Fees
Application fees

- A dedicated form in the school payment system lists "Admission Fee" / "Registration" as a payable payment type, indicating a one‑time admission/registration charge is collected at enrolment. The school's published fee documents contain the exact admission/application amount for each class, but the numeric values for the 2026/27 (and 2025/26) session could not be retrieved from the public fee document during this session.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per academic year)

- The school maintains a class‑by‑class fee schedule listing tuition charges by year group and by term/session. The payment form on the school system includes session selections for 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, confirming that a detailed tuition schedule exists for those sessions. The exact per‑term and per‑year numeric amounts for individual year groups (Playgroup through A‑Levels) were not retrievable from the published fee document during this session and therefore are not included here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Due date: Fees are due by the 15th day of the current month. If the 15th falls on a scheduled holiday, fees must be paid before that date.
- Late payment penalties: If monthly fees are paid after the 15th of the current month, a late payment fine of Tk. 500 plus VAT is applied. If fees are paid in the next calendar month, a late payment fine of Tk. 1,000 plus VAT is applied.
- Collection frequency: The school requires that the school fees of two months be paid together (fees of two months together are to be paid in every alternate month). Advance tuition is requested by the 15th of each month.
- Adjustment and refunds: Payments are not refundable; however, payments are adjustable against other payments owed to the school (i.e., non‑refundable but adjustable). Extra charges incurred through an online payment gateway are borne by the parent/student.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Academia operates multiple urban day campuses and is listed as a day school; the school does not publish boarding/hostel services or boarding charges for its Dhaka campuses. Therefore boarding fees are not applicable for the listed campuses.

Other costs and recurring / one‑off charges

- The school's payment options and payment form explicitly include other fee categories that parents are charged separately, such as: Caution Money, Year Book, ID Card, Transport, Registration, Exam/Registration, and Miscellaneous Fees. Uniform and book list documents are also maintained for parents, which indicates uniform and textbook costs apply as additional charges. Specific numeric amounts for uniform, books, transport, exam registration, and similar ancillary costs were not retrievable from the publicly listed fee document during this session.

Refund information

- Payments are not refundable; payments may be adjusted against other outstanding payments owed to the school. Parents should note that gateway/transaction charges are payable by the payer and are non‑refundable by the school.

Fee payment options and bank details

- Mobile wallets and mobile banking: OK Wallet, bKash (Pay Bill → Educational Institution → ACADEMIA), Nagad (Bill Pay → ACADEMIA / 1037), and Rocket/Nexus (Bill Pay → Other → ACADEMIA / 2728) are accepted; for mobile payments parents must provide the STUDENT ID as the payment reference.
- Card payments: Visa and MasterCard payments are accepted through the school's online payment interface. The school's payment form supports selection of Payment Type, Session, Campus and Student ID when making card payments.
- Bank transfer / deposit: The school accepts bank deposits/transfers to the following accounts (accounts shown as published by the school):
- DBBL A/C # 258.120.0000013 (Mohammadpur Branch).
- UCBL A/C # 0842301000000168 (Dhanmondi Branch).
- Bank Asia A/C # 06236000004 (Lalmatia Branch).
- Campus accounts & support: Accounts offices are available at multiple campus locations (listed with local contact numbers) to assist with payments or enquiries; online payments require entering the Student ID so the payment is correctly posted.

Practical notes for parents (administrative practice)

- When making any online/mobile payment always supply the student's Student ID and check that the student name, campus and class match before confirming the transaction. Online gateway fees are passed to the payer. Bi‑monthly collection arrangements (two months' fees together) mean parents should plan around alternating two‑month payments and the 15th due date.

Brief summary of data availability (important)

- The school publishes a detailed School Fees document that sets out exact numeric tuition and one‑time charges by class and session (including for 2025/26 and 2026/27 sessions). During this retrieval the underlying School Fees document was not accessible for extraction, so exact numeric amounts (per term / per year for each year group and the one‑time admission/application numeric amounts) could not be retrieved and therefore are not included above. The payment methods, billing rules (due date, late fines, bi‑monthly collection), non‑refund but adjustment policy, accepted payment channels (OK Wallet, bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Visa/MasterCard) and the bank account numbers are published and are reported above.
