Application / Registration Fees

- A non‑refundable application / registration charge is required to secure a place. Independent listings place a typical one‑time admission/registration charge in the range of LKR 50,000 to LKR 200,000 for international‑style schools in Colombo; Gateway College is listed by independent school directories as charging a one‑time admission/registration amount within this general band.

Tuition fees (by year group) — per term and typical annualisation

- Gateway College does not publish a public line‑by‑line fee table on its main public pages. Independent school fee guides and market summaries therefore list estimated per‑term ranges for Gateway and comparable Colombo international schools. These independent estimates show:
- Early years / Foundation stages (Nursery / Reception): commonly in the lower end of international school bands and typically less than secondary year levels (estimates vary).
- Primary (Years 1–6): estimated per‑term ranges in the broader market commonly fall around LKR 120,000–450,000 per term, depending on campus and services.
- Lower secondary / middle school (Years 7–9): estimated per‑term ranges typically sit above primary and are often quoted in the mid‑range of Colombo international school term fees (examples in the market indicated per‑term figures between LKR 250,000 and LKR 500,000).
- Upper secondary / IGCSE / A‑Level / SACE (Years 10–13): estimated per‑term ranges for senior secondary often appear at the top of the school's per‑term band; independent sources indicate upper secondary term fees that can exceed LKR 400,000–600,000 per term at premium Colombo schools.

- The independent market summaries above convert to typical annual tuition figures by multiplying term amounts by three (three terms per academic year is the standard billing rhythm used across international schools in Sri Lanka). These are market estimates rather than an official published Gateway College fee schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The prevailing billing model for international schools in Colombo (including Gateway‑type schools) is term‑based billing across three terms per academic year; tuition is invoiced on a per‑term basis and is normally payable in advance of the term start. Many school fee guides and fee regulation documents for comparable schools state payment terms such as payment due within 15 days of invoice or prior to term commencement. Expect the school to follow a similar termly invoicing schedule.

Boarding / residential fees

- Gateway College is advertised and listed as a day school with standard daily hours; there is no public indication of an on‑site boarding/hostel programme for the Colombo campus. Therefore no regular boarding / residential fee line item applies for Gateway College Colombo.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Expect additional compulsory and optional charges beyond tuition: common items include uniforms, textbooks and workbooks, examination/registration fees for external exam boards (IGCSE/A‑Level or SACE), activity/co‑curricular fees, ICT/device charges, and transport (school bus) fees. Market summaries for Colombo international schools commonly list these as recurring annual or per‑term charges and identify uniforms, transport and textbooks as the most frequent additional costs. Typical additional cost examples from market guides: uniforms and starter packs, transport LKR amounts that depend on route, and exam fees charged by external awarding bodies.

Refunds and deposits

- The common practice among international schools in Colombo is that the admission/registration fee and seat reservation payments are non‑refundable. Seat reservation payments are frequently deducted from the first term's fee when a family accepts the offered place. Refund and withdrawal procedures are normally governed by the school's admissions / fee policy; independent fee regulation examples for comparable schools show non‑refundable registration/entrance fees and specific terms for partial refunds only in narrowly defined circumstances. No public, itemised Gateway College refund policy / schedule was located on the school's public pages.

Fee payment options

- Market sources and directory listings for Colombo international schools indicate standard payment methods in the sector: bank transfer (telegraphic/bank deposit), online payment gateways (card payments), and in some cases cheque or in‑person payment at the school's accounts office. Some schools in Colombo also use third‑party payment facilitation platforms. Expect Gateway College to accept bank transfers and card payments via the school's payment channel or the group payment platform used by the Gateway network.

Brief summary of availability of official fee details

- An itemised, up‑to‑the‑penny Gateway College Colombo fee schedule (per year group, with per‑term and annual lines) is not published in a clearly labelled public fee page on the school's main public site. Independent school directories and Colombo fee guides provide the market estimates and the practical details above; where precise, official line‑by‑line amounts are required for a database, the school's admissions/accounts office should be contacted to obtain the formal, campus‑specific fee schedule and the current academic‑year invoice format.
