The school's contract documents and admission materials refer to term fees and an applicable Fees List, but the school does not publish a public fee schedule with specific LKR amounts by grade, term or academic year on its public pages; therefore exact per‑term and per‑year amounts by year group are not available in the school's public materials.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Fees for each Term are due and payable as cleared funds before or within fourteen (14) days of the commencement of the school Term to which they relate. - If fees remain overdue the school may exclude the pupil after three days' written notice; exclusion for 28 days may be treated as withdrawal and will trigger a charge of one (01) month's fees in lieu of notice.
