Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application and assessment fees

- International Aptitude Diagnostic (IAD) assessment fee: TWD 2,000.
- Upon offer of admission, families are issued an invoice for an administrative/registration (administrative processing) fee; the invoice and payment instructions are issued to the primary parent contact as part of the admission confirmation process.

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

- The school publishes a full tuition and fees schedule for each academic year in its Admission Prospectus for the upcoming school year (SY2026–2027). The Prospectus is linked from the Admissions materials and is the document that contains the detailed per-grade and per-semester (per-term) tuition figures.
- Specific numeric tuition amounts by grade and by semester/annual total are not available on the publicly accessible admissions summary pages. The detailed per-term and per-year figures required for a complete grade-by-grade breakdown are contained in the prospectus document referenced above.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- After an offer is made, a tuition payment slip (billing statement) with a specified due date is issued to admitted families; payment of the invoice is required to confirm enrollment. Administrative/registration billing and associated instructions are sent to the primary parent contact at the time of admission decision.
- The admissions materials indicate the school operates on a semester/academic-year enrolment model (semester timing and related billing cycles are set in the annual prospectus and admissions communications).

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No boarding program or boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's publicly posted program or admissions summaries. The school presents as a day international secondary program for Grades 7–12. No boarding fees are published on the accessible admissions and About pages.

Other costs and charges

- The admissions summaries and public pages reference the IAD assessment and administrative/registration charges described above; other typical ancillary charges (uniforms, textbooks, learning materials, school lunch, transportation, extracurricular program fees, standardized exam fees) are not itemized on the public admissions summary pages. The full prospectus lists any mandatory and optional additional fees.

Refund information

- A formal refund policy (for example, rules governing refunds of annual/semester tuition, registration fees, or meal fees) is not published on the admissions summary pages. The complete refund terms and withdrawal/refund schedule are provided in the school's full admissions prospectus and invoice documentation issued on admission.

Fee payment options

- Public admissions materials do not list the detailed accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, online credit-card payment, in-person payment methods). Payment instructions and permitted payment methods are included with the registration/administrative invoice issued to admitted families.
