Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fee

- An application fee of PHP 2,500 is payable at the time the completed application documents are submitted.

Tuition fees (by year group)

Note: The school's published annual tuition structure is shown as a two-part amount (a USD component plus a PHP component). The published annual totals and a per-term estimate (see Billing schedule and note on calculation below) are given here.

- Pre-Kinder
- Annual: USD 850 plus PHP 344,500.
- Estimated per term (annual divided by three terms): USD 283.33 plus PHP 114,833.33. (Per-term figure shown as an arithmetic division of the annual amount; see note below.)

- Kinder to Grade 5
- Annual: USD 1,800 plus PHP 760,000.
- Estimated per term: USD 600.00 plus PHP 253,333.33. (Calculated by dividing the annual amount by three terms.)

- Grades 6 to 8
- Annual: USD 2,000 plus PHP 807,000.
- Estimated per term: USD 666.67 plus PHP 269,000.00. (Calculated by dividing the annual amount by three terms.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school year is organised in school terms (the calendar references Term 1, Term 3, etc.), and admissions and re-enrolment references use a three-term structure. The per-term amounts above are derived by dividing the published annual tuition by three, consistent with the school's three-term academic references.
- Once a place is offered, a reservation fee is required by the date shown in the letter of offer to secure a place; the school's admissions information also states that returning-student re-enrolment requires payment of a Returning Students Fee by the date advised by the Board of Trustees. (Specific reservation/returning fee amounts are not published in the accessible admissions text.)

Boarding fees

- The Beacon School operates as a day school for students from Pre-K to Grade 8; no boarding programme or boarding fees are listed for the Makati campus.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- School-branded clothing and merchandise (examples and prices):
- One Beacon Shirt — Adult PHP 800; Child PHP 650.
- Barracudas Shirt — PHP 600.
- Ball cap — PHP 500.
- Barracudas water tumbler — PHP 900.
- (These are sample shop items and prices available from the school shop.)
- Co‑curricular activities, field trips and program-specific costs are included in descriptions of the school's programmes; such activities and any related fees (for example, curriculum trips or optional activities) are additional to tuition and merchandise costs.

Refund information

- The school's public admissions pages specify the application fee, reservation/returning-student payments and that reservation payment secures a place, but no publicly available page or downloadable policy on fee refunds (for application, reservation, tuition or other deposits) was located in the published admissions or policies material accessible on the school pages. The availability and terms for refunds (if any) are therefore not explicitly published in the materials examined.

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer via Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is provided as an online payment method with both PESO and DOLLAR account numbers listed for the Beacon International School Foundation. The Enrol/Finance contact information and the BPI account details are published as a school payment method.
- The Enrol page provides step-by-step instructions for adding the school as a biller in BPI Online (Manage Recipients → Add recipient → select Biller → BEACON INT'L SCHOOL FOUNDATION; confirm details and submit). The Finance Office contact details are published for payment queries.

Summary of evidence and limits of the available public information

- Application fee and the requirement for a reservation fee (amount given in the offer letter) are published in the school's admissions information.
- Annual tuition amounts by broad year-groups (USD + PHP components) are published in a recent independent parent- guide article that lists the school's published tuition ranges and figures. The per-term numbers above are arithmetic divisions of those annual totals by three because the school's published calendar and admissions pages reference a three-term year; the per-term figures are therefore inferred from the published annual totals and the school's term structure.
- The school's Enrol/Finance information explicitly lists BPI bank account numbers and instructions for online payment, and the school shop lists sample prices for branded shirts and items.
- What was not publicly available in the pages examined: a detailed official tuition and fees schedule in a single downloadable fee schedule that lists every fee line (for example: explicit reservation fee amount, Returning Students Fee amount, term-by-term billing schedule text, formal refund rules) was not located in the accessible admissions and policy pages. For those specific line items and formal refund terms, the Finance Office contact is provided for direct confirmation.

The Beacon School is an independent, non-profit, secular IB World School in Makati that serves students from Pre-K through Grade 8. It follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Pre-K to Grade 5 and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 6 to 8, with the school positioned as the first in the Philippines authorised to deliver both PYP and MYP. The programme is delivered in a Filipino context, anchoring learning in Filipino culture and language while engaging with a global IB framework. The curriculum integrates Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics through transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry, and includes Filipino language development and language electives such as Spanish and Mandarin. A broad co-curricular program runs alongside academics, including after-school activities in the arts, sports, music, coding, and more, with service learning through community projects. The campus is located in the Magallanes area of Makati, central Metro Manila, and the school has grown to support a community of over 300 students.
