Annual fee note (estimate) - Tuition is published on a per-term basis. Using the published per-term figures and a standard three-term academic year (tuition is charged per term and the school's calendar references multiple terms), an approximate annual tuition equals the per-term fee multiplied by three; this is an annual estimate rather than a published annual charge. (Tuition per term is the published billing unit.)
Billing schedule & payment terms - Tuition is billed on a termly basis (fees are shown as "tuition per term"). Specific due dates and a detailed instalment schedule are not published with the per-term figures. - The school's payment terms state that tuition and any other payments made will not be refunded in cases of dismissal for misconduct, or if a student fails to turn up or is withdrawn by the parent/guardian.

Other costs and charges - Published tuition figures do not include additional costs such as textbooks, uniforms, extracurricular activities, examination fees, transport, or other incidental charges; these items are billed separately when applicable. - The admissions process references an admission pack and a registration pack; associated itemised charges (for example, registration pack cost, deposits, or refundable/non‑refundable acceptance deposits) are not published in the publicly listed fee summaries.
Refunds and surcharge policy - Tuition and other payments are non-refundable in cases of dismissal for misconduct, or where the student fails to take up studies or is withdrawn by the parent/guardian. Cheques returned unpaid incur a 10% surcharge.
Fee payment options - A detailed list of accepted payment channels (bank transfer, card, mobile money, online portal options) is not published alongside the per-term tuition figures. The school's published materials do reference cheque-handling policy (bounced-cheque surcharge), indicating cheques are an accepted payment method; other specific payment methods and account details are not provided in the fee pages.
Summary of what is published and what is not published - Published: per-term starting tuition for each campus and category (national vs international where applicable); statement that additional costs (textbooks, uniforms, extracurriculars) are not included; non-refund and bounced-cheque surcharge conditions. - Not published (no specific amounts or schedules publicly listed): application/registration fee amounts, an itemised fee schedule by individual year group (class-by-class term fees), boarding fee amounts, a detailed billing calendar with payment due dates, and a published list of accepted payment channels and bank account details.
