Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees

- Application / entrance assessment fee: TWD 1,000 (one-time fee charged for participation in the WIST English placement/entrance assessment).

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

- No published annual or per-term tuition schedule for Washington International School in Taichung (WIST) was found on the school's public admissions, application, or school policy pages. The school's publicly posted admission materials reference the application/assessment fee and the placement process but do not publish a detailed tuition table by grade or term.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's admission pages state that a deposit and payment of certain fees are required to accept an offer of placement, but a detailed billing schedule (dates, instalment options, penalties for late payment) is not published in the publicly available admission or policy pages. Specific payment deadlines and terms are handled as part of the enrolment/contract process after placement is offered.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- There is no publicly available information indicating that WIST offers boarding, and no boarding fees or boarding arrangements are published on the school's admissions or policy pages. No boarding fee schedule was found.

Other costs and fees

- Admission-related costs that are explicitly published include the entrance/assessment fee (TWD 1,000). Other typical school charges such as uniforms, textbooks, activity/excursion fees, examination fees, instrument rental, transport or school lunch charges are not published in the school's publicly available admissions or policy pages. Any such ancillary fees are therefore not publicly listed on the school pages consulted.

Refund information

- No publicly posted refund policy or specific rules for refunds of deposits, fees, or tuition was found on the school's admission or policy pages. Refund terms are not published in the public admission material reviewed.

Fee payment options

- The school's publicly available admission pages describe the admissions steps and note that a deposit and fees are required to accept placement, but they do not publish the accepted methods of payment (for example, credit card, bank transfer, cheque) on those pages. Payment methods are not listed in the publicly available admissions or policy pages consulted.

Search summary (what was found and what was not published)

- Found and published: the entrance/assessment fee amount for participation in the English placement test is TWD 1,000. The admissions process requires submission of an application, a placement test, and payment of a deposit/fees when accepting an offer.

- Not found / not published in the school's public admissions, application, or policy pages: a full tuition schedule by grade (per term or per year), boarding fees, a detailed billing schedule and payment deadlines, itemised ancillary fees (uniforms, transport, meals), refund policy details, and the school's accepted payment methods.

If you need these specific tuition numbers, billing dates, refund terms, or payment-method details for the current academic year, those items are not listed on the school pages reviewed and must be obtained directly from the school's admissions/finance office to ensure accuracy.
