Fee Breakdown

Fees

Annual tuition
- Annual tuition: USD 52,000.

Founding family discount
- Founding Family Discount: 10% off tuition for families who enroll in the school's first two years; this discount applies throughout the child's enrollment and to siblings who enroll later.

Application and enrollment charges
- Application fee (one-time, at time of application): USD 100. A means-based waiver is available on request.
- One-time enrollment (registration) fee due at enrollment: USD 2,000 (this fee is waived for Founding Families).
- Tuition deposit due on confirmation of enrollment: USD 4,000; this deposit is credited toward tuition. Families are expected to sign the enrollment contract and submit the deposit within the school's stated confirmation window.

Tuition by year group and per-term detail
- Published tuition is shown as a single annual amount (USD 52,000) for the school year; the school is opening in Fall 2026 and initial intake is PK3, PK4, Kindergarten and Grade 1. There are no separate published tuition rates by year group available in the school's publicly posted materials.
- The school's academic calendar lists the 2026–2027 key dates and term breaks; no per-term tuition schedule or fixed number of billing installments is published. As a result, no official per-term tuition amounts (for example, per semester or per term) are available in the public materials.

After‑school / extended day fees
- After‑School Program: USD 3,500 per year. This program includes a 7:30 am drop-off option and runs until 6:00 pm.

Boarding
- Boarding fees: Not applicable. Hiba Academy Bay Area operates as a day school (published school hours and an after‑school program are provided; no boarding program or boarding fees are published).

Other recurring or likely additional costs
- Uniform: Students are required to wear a uniform; no uniform price list or mandatory uniform fee is published.
- Lunch: Most children bring packed lunches; an outside lunch option will be available (no published price).
- Incidental, optional and program fees (examples that are not listed with amounts in public materials): field trips, specialty classes, extra-curricular clubs beyond the included After‑School Program, supplies, and any optional vendor-provided services. No fixed public pricing for these items is published.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The publicly posted information specifies a USD 4,000 tuition deposit due at enrollment and that families confirm enrollment by signing a contract and submitting the deposit (families are given a short confirmation window once an offer is made). The school does not publish a detailed billing schedule (for example, number of installments per year, exact due dates for term payments, late-payment penalties, or finance charges) in the publicly posted tuition and admissions materials.

Refund information
- The published materials indicate the tuition deposit is credited toward tuition. No complete refund policy, pro‑rata tuition refund schedule, or explicit statements about which fees (application fee, enrollment fee, deposit) are refundable or non-refundable under specific withdrawal or dismissal scenarios are published in the publicly available tuition and admissions pages.

Fee payment options
- The publicly available materials do not list accepted payment methods (for example, credit card, ACH/bank transfer, check, or wire). No published details about transaction fees, online payment portals, or payment plan providers appear in the posted tuition and admissions pages.

Summary of what is published and what is not published
- Published and specific: Annual tuition amount (USD 52,000), founding-family discount (10%), USD 4,000 tuition deposit (credited to tuition), USD 2,000 one‑time enrollment fee (waived for Founding Families), USD 100 application fee (with possible means-based waiver), and After‑School Program fee (USD 3,500).
- Not published in the publicly available materials: separate tuition rates by year group, official per-term tuition or per-term billing amounts, a full billing schedule and payment timetable, a detailed refund/cancellation policy for deposit or tuition, uniform pricing, and the accepted payment methods and payment‑plan options. These items are not provided in the school's publicly posted tuition, admissions, FAQ, or terms pages.

Practical notes for recording these fees in an external database
- Record the annual tuition as USD 52,000 and list the additional mandatory/one‑time charges separately: Application Fee USD 100, Enrollment Fee USD 2,000, Tuition Deposit USD 4,000 (credited to tuition), and After‑School Program USD 3,500. Indicate the Founding Family Discount (10%) as an available ongoing discount for eligible families.

Hiba Academy Bay Area is a private international independent school opening Fall 2026 in San Francisco. As the newest member of the Wellington College Education network, it draws on a 160-year UK heritage and a global footprint that includes schools in the UK, China, Thailand, India, and beyond. The school delivers a bilingual English–Chinese curriculum from Early Years through Primary Years, with Chinese used as an instruction language in the Primary Years and English and Chinese used across learning experiences. The IB Primary Years Programme framework emphasizes inquiry, creativity, collaboration, and empathy. In Early Years, learning is immersive and hands-on, developing mathematics, literacy, language, and the arts in both languages. Academic Enrichment includes STEM, coding, language, and math explorations, while arts, calligraphy, and cultural traditions reinforce creative expression. A range of after-school activities supports wellbeing, sport, and social belonging. The campus will offer modern facilities designed for bilingual learning experiences.
