The Capital Fund may be paid in full or divided across terms; specific due dates and penalty/discount rules are not published on the tuition page. Late‑enrolment fees are specified for both preschool and 5+ age groups.

- Exam / testing: the school is a certified SAT and TOEFL iBT testing center and the SAT registration fee is listed as US $111 (2025). Individual test registration fees apply and are charged separately.
- Late enrollment fees and the Capital Fund are additional to tuition (amounts shown above).
- The published tuition schedule does not itemize separate mandatory charges for uniforms, textbooks, school bus/transport, or boarding; those items are not listed on the public tuition page.

Refund and withdrawal information
- The tuition page does not publish a detailed refund or withdrawal schedule (specific refund percentages, deadlines, or administrative penalties are not listed on the tuition page). Refund or withdrawal terms are therefore not specified in the published tuition summary.

Fee payment options
- The publicly available tuition summary lists the fees and term structure but does not list accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer or credit card) or online payment instructions on the tuition page. Accepted payment methods are not specified in the published fee schedule.

If you require these figures formatted for a database entry, they are provided above as clear per‑term and per‑year amounts for each age group, with the separate application, Capital Fund, and late‑enrolment fees called out.
