Fee Breakdown

Fees

Overview
- Dili International School (DIS) does not publish a public, itemised fee schedule for general access. The school operates a differentiated fee schedule and asks families to request up-to-date fee information directly.

Application fees
- No fixed, publicly listed application fee amount is available. Application or enrolment charges (if applied) are not published for general viewing. Families are advised that any one-off application or registration charges are determined at the time of application.

Tuition fees (by year group and billing format)
- Official per-year and per-term tuition figures for the 2026/27 academic year are not publicly posted. The school uses a differentiated fee schedule rather than a single published chart.
- Publicly available third-party guidance (independent local/expat guides compiled February 2026) lists approximate figures that have been cited by expatriate resources: Preschool (early years) approximately USD 6,000 per year; school-age students (Year/Grade 1 and above) approximately USD 22,600 per year, plus a one-off capital or development fee of about USD 1,600. These figures are third‑party estimates and are not a formal fee schedule issued by the school.
- No reliable, published breakdown into term-level instalments for DIS (per-term amounts by year group) was found in public materials; therefore per‑term figures cannot be stated with certainty. The school's policy documents and admissions notices indicate fee arrangements are communicated to families on offer and invoicing.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- A formal, public billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, payment due dates, or late‑payment penalties) is not posted for general access. Fee-setting and billing operate under the school's fee policy and are provided to families following application/enrolment.

Boarding fees
- DIS is a day school; boarding accommodation is not offered. Therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and recurring extras
- The school maintains a student dress code and sports uniform requirement; families should expect uniform costs, but no published uniform price list is available. Additional typical school costs likely to appear on invoices include canteen/meal charges, bus/transport services, excursions and co‑curricular activity fees, and textbooks or learning resources; specific amounts are not publicly listed.

Refund / withdrawal information
- No publicly available, itemised refund or partial‑term refund schedule was found. The school's fee policy and terms (which reference differentiated fee arrangements) govern refunds and withdrawals; those detailed terms are provided to families via the school's enrolment and policy documentation rather than as a public fee table.

Fee payment options
- The school's public pages do not include a published list of accepted payment methods (for example specific bank transfer instructions, credit card acceptance, online payment gateway, or cash). Enrolment and invoicing processes handle payment details directly with families.

Summary of findings and limitations
- Official, itemised fee schedules for 2026/27 were not publicly posted for general access. DIS's published materials state that the school operates a differentiated fee schedule and direct fee enquiries are handled through the admissions/enrolment process. Evidence of this appears in the school admissions/policies pages and in the school's policy references; the school's full fee policy and related documents are held in documents accessible to enrolled families or via the school's enrolment portal and are not openly displayed as a public fee table.
- Independent local/expat guidance (February 2026) provides approximate annual figures used by families budgeting for life in Dili: Preschool about USD 6,000 per year; school‑age tuition roughly USD 22,600 per year plus an approximate USD 1,600 capital/development fee. These are third‑party estimates only and should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
