It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.

An application fee of 1,250 USD is payable before the application is processed, and a registration fee of 5,500 USD is charged for students from Year 1 to Year 13 (the fee is non-refundable). Registration is not complete until the registration fee is paid.
