Starland International School operates a multi-campus system across the Philippines. The Kamias Campus is at 148 Kamias Road, Brgy. East Kamias, Quezon City, and a Caloocan City campus is also listed. Other campuses are in Butuan City; Cagayan de Oro City; Davao City; and Cebu (Lapu-Lapu City). Additional branches in Isabela province (Santiago City and Cauayan City) were opened between 2017 and 2022.
The Kamias and Cebu campuses offer Preschool, Elementary, Junior High School, and Senior High School, reflecting a K-12 structure. The school's campuses collectively provide these four levels across locations.
Private and non-sectarian. The school operates as a private institution and is described as non-sectarian in external coverage. Boarding facilities are not indicated in official materials.
The school features a Learning Support Program to address diverse learner needs. Admissions note that a Health Certificate may be required for students with special conditions or needs, and a recommendation from a prior counselor or principal may be requested in some cases.
There is no formal country affiliation listed; the campuses are spread across the Philippines, indicating a national network rather than a country-specific affiliation.
No formal religious affiliation is stated. The school is described as non-sectarian, though events such as First Holy Communion are noted in school activities.
The school operates four modalities: Face-to-Face (F2F), Online Distance Learning (ODL), Homeschooling, and Blended Learning. On in-person campuses, classes run Monday–Thursday with Fridays set aside for asynchronous learning; this pattern is reflected across campus sections. Start/end times are not publicly published.
A school bus service is not listed in public materials. The school provides multiple campus locations with contact details but no published bus arrangements.
Application / Confirmation fees
- No separate reservation fee is required. Enrollment is confirmed by paying a confirmation amount of PHP 7,000 for Kamias, Online Distance Learning (ODL), Foreign learners, Caloocan, and Cebu branches, or PHP 5,000 for Butuan, Cagayan de Oro (CDO), and Davao.
- For foreign learners who require immigration processing, the Bureau of Immigration Special Study Permit (SSP) processing fee is PHP 8,000.
Tuition fees by year group (per-term / per-year detail)
- The school does not publish a single public schedule of tuition rates per grade and per term. Tuition levels vary by grade level, by campus/branch location, and by learning modality (Face-to-Face, Online Distance Learning, Blended, Homeschooling). A personalized School Fees Assessment is issued to each enrollee detailing the exact tuition and other charges. Because tuition is issued per-assessment rather than as a single public table, per-term and per-year numeric rates by grade group are not publicly listed.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Available billing frequencies: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual payment schemes. The chosen frequency appears on the School Fees Assessment and is the basis for invoicing.
- The Cashier issues a School Fees Assessment and sends an online payment link and instructions by email and SMS for Philippine numbers. The initial total due is calculated through the school's Enrollment Application process and appears on the assessment.
Payment methods and accounts
- Accepted payment channels include the online payment link provided in the School Fees Assessment, over-the-counter payments at the branch cashier, and bank deposits. Published bank options for deposits are Starland EastWest, BPI, BDO, and UnionBank. Specific account numbers and payment instructions are provided on the individual School Fees Assessment.
Boarding fees (where applicable)
- No boarding program or boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's published admissions information; boarding is not presented as an available option for any campus.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- Uniforms: A Starland uniform is required for Face-to-Face and Blended learners. For ODL learners a white polo shirt/blouse or the Starland uniform is optional. Uniform purchase and fitting are part of registration procedures and charged separately.
- School service (transport/bus): School service is available at Kamias Main and selected branches (Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao). School service rates depend on the distance from the learner's residence to the campus and are assessed individually after a motorpool ocular visit.
- Assessment / testing: Placement/assessment tests are free for Preschool to Grade 10 and are used for profiling; any assessment-related administrative costs for foreign-student immigration are listed (SSP fee noted above).
Discounts, promos and subsidies
- The school publishes various discounts and promotional categories, including residency discounts, sibling discounts, privilege discounts (PWD learners, Indigenous Peoples, Solo Parents, uniformed personnel), legacy discounts (alumni, Star Achiever), Senior High School voucher discounts, and certain government/PEAC subsidies where applicable. Promotional offers and eligibility conditions are applied at time of assessment.
Refunds and withdrawal / cancellation terms
- There is no separate, detailed public refund policy or a published numeric refund schedule within the admissions information. Refund and cancellation terms (if any) are not listed in a public fee table and would be specified in the School Fees Assessment, registration documents, or the school's administrative policies provided at enrolment.
Summary of what is provided and what is not published
- The school issues individualized School Fees Assessments that list the exact tuition, term breakdown (where applicable), and any one-time or recurring charges for each enrollee. The admissions information confirms the confirmation payment amounts (PHP 7,000 or PHP 5,000 by campus groups), the SSP processing fee for foreign learners (PHP 8,000), available payment frequencies, payment channels (online link, branch cashier, bank deposit to EastWest, BPI, BDO, or UnionBank), uniform requirements, and that school bus service rates vary by distance. The admissions information does not provide a public, grade-by-grade per-term numeric tuition table; exact per-term and per-year numeric tuition figures are supplied in the individualized School Fees Assessment issued by the school.
