Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)

- The school's published prospectus and admissions pages do not include a numeric tuition-fee table by year group or term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26). Exact per-term and per-year tuition amounts are not published in the prospectus material available.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- School and transport fees must be paid by the 10th of each month. If fees are not paid by that date, fees for the following month also become due. Summer- and winter-holiday fees must be paid in advance. The school enforces its fee policy strictly.

- Transport billing: parents wishing to discontinue the bus service must notify the school in writing at least two weeks in advance. If bus service is temporarily discontinued (maximum two months), transport fees for that period remain payable; otherwise the student's seat will not be reserved. The school may withdraw bus service for a student where there is no space, the home is outside the route, or dues remain unpaid.

Boarding / hostel fees (if applicable)

- The prospectus describes school shifts (morning for KG and girls; afternoon for boys) and does not describe any boarding or hostel facilities. No boarding or hostel fees are published because boarding is not indicated as a school service in the prospectus.

Uniforms and textbooks are available from the school bookshop. The prospectus indicates the bookshop supplies the full syllabus and uniforms at reasonable prices. Exact prices for uniforms and books are not published.

- Transport (bus) fees are charged; specific route, seat allocation and payment rules are published in the prospectus but specific transport-fee amounts are not published.

Fee payment options (methods and office hours)

Summary note for parents
