Fees

Application / Admission fees

- A one‑off admission (application) fee is indicated at LKR 300,000 (this amount is referenced as the value of a 100% admission‑fee waiver in the school's published competition materials).

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

- The school does not publish a complete per‑grade tuition schedule on the public "Admission and Term Fees" page; per‑grade term or annual tuition amounts for the 2026/27 academic year are not listed there.
- The only explicit fee‑value published in the school's public materials is the admission fee figure noted above (LKR 300,000). Term‑fee amounts by grade are not available in those same materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Term fees are billed on a per‑term basis and are expected to be paid during the first month of each term. A refundable deposit is collected on admission alongside the admission fee. Late payment surcharges apply: 5% for late payment and 10% if payment is delayed by more than one month. These billing terms (payment in the first month of each term, refundable deposit, and late‑payment surcharges) are stated in school fee guidance available through school listings.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not identified as a service for the Maharagama branch; no boarding fee schedule is published for Maharagama and the branch information lists the campus as a day school.

Other costs and recurring charges

- A refundable deposit is required at admission.
- Parents should expect additional typical school costs such as uniforms, textbooks, examination fees, extracurricular activity fees and other incidental charges; specific amounts for uniforms, supplies or activity fees are not published in the school's publicly listed fee material.

Refund information

- The admission (application) fee is treated as non‑refundable. A refundable deposit is collected separately; the deposit is identified as refundable in published school listings.

Fee payment options

- The school's publicly available admissions and term‑fees pages do not list accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, etc.). No specific payment channels are published for the Maharagama branch in the materials reviewed.

Discounts, waivers and scholarships

- The school runs competitions and scholarship schemes that can apply a 100% waiver of the admission fee and percentage waivers of first‑year term fees (examples include a 25% waiver of term fees for certain competition winners); these schemes demonstrate the admission fee figure used for scholarship valuation.

Summary of current availability and important notes for parents

- The only explicit numeric fee published in the school's public materials is the admission fee referenced at LKR 300,000. For the Maharagama branch, full per‑grade term or annual tuition schedules for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year are not published on the school's admission/term‑fees page; billing rules (term payment timing, refundable deposit, and late payment surcharges) are documented in external school listing summaries. Parents should note the admission fee is presented as non‑refundable and that a refundable deposit is collected.

Brief note on findings and gaps (summary of search results):

- I reviewed the school's branch page for Maharagama and the school's Admission and Term Fees page; a full, itemised schedule showing per‑grade term or annual tuitions was not publicly posted there. The school's public articles and announcements include the admission‑fee valuation (LKR 300,000) and examples of scholarship/waiver percentages, and third‑party school listing material sets out standard billing rules such as payment timing, deposit and late‑payment surcharges. Where exact per‑grade term or annual tuition numbers, published payment method options, or a formal boarding fee schedule were needed, those specific figures were not available in the materials found.
