Fee Breakdown

Fees
Application / registration fees

- There is no separate "application fee" listed as a stand‑alone charge. Instead, registration requires payment of specific registration items and one‑time funds as applicable: a one‑time building fund for students who do not hold a Republic of China (Taiwan) passport is required at first entry to each school division. The building fund is VND 48,600,000 per child.

Tuition — per semester by division (VND)

- Textbook / materials fees: amounts vary by division. Example — Kindergarten textbook/materials fee: VND 2,760,000

- Group student insurance: charged per term; Kindergarten examples show: new student insurance VND 550,000 and returning student VND 190,000. The Ministry of Education subsidy for ROC‑national students toward the insurance is noted in the school notices.

- Parent association fee: VND 270,000 per family (charged to the lowest‑grade child in the household as the payable item).

- Uniform fee: example shown for kindergarten: VND 1,000,000 for new students. Additional uniform or clothing costs may apply depending on division and items purchased.

- Miscellaneous kindergarten items: example total listed VND 3,500,000.

- School meals / canteen charges: lunch is charged separately and varies by grade and number of days. Examples from published semester menus/amounts: Grade 3–5 semester lunch total shown approximately VND 5,390,000; boarding student meal package for grades 6–12 (semester) shown approximately VND 8,360,000. Meal orders and payments are handled through the school canteen account.

- Transport (school bus): charged separately by the transport operator; parents choose routes and pay the transport company directly. The school indicates transport is optional and billed by route.

Boarding / dormitory fees (if applicable)

- Dormitory fee: charged per semester. Dormitory fees shown: VND 9,000,000 per semester for each semester (4.5 months per semester) for both male and female dorms. Utility usage (electricity/air‑con) is metered separately and shared by occupants at VND 2,000 per kWh according to the dormitory rules. Refund rules for dormitory fees follow the same proportional schedule as tuition (see Refund information).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payment currency: all published fees are denominated in Vietnamese Dong (VND) and the school requires payment in VND.

- How to pay: payments are to be made at the school's designated bank(s) or by bank transfer. Bank details and account names for fee payment are provided in registration instructions; bank transfer fees are to be borne by the payer. Parents must keep the bank receipt and present it for registration verification. Examples of bank accounts shown in registration notices include Mega International Commercial Bank (account 010200011443), Taipei Fubon Bank HCMC Branch (account 2311-00-51506) and Indovina Bank (account 1006969-032). Payments must be made in full to the school account; instructions require the payer to include the payment reference (payment slip number, student name, class).

- Registration / billing deadlines (examples from the published registration notices for the semester): parents are instructed to complete payments by the published registration cut‑off (example: payment/registration required by 13 February 2026 for the semester in the notices). The school publishes an early‑payment reduction policy for tuition: a 10% reduction on the stated semester tuition is applied for families who complete full payment by the early deadline shown (example deadline in the notices: 23 January 2026). Late or partial payments are subject to the school's registration rules (students will not be assigned to classes until required fees are cleared).

Refund information (tuition, meals, boarding)

- General refund principle: most items (textbooks, some ancillary purchases) are non‑refundable; the school's published policy treats tuition and dormitory fees under a proportional refund schedule based on the student's official leaving date during the semester. The school requires formal withdrawal/leave procedures for any refund consideration.

- Tuition refund schedule (published rules summarized):
- Full refund of the full‑term tuition and other fees if the student withdraws before the first day of classes.
- If withdrawal occurs after classes start but within the first third of the semester, two‑thirds of the full‑term tuition is refundable.
- If withdrawal occurs after the first third but before two‑thirds of the semester, one‑third of the full‑term tuition is refundable.
- No tuition refund is made if withdrawal occurs after two‑thirds of the semester.
- Textbook fees, student insurance and parent association fees are handled according to the itemized refund rules (textbook/insurance typically non‑refundable when already provided). Boarding refunds follow an identical proportional schedule. Specific calendar cut‑offs applicable to the published semester are listed in the school notices and apply to the calculation of the above proportions.

Other cost notes and concessions

- Sibling discount: when three or more children from the same family attend the school concurrently, the tuition for the third child and beyond is reduced by 50% for that child (condition: must attend a full semester).

- Ministry subsidy: ROC (Taiwan)‑national students receive specified Ministry of Education subsidies toward tuition and student group insurance under the standard rules cited in the school's notices; eligibility is based on nationality and entry date.

Payment methods accepted (as stated in registration notices)

- Bank deposit at designated bank branches (in‑person at bank).
- Bank transfer (full credit to the school account required; transfer/handling fees are charged to the payer).
- The registration instructions require parents to present/submit the bank receipt (third copy) to complete registration. No explicit credit‑card payment option is listed in the published registration instructions; payments are shown as bank deposit or bank transfer in the registration notices.

Illustrative examples (semester totals where published)

- Kindergarten example — published subtotal / total examples for the semester: subtotal and item totals are shown in the registration sheet; an example value shown as the semester total in the kindergarten registration notice is VND 46,300,000. (Breakdowns feeding that total include tuition, materials, insurance and parent association fee.)

- Primary / Secondary example — published per‑semester tuition figures and itemized fees are listed in the mid/primary registration notice and are shown above under Tuition.

- Boarding example — dormitory fee VND 9,000,000 per semester; dormitory meal package for boarding students for a semester is shown in the meal schedule examples at around VND 8,360,000. Utility usage in dorms (electricity/air‑conditioning) is metered and charged separately at VND 2,000 per kWh.
