring immigration paperwork have an additional SSP processing fee of PHP 8,000. Refund and withdrawal rules depend on the chosen payment mode and timing; specific amounts are calculated from the student's assessed monthly rate and the timing of the withdrawal.
