Fees
Application / Admission fees

- An admission (application) fee is charged at the time of confirmation of a place. Promotional discounts on the admission fee are offered periodically (for example, a 50% admission-fee discount was offered during a campaign in late April–early May 2026).
- The school permits the admission fee to be paid in installments by arrangement with school management; if an agreed second installment is delayed the school may cancel admission and no amount will be refunded. Parents must complete payment within the school's stated deadline for seat reservation (payment is normally required within 15 days of the admission confirmation).

Tuition fees by year group (per-term / per-period details available publicly)

- Publicly available school accounting entries for the 2025–26 session show examples of monthly tuition amounts recorded in the school's fee ledgers. Examples from that session include: BDT 15,000 (entry for Class Two, April 2025) and BDT 16,500 (entry for Class Three, August 2025). These ledger entries indicate tuition is recorded on a monthly basis in the school accounts. Use these figures only as specific examples rather than a complete published schedule for each year group.
- The school issues separate charges for books and other consumable materials in addition to tuition; ledger entries show book-fee instalments (example entry BDT 8,525 for a books payment in 2025).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Seat confirmation requires payment within 15 days of the admission confirmation notice. Failure to complete agreed payments on schedule may lead to cancellation of the reserved seat and forfeiture of amounts as per school policy.
- The school records tuition as periodic monthly provisions in its accounting system (examples from the 2025–26 session show monthly tuition entries). Parents should expect regular monthly or termly billing depending on the payment plan agreed at admission.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No boarding/hostel fee schedule or residential (boarding) provision is published for Frobel Academy. The school operates day-school services and offers school transport for day students rather than an on‑campus boarding programme. Parents should plan for day-school fee items (tuition, transport, books, uniform) rather than boarding charges.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Uniform: Parents purchase uniforms from the school's designated vendor when instructed by the school at admission. Bags, books and stationery are provided by the school as described in the admissions guidance; however separate charges for books and stationery are applied in some instalments.
- Transport: School transport is charged separately. A published transport registration document shows an example charge of BDT 6,303 per month (charged from August to June and structured to cover the transport agreement period); the transport arrangement requires a registration and subject-to-policy terms such as advance notice for route changes. A security deposit (commonly equivalent to one month's transport fee) and cancellation rules apply to transport registrations.
- Books and consumables: The school levies book fees and may take book-fee instalments; examples from accounts show book-fee instalment amounts recorded during the 2025–26 session.
- Financial assistance: A financial-assistance process exists and parents may apply for need-based support; financial assistance, when approved, is adjusted against tuition in the school accounts.

Refund and cancellation information

- Admission and instalment policy: If instalments for admission-related payments are not paid on the agreed schedule, the school may cancel admission and withhold amounts already paid as stated in the admissions policy. Parents are required to meet the school's payment deadlines to secure and retain a place.
- Transport refunds and deposits: Transport registration typically requires a one-month security deposit and includes strict rules on cancellations; the transport policy example specifies limited or no refunds for cancellations unless stated otherwise in the transport committee agreement.

Fee payment options

- Bank and digital channels: The school uses BRAC Bank's corporate collection channels for fee collection, including direct debit, recurring bill collection, BRAC's payment gateway, mobile-app collections and CORPnet. This enables electronic bank transfers, card and recurring payments through BRAC Bank channels.
- Parent/ERP portal and in‑office payments: The school operates a parent/ERP portal for registered users and accepts payments handled through school administration channels; parents are able to contact admissions or the accounts office for accepted payment methods and instructions.

Summary of availability of published fee detail

- A comprehensive, publicly-published fee schedule showing every year group's official per-term and per-year amounts for the 2026/27 academic year was not available in the publicly accessible materials reviewed. The items above combine the explicitly published payment policies and the specific payment entries and transport schedule that are publicly accessible as examples (not a full official fee tariff). For precise per‑year / per‑term tariff lines for the 2026/27 academic year (or a full printed fee schedule), contact the school's admissions/accounts office via the published school contact channels to request the official fee schedule and payment instructions.

When a seat is available, an admission link is emailed; submit the form online and upload the required documents: birth certificate, vaccination/immunization card, transfer certificate if transferring, and report cards from the previous two classes; copies of parent's passports and other certificates may be requested, and a passport copy is mandatory for overseas students. Hard copies of documents and four passport pictures must accompany the online submission.
