Application / Registration fees
- A registration / admission charge (described as a registration or admission and caution fee) is required at the point of registration and must be paid to secure a place.
- The registration/admission deposit is described as non‑refundable.
Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)
- A detailed published fee schedule showing numeric tuition amounts per year group and per term for the Kigali campus is not available on the school's public pages. No per‑term or per‑year tuition figures for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year were found on the campus pages searched.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition and other fees are payable at the beginning of each term or on the child's entry to the school. Non‑payment of fees can result in exclusion of the student.
- Fees are published and collected in either US Dollars (USD) or Rwandan Francs (RWF); the school accounts office publishes the exchange rate to be used.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school presents itself as a day school with published school hours and a lunchtime provision; there is no published information indicating a boarding programme or boarding fees for the Kigali campus. Therefore no boarding fees are applicable based on the publicly available information.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- Uniforms are provided but sold at a cost shown on the school's fee schedule (the specific uniform prices were not published on the public pages examined).
- The school provides lunch only; parents supply morning snacks. Additional charges that are commonly itemised by schools — for example exam entry fees, textbooks, specific subject resources, field trips, transport and insurance — are referenced in general terms on school materials but numeric amounts for these items were not published on the campus pages reviewed.
Refund information
- The admission/registration deposit is described as non‑refundable. Beyond that, no detailed public refund policy (for tuition or other fees) with numeric refund rules or schedules was available on the campus pages examined.
Fee payment options (methods)
- Fees are accepted in USD or RWF; specific payment channels (for example, bank transfer details, credit/debit card acceptance, mobile money, or in‑person cash payments) are not published on the public pages reviewed. Parents should use the school's published accounts office rate for currency conversion when paying in RWF.
Insufficiency summary (brief)
- The school's public pages confirm the presence of a registration/admission fee, termly billing practice, accepted currencies, provision of uniforms at cost, and that lunch is provided, but they do not publish a numeric, itemised fee schedule for the Kigali campus showing tuition per year group and per term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) on the pages examined. Because those numeric per‑term/per‑year amounts are not publicly posted on the campus pages searched, per‑term and per‑year tuition numbers cannot be provided here.
