Fees
Application / registration fees

- A one‑time admission/registration fee is charged at enrolment. Promotional waivers (for example a 50% admission‑fee waiver offered for Grades 6–8 during a past anniversary promotion) have been used at times.
- The school does not publish a fixed, branch‑level public table of admission/registration amounts for Lyceum Ratnapura; the exact registration/admission charge depends on the branch, year group and current promotions. For branch‑specific registration amounts, the school's admissions/accounts team issues the precise figure.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)

- Lyceum Ratnapura does not publish a public, branch‑specific fee table showing per‑grade tuition amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (or the 2025/26 year) that can be stated here as fixed numbers. Tuition at Lyceum is normally billed on a termly basis and varies by grade. Example receipts from Lyceum branches show term invoices that may include several line items (tuition instalments and subject / lab charges).
- Typical fee components you should expect to see itemised by year group and term (when the school issues the invoice) include: tuition (term), subject/lab fees (science/computer labs), assessment or placement fees, external exam fees (international O/L and A/L where applicable), text books and work books (often billed separately), transport (bus) charges, and optional co‑curricular/activity charges. Exact LKR amounts per term or per year group are determined and communicated by the branch accounts office at the time of offer/enrolment.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The standard billing cadence is termly; invoices and due dates are issued by the branch Accounts Receivable office. The school operates an admissions/accounts process for fee issuance and collections rather than publishing a universal public calendar of due dates. Parents are expected to follow the invoice due dates issued by their branch.
- Instalment plans or staged payment options may be available for certain programmes or by arrangement with Accounts Receivable (the Lyceum group offers instalment plans in some of its programmes). Any instalment plan, late‑payment penalties, and the precise due dates are set by the branch and appear on the invoice or fee agreement.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Lyceum International School — Ratnapura operates as a day school; no boarding accommodation or boarding fee schedule is listed for the Ratnapura branch. Boarding is not applicable for Lyceum Ratnapura.

Other costs and recurring/one‑off charges

- Uniforms: uniform purchase is required; the branch lists a uniform store as an on‑site facility and uniform purchase is a separate cost. Expect a one‑off initial uniform purchase and occasional replacement purchases by size/year.
- Text books and work books: text books and work books are routinely charged separately or included in optional coverage plans; plan for an annual cost for books and workbooks per student.
- Examination fees: international O/L and A/L examination entries (where applicable) are charged in addition to tuition and may be offered as part of optional coverage.
- Laboratory / subject fees: science lab or practical subject fees may be added depending on subjects chosen (these appear as separate line items on branch receipts).
- Transport (school bus): bus fees are billed separately when service is used.
- Co‑curricular, workshops and occasional activity/trip charges: charges for optional workshops, camps, external trips or special programmes are billed in addition to tuition. Example workshop fees have been published for one‑off activities.

Refund information

- There is no publicly posted, branch‑wide refund table or standard refund schedule for tuition and admission fees available on the school's public materials; refund and withdrawal handling is implemented under the branch's contractual/accounting rules and the school's terms. Where refunds or partial‑term adjustments apply they are handled by the branch Accounts/Admissions office according to the enrolment agreement.

Fee payment options

- The school central admissions and FAQ pages direct parents to the branch Accounts Receivable office for invoicing and payment arrangements; exact accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit/debit card, cash or online portal) and any card/processing fees are set and communicated by the branch at the time of billing. Instalment arrangements are offered in some programmes and by branch agreement.

Summary (what a parent should expect when arranging fees for Lyceum Ratnapura)

- Expect a one‑time admission/registration charge at enrolment (promotions/waivers may apply).
- Expect tuition billed termly, with additional separate charges for books, exams, labs, transport and extracurriculars; exact LKR amounts per term and per year group are provided by the Ratnapura branch accounts office and vary by grade and programme.
- Boarding is not applicable to Lyceum Ratnapura.
- No standardized, published public refund schedule or branch fee table was found; refunds and fee‑adjustments are handled under the branch contractual/accounting rules.
