- A refundable or non-refundable deposit equal to one month's school fee is required upfront at enrolment (centre policy requires upfront payment of the deposit plus one month's school fees).
Tuition fees (published billing units and programme groupings)
- Brighton Montessori publishes tuition as monthly programme rates rather than an explicit per-term or per-academic-year table by year group. The published monthly rates by programme/age grouping are:

Per-term and per-year group detail
- The school's publicly published fee information is presented as monthly programme rates by age/programme rather than a separate published schedule of fees per academic term or by formal year-group (for example, Nursery 1 / Nursery 2 / K1 / K2). No distinct per-term or per-academic-year table by year group was published where these monthly programme rates are listed. Parents should use the published monthly programme rates above to calculate term or annual amounts as needed.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Upfront at enrolment: deposit (one month's school fee) plus one month's school fees are required.
- Recurring tuition is published as monthly fees; billing is handled on a monthly basis in the published rates.
- All published prices are stated inclusive of GST where noted. Specific promotions and promotional discounts are applied to the published fees under stated promotion terms.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. Brighton Montessori is a preschool/early years centre and does not offer boarding.
Other recurring or one-off costs
- Annual insurance fee: SGD 7.50.
- Uniform: SGD 47.08 per set.
- PE attire: SGD 26.75 per set.
- Starter pack (promotional welcome pack value): SGD 149.33 when provided under specific promotions.
- Promotions may require upfront payment of deposit and one month's fees and contain additional terms (discount months, etc.). Promotional savings and their application are subject to the promotion T&Cs.
Refund and withdrawal provisions (fee-specific points)
- Registration fees and promotional perks are treated as non-refundable under the promotion terms. In the event of withdrawal prior to the child's official enrolment start date under promotion terms, the registration fee may be deducted from the upfront payment (deposit and one month's school fee). Promotional offers are often non-transferable and non-refundable.
Fee payment options and billing channels
- Recurring payments may be arranged using standard school billing channels; Brighton Montessori / Busy Bees Singapore appear on major GIRO biller lists, enabling parents to set up GIRO payment arrangements through local banks.
Notes on how the published fee information is presented
- The centre's standard published fee items are stated as monthly programme rates and specific promotional terms; a separate published per-term or per-academic-year table by formal year group is not publicly presented alongside those monthly programme rates. Where promotions are offered, those promotional T&Cs specify upfront payment requirements and treatment of registration/deposit if a booking is withdrawn.
If you require these figures presented in a different billing unit (for example, converted to a per-term or per-academic-year total), use of the published monthly programme rates above will allow simple calculation (multiply the monthly rate by the number of months in your chosen billing period).
