Fees

Application fees

- No fixed application, registration or entrance-fee amount is published in the school's publicly posted fee materials. Parents should confirm current application/registration charges directly with the school's admissions office.

Tuition fees (termly) and estimated annual totals by section

- Junior School (Playgroup to Year 4): termly fee around LKR 150,000; annual tuition (three terms) approximately LKR 450,000. (figure given for the 2024–2025 academic year).

- Middle School (Years covering roughly ages 10–15 / Form 1–3): termly fee rising to LKR 220,000; annual tuition (three terms) approximately LKR 660,000. (figure given for the 2024–2025 academic year).

- Sixth Form (Lower Sixth to Upper Sixth / A-levels): termly fee LKR 275,000; annual tuition (three terms) approximately LKR 825,000. (figure given for the 2024–2025 academic year).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are billed on a termly basis and must be paid before the commencement of each term. A full termly fee is charged if a student withdraws during a term.

- A 5% incentive/discount applies to the termly fee if payment is made before the due date shown on the invoice; once the due date passes the discount is no longer valid and the full fee is payable.

- The school's management reserves the right to revise fees and fees are subject to change.

Boarding fees

- Stafford International School operates as a day school and does not publish or offer boarding/residential provision; boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and inclusions

- The stated termly fee is described as inclusive of photocopying charges and other extracurricular activities. Additional costs commonly associated with schooling (uniforms, textbooks, specialised equipment, examination entry fees, transport) are not listed as included and are not itemised in the school's public fee notes.

- No published single-line prices for uniforms, textbooks, transport or exam-entry charges were located in the school's publicly posted materials. Independent Sri Lankan school guides note that schools commonly charge separately for uniforms, excursions, exam entries and transport.

Refund, withdrawal and re‑entry charges

- Admission fee and term fee payments are non-refundable.

- Withdrawal notice: 90 days' written notice (normally one full term) is required prior to a student leaving; failure to give this notice will render the following term's fee payable. A full term's fee is charged if withdrawal occurs mid-term.

- Re‑joining charges: if a student re-joins after one year the school will charge 50% of the admission fee; if re-joining after two years or more, 100% of the admission fee will be charged.

Fee payment options

- The school's public materials do not list specific payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit card, cheque) or a detailed payment gateway. Independent Sri Lankan school guides report that some international schools in Colombo use online school-payment platforms such as MyFees.lk to manage payments; this has been reported in third-party school guides and listings. Parents commonly use bank transfer or card payments where the school or payment platform supports them, but specific supported methods should be confirmed with the school.

Brief summary of findings and limits of published information

- The only per-section fee figures published in the school's posted materials are labelled for the 2024–2025 academic year: Junior School ~LKR 150,000 per term; Middle School up to LKR 220,000 per term; Sixth Form LKR 275,000 per term. The school's standard terms-and-conditions document publishes payment timing, a 5% early-payment discount, non-refundable admission/term fees, 90-day withdrawal notice, and re-entry charging rules. Specific, itemised charges (application/registration amounts, uniform prices, exam-entry fees, transport fees, and explicit payment-method instructions) are not published in the school's publicly posted materials that were reviewed.
