Discounts and sibling policy

- A sibling discount of 20% applies to younger siblings enrolled concurrently.
- A 2% discount on the full annual tuition is available to returning families who pay the entire annual fee by the published early payment date (example: payment by April 16, 2025 for the 2025–2026 schedule).

Billing schedule and payment terms (academic year example published for 2025–2026)

- Returning students: first‑semester fees must be paid by the published first‑semester deadline (example: May 14, 2025) to confirm registration and secure class scheduling; second‑semester fees must be paid by the published second‑semester deadline (example: November 12, 2025). A published early full‑payment deadline (example: April 16, 2025) carries a 2% tuition discount.
- New students: payment of all tuition and fees for the coming semester must be made within two weeks of notification of admission or prior to the first day of classes, whichever occurs first.
- Late fees on overdue payments: 1–30 business days late = 6% fee; 31–60 business days late = 8% fee; more than 60 business days late = 10% fee.
- Late-entry tuition reductions are published by month of entry (example schedule shows % reductions when students arrive after the fall semester start or spring semester start).

Refunds and withdrawal processing fees

- Refunds for early withdrawal are issued after deducting non‑refundable fees; refunds are normally made in Korean won. Refunds for tuition and fees are calculated on a monthly basis after deduction of non‑refundable items.
- Non‑refundable items explicitly listed: Application Fee, Registration Fee, Senior Fee, Capital Fee, Dorm Capital Fee.
- Early withdrawal processing fees (non‑refundable) are specified by grade band: Grades K–5: ₩1,000,000; Grades 6–8: ₩2,000,000; Grades 9–12: ₩3,000,000; Dormitory withdrawal processing fee: ₩1,000,000.
- In the event of a large‑scale extraordinary event (war, civil strife, labor unrest, extreme weather, etc.), the school reserves the right to suspend normal refunding and require full payment for amounts due to ensure financial stability; appeals may be made to the Finance Committee as published in the school policies.

Explanation of capital and relevant fees

- Capital Fee: one‑time contribution toward school infrastructure, furnishings, building maintenance, and learning materials; capital fees are non‑refundable. Relevant fees refer to services not directly included in tuition and may be optional or required depending on family choices (for example, lunch, bus, boarding). Tuition is stated as a combination of a USD and a KRW amount; the total tuition charge is the sum of both currency amounts.

Payment methods (what is stated publicly)

- The school specifies that the application fee must be paid online via bank transfer as part of the application process.
- The published tuition and fees material does not list a comprehensive set of accepted payment channels (credit card, third‑party payment vendors, or specific bank account details) on the same tuition summary page; payment instructions and invoice details are provided with official billing documentation and payment notices. Refunds are normally made in Korean won.

Summary notes (concise)

- Annual tuition is quoted as USD + KRW and is the total charge; sibling discounts apply; boarding carries an additional annual USD + KRW charge and a one‑time dorm capital fee; specific optional fees (lunch, bus, ELL, senior fee) and one‑time capital/registration fees apply; refunds are normally issued in KRW after deduction of non‑refundable items and specified early‑withdrawal processing fees. Key published payment deadlines and late fee penalties apply and are enforced to confirm registration and class placement.
