Introduction

Wycherley International School, situated in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo, operates from a 1972 heritage building that originally housed Dr. R.L. Spittel’s nursing home. Founded in 1985, it is a co-educational day school delivering the Cambridge Pathway from Early Years through to A-Levels. Instruction is entirely in English, with Sinhala, Tamil, French, and German taught as language subjects. The school is known for its strong Model United Nations (WISMUN) tradition, which trains delegates in international diplomacy, and distinctive groups like the Aviation Club, which coordinates field visits to local airports. Students have access to science laboratories, computer centers, and dedicated art spaces. The senior section is housed separately on Queen's Road to give older students their own learning environment. With a student body of around 1,100, Wycherley maintains parallel class sections to ensure focused learning and consistent examination success.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing / payment schedule: term fees are invoiced in advance and the published payable months listed for term billing include August, January and April. Fees must be paid in full before the start of each term.
- Late payment: invoices published for admissions and term charges are subject to a late‑payment surcharge (example invoices show a 10% surcharge applied for late payment).
- Deposit / advance: the school issues invoices that commonly require payment of the first term (or semester) and a term fee advance on acceptance of a place. Example proforma invoices show the 1st semester fee plus a term fee advance as separate line items.

Boarding fees

- Wycherley lists facilities such as laboratories, libraries, sports courts and a swimming pool for its campuses but does not publish boarding or hostel accommodation as a feeed service; no boarding fee schedule is published.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- Uniform, textbooks, examination fees, transport (bus) and other activity charges are not itemised in the published term‑fee table; parents should budget for separate uniform and book costs and for optional services such as school transport and extra‑curricular activity fees. (Payment portal and example invoices show separate line items may appear on admission invoices for additional charges.)

Refund information and withdrawal notice

- Withdrawal and deposit refund policy (published): a minimum of one terms notice is required for withdrawal to be eligible for a refund of any deposit; if a pupil leaves during the academic year the published schedule notes the deposit refund will not be made. Fees must be paid in full before each term; acceptance deposits/advance payments are applied against final invoices per the schools billing practice.

Fee payment options

- Online card payments (local and international cards) via the schools established payments portal.
- Foreign‑currency payment (foreign card paying in USD) is supported on the payment portal where applicable.
- Direct bank deposit / direct transfer to the schools bank account is accepted; example invoices list the schools account details for direct deposit.
- Cheque payments drawn in favour of the school are accepted per published invoice instructions. Card, cheque and direct deposit options are shown on published invoices.

Brief note on currency and interpretation

- All amounts above are shown in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) and reflect the published term fees and admission charges as presented in the schools fee schedule materials.

Limitations (what I found and what was not available)

- The most recent detailed fee table located and used for the figures above is a published branch fee schedule that provides per‑term amounts and the schools stated withdrawal/refund rules; an explicit consolidated global fee schedule for the full 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic years (for every branch) was not located in the public materials reviewed. Example invoices and the schools admissions pages were used to confirm billing cadence, payment methods and the published withdrawal/refund requirement.
