Notes on currency and structure of tuition charges

- Tuition amounts are presented as a mix of KRW and a USD component in the school fee schedule; the published fee schedule shows the tuition structure includes both a KRW portion and a USD portion.

Per‑term amounts and billing (how invoicing and term payments are handled)

- The school issues an invoice to families after an offer of placement is accepted; parents are required to respond to an offer within the time given in the offer letter and will receive the invoice after acceptance. Specific invoice issue dates and payment due dates are set out in the school's tuition and fee handbook.
- Where parents choose to pay by term, the commonly used approach is to divide the annual tuition across the school's term structure as invoiced; the school's tuition handbook contains the official payment due dates and accepted payment schedules. (The handbook is the definitive source for the school's term invoice dates and any available discounts or surcharges for annual vs. term payment.)

Boarding fees

- The International School of Busan operates as a day school for ages 3–18 and does not list boarding or residential accommodation fees.

Other costs and optional fees

- School PE uniform and uniform costs: PE uniform costs are included in the school fee information handbook as a separate item.
- Transportation (bus) fees: bus/transportation is charged separately; specific route fees and annual/term amounts are listed in the tuition and fee handbook.
- Cafeteria / lunch charges: cafeteria fees are charged separately and detailed in the handbook.
- Exam, activity, trips, specialist support or learning‑support charges: the handbook lists additional possible charges (for example extracurricular activities, residential trips, specialist support or EAL) that are billed separately.

Refund information

- The school's tuition and school fee handbook includes the school's refund policy and the conditions under which refunds of fees (or parts of fees) are issued; the handbook provides the detailed refund schedule and procedures. Parents should follow the school's published refund procedure in the tuition handbook.

Payment options and instructions

- Payment by bank transfer is accepted; the tuition and fee handbook contains the school's bank details and payment instructions.
- The school's admissions process notes that an invoice will be issued after acceptance and that payment must be made by the dates shown on the invoice. The handbook contains the full list of accepted payment methods and any charges applicable to payment by credit card or other methods.

Practical summary for parents

- Expect a non‑refundable application fee of KRW 300,000 / USD 300 at application.
- Expect one‑time new‑student charges (enrolment, technology development, capital development) in addition to the published annual tuition for the child's grade; example one‑time values appear in the published fee schedule.
- Annual tuition totals by grade are published (full list above). When offered a place you will receive an invoice showing the exact breakdown, due dates and payment options.

(Selected source material used to prepare this overview: International School of Busan admissions pages and the school's published Tuition & School Fee Information Handbook; a fee summary published by an international school fees database was used to extract the grade‑by‑grade annual totals shown above.)
