The Essentials
Fees
Application / Admission fee
- A one-time Admission/Registration fee is charged on enrolment (applies at first joining). Amount: not published in the publicly retrievable documents for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) session.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per academic year)
- The school maintains a class‑by‑class tuition fee schedule covering Playgroup through A‑Levels. The fee schedule lists tuition charges by year group and by term/session, but the numeric per‑term and per‑year amounts for each year group were not retrievable from the publicly available fee documents during this review. Amounts: not published here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Due date: Fees are payable by the 15th day of the current month. If the 15th falls on a scheduled holiday, fees must be paid before that date.
- Collection frequency: Fees are collected bi-monthly in practice (the fees of two months together are to be paid in every alternate month).
- Advance tuition: Parents are requested to pay advance tuition fees by the 15th of each month.
- Late payment penalties: If monthly fees are paid after the 15th of the current month, a late payment fine of BDT 500 plus VAT will be added. If fees are paid in the next calendar month, a late payment fine of BDT 1,000 plus VAT will be added.
- Online gateway costs: Any extra charges incurred when paying through an online payment gateway are payable by the payer (parent/student).

Boarding / hostel fees

Other costs and recurring / one-off fees
- Typical additional fee heads that apply in practice: Caution Money (security deposit), Year Book, Student ID card, Transport (bus) charges, Examination / exam registration fees, Registration/Admission-related one-off charges, stationary and book lists, uniform costs, and miscellaneous fees. Specific numeric values for these ancillary items were not retrievable in the publicly accessible fee documents during this review.

Refund / adjustment information
- Payments are not refundable. Payments may be adjusted against other payments owed to the school (i.e., non-refundable but adjustable).

Fee payment options (accepted channels and bank details as published)
- Mobile / e‑wallets and gateway options: OK Wallet, bKash, Nagad, Rocket (Nexus), and Visa/MasterCard through the school's online payment interface.
- Bank transfers: Transfers are accepted to the school's bank accounts (examples published for campus payments include Bank Asia account details for the Lalmatia branch). Parents must use the student ID as the payment reference so the payment posts correctly. Note that online gateway fees are passed to the payer.

Data availability note (concise)
- The school publishes a detailed School Fees document that sets out numeric tuition and one‑time charges by class and session; however, the detailed numeric fee tables for per‑term and per‑year tuition by year group and the specific one‑time admission amounts for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) session were not retrievable during this review. As a result, exact BDT amounts for application fees, tuition per term by year group, uniform, transport and other ancillary fees are not included above.
