Per‑term fees / how fees are presented
- Fees are published and billed as a monthly rate. The centre's stated rate is SGD 650 per month; the provider publishes fees as monthly amounts rather than a fixed per‑term schedule. Therefore per‑term totals will equal the monthly fee multiplied by the number of months in that term (the centre's published materials show monthly billing).
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing frequency: Fees are presented on a monthly basis (monthly rates).
- At offer/confirmation: a registration fee and a deposit are collected to secure a place; for foreign‑national students, the Student's Pass application fee (and the first month's fees) are collected to confirm placement. A 2‑week trial (when used) requires payment of the registration fee plus a pro‑rated 2‑week fee.
- GST: Centre pages indicate published POP monthly rates are stated excluding GST. Subsidy calculations are applied to the pre‑subsidy monthly rate shown.

Refund information
- No comprehensive public refund policy for tuition, deposit or registration fees is published on the centre's public pages for St. Andrew's.

Fee payment options
- The public centre pages do not list a full set of accepted payment methods for recurring tuition. The registration portal used by affiliated centres collects the registration fee via credit/debit card at registration, indicating card payment is accepted for registration transactions; other payment channels for ongoing tuition (bank transfer / GIRO / PayNow / card) are not explicitly listed on the St. Andrew's public page.
Notes on details not published or not available in public materials
- The St. Andrew's centre page publishes a single POP monthly rate (SGD 650/month) and notes that this is before GST and before subsidies; the public pages do not publish a centre‑specific deposit amount, a line‑by‑line per‑term schedule (fees are shown as monthly), a comprehensive refund policy, or a complete list of accepted ongoing payment methods. Where a registration fee amount appears (commonly SGD 80 across affiliated campuses), it is indicated in affiliated registration materials and in open‑house promotions.
- If you require minute itemisation beyond the monthly tuition rate (for example: an explicit deposit amount, formal refund clauses, a published per‑term calendar and per‑term invoice amount, or a full list of payment channels accepted for ongoing tuition), those specific line items are not detailed on the St. Andrew's public centre page and are recorded at the registration/offer stage or in centre administrative materials.
