Per‑term (three equal terms) guidance
- When fees are divided into three equal term payments (the policy used for mid‑term entry), each term equals one‑third of the annual tuition. Approximately: Reception ~ KRW 6,703,330 / USD 3,902 per term; Junior Y1–Y6 ~ KRW 7,481,203 / USD 4,336 per term; Middle ~ KRW 7,833,470 / USD 4,540 per term; Upper ~ KRW 8,907,190 / USD 5,161 per term; Sixth Form ~ KRW 9,438,670 / USD 5,468 per term. The school's published schedule clarifies that the 50/25/25 instalment allocation is a payment schedule and does not directly equate to the cost of individual academic terms.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Standard instalment due dates for the 50/25/25 schedule are: 20 June (first instalment), 7 November (second instalment), and 13 February (third instalment). Lump‑sum payments are accepted and receive a 2.0% discount. Parents who do not pay after reminders risk their child losing their place. The school requires one term's prior written notice (by completing the Parent Portal Withdrawal Form) to avoid a tuition penalty; otherwise the acceptance deposit may be deducted as a penalty. Late payments may incur simple interest up to 1.5% per month and all costs of collection are recoverable.
Boarding fees (KRW only) — annual and instalment values
- Boarding fees are denominated in KRW only. Board can be paid in full (with 2.0% discount) or in three instalments; meals are charged separately by the canteen operator. If joining boarding before the start of a half‑term break, the full term's boarding fee is payable; if joining after the start of a half‑term break, 50% of that term's boarding fee is charged. Instalment due dates match the tuition due dates. The published annual and instalment figures (KRW) are:
- Junior Weekly (Y3–Y6): Annual KRW 12,470,250 ; discounted annual shown KRW 12,225,720 ; three instalments KRW 4,156,750 each.
- Junior (Y3–Y6) — other boarding option: Annual KRW 14,548,620 ; discounted annual KRW 14,263,360 ; instalments KRW 4,849,540 each.

- Textbook deposit: KRW 400,000 (one‑time, refundable when books are returned in good condition).
- School bus (coach) service: KRW 4,235,000 per year (annual fee; must be paid in full). One‑way trips are charged at 50% of the annual rate for the relevant period; mid‑term starts are pro‑rata or half‑term rules apply.

- Co‑curricular activity (Bryant / CCA) fees: issued per session, three times per year. Music lesson fees: invoiced termly in advance; unpaid lesson applications will be cancelled. Expedition, field trip and other activity costs will be billed as events take place.
- Sibling discount: Reception–Year 2 none; Year 3–Year 13: 6% discount on the boarding fee of each term when two or more children are enrolled.
Refund and withdrawal rules
- Tuition/boarding refunds on withdrawal are tiered by withdrawal date: 100% refund before the start of the academic year; 66.67% refund if withdrawn before the start of term 2; 33.33% refund if withdrawn before the start of term 3. School bus fees: full refund if withdrawal occurs before the start of term (based on application date); non‑refundable after the start of term (based on transfer date). The school requires one term's prior written notice of withdrawal; failure to provide notice may result in the acceptance deposit being forfeited as a penalty.
Payment currencies and payment format
- Tuition is payable in both KRW and USD (the published schedule lists both currency amounts and the fee is split across the two currencies). Payments may be made as a lump‑sum or in instalments according to the published schedules; a 2.0% discount applies to lump‑sum payments. Specific payment channels (for example, bank transfer, credit card or other methods) are not itemised in the published fee schedule; invoices and the school's billing communications will indicate the accepted payment mechanism and instructions.
Late payment and collection costs
- Late payments may incur simple interest charged daily up to 1.5% per month. All costs incurred in the collection of unpaid fees, including administrative costs and agent fees, are recoverable in full. Parents who do not pay after reminders risk their child losing their place.
