Fees

Application / Registration fees
- The school charges an application/registration fee for new enrolments; the exact amount is not published in the publicly available materials. Families are required to complete the school's registration process to obtain the registration fee amount and next steps.

Entrance assessments
- New applicants for Middle and High School must take an entrance/level test as part of admission. Any assessment or placement test requirement is part of the admissions process.

Tuition fees (summary)
- The school's publicly available materials do not publish a year-by-year or per-term fee table for the 2026/27 academic year. An approximate range of annual tuition reported by independent school directories is GBP 12,000 to GBP 18,000 (this is a published approximate annual range, not a school-issued per-year fee schedule). Full, itemised tuition-by-year and per-term figures are not posted in the public pages reviewed.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment of all school fees or a non-refundable deposit of 20% of the school fee must be received before a Certificate of Enrolment can be issued for international students. All fees due must be paid in full prior to the commencement of the academic year.
- A bank transfer may take up to one week to reach the school's account; Certificates of Enrolment are issued only after funds or a deposit have cleared.
- The school states that a student's registration and enrolment is a binding agreement to follow the academic year to completion and to pay the full fees.

Boarding fees
- No boarding programme or boarding fee schedule is published in the school's public materials for the Tarabya/Yeniköy campuses; therefore boarding fees are not applicable as a published line item in the material reviewed.

Other costs and additional charges
- School fees do not include travel expenses, social events where fees are charged, or personal and health insurance; these are additional costs for families. Uniforms, textbooks and personal materials are commonly charged separately and are not included in the tuition line items.
- The school publishes extra-programme charges where applicable (for example, summer or short courses are charged separately). Specific extra-programme fees vary by programme and are shown on programme pages when those programmes are advertised.

Discounts and bursaries
- Partial and full academic, artistic, sporting and social bursaries are available according to published bursary criteria; bursaries are cumulative where applicable. A sibling discount is published at 5% for eligible siblings. Exact discount application and award conditions are set by the school's bursary and admissions process.

Refund information
- No refund can be made once the academic course has commenced; fees are non-refundable after the school year has started and the student is withdrawn. The school does not permit transfer of funds from one student to another.
- Cancellations made two weeks before the academic year start date result in loss of deposit; the remaining balance will be refunded. Refunds may take up to 90 days to process once notice of cancellation has been given.
- Cancellations due to visa refusal will result in loss of deposit; refund of tuition fees for visa refusal is processed only after the school verifies the refusal with original embassy/consulate documentation. Students dismissed for poor attendance or misconduct are not entitled to a refund.

Fee payment options
- The school accepts bank transfers and notes that transfers may take up to one week to clear; certificates and enrolment confirmation are issued only after funds have cleared. Public materials do not list a published credit-card acceptance policy or other specific electronic payment methods. For payment methods beyond bank transfer, families should use the school's admissions contact channels.

Concise summary of publicly available fee information and limitations
- The publicly available pages and admissions materials provide clear policies on deposits (20% deposit option for international students), payment timing (fees due in full before the academic year begins), refunds and cancellation rules, and bursary/discount criteria (including a 5% sibling discount). However, the school does not publish a detailed, itemised tuition schedule showing per-year and per-term amounts for the 2026/27 academic year in the materials reviewed; an external directory lists an approximate annual range of GBP 12,000–18,000 as a guide. Exact per-year / per-term tuition figures, application fee amounts, and explicit card-payment options were not published in the public materials reviewed.
