Fees
Fees overview for NOIC Academy (Markham, Ontario)

- Summary statement: A full, itemized fee schedule (application fee, tuition by year/term, billing schedule, boarding fees, uniform and other mandatory charges, refund policy, and payment-method details) is not published in the school's publicly accessible admissions materials and prospectus for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Because the school has not provided numeric fee amounts in those public documents, a factual, line-by-line breakdown with currency amounts cannot be given.

- Application fees: No specific application or registration fee amount is published in the accessible admissions materials. The admissions procedure references submission of application forms and an assessment step, but no concrete application-fee amount is listed.

- Tuition fees by year / term: No per-year, per-term, or per-grade tuition figures are published in the school pages and prospectus that are publicly accessible. Admissions pages reference payment of a tuition deposit and paying full tuition for the first year, but do not show tuition amounts by grade, program (OSSD / IBDP), or by term/semester. Therefore numeric tuition figures per term or per year group are not available to report.

- Billing schedule and payment terms: The admissions procedures instruct applicants to pay a tuition deposit and to pay full tuition for the first year when accepting an offer, but no detailed billing calendar, installment deadlines, late-payment penalties, or percentage schedules are published in the publicly accessible materials. No formal semester / installment schedule with amounts was found.

- Boarding fees: The school operates a residence and identifies boarding as an option (residence address and contact details are published), but no boarding fee amounts or boarding fee breakdowns (room type, meal plan, residence deposit) are published in the accessible prospectus or admissions pages.

- Other costs (uniforms, textbooks, activity fees, deposits): No mandatory uniform fees, textbook/material charges, technology fees, or security/deposit amounts with numeric values are published in the accessible materials. The prospectus and program pages describe programs and services (for example mentorship included in tuition) but do not list additional compulsory charges with amounts.

- Refund information: No published, itemized refund policy with numeric refund schedules for withdrawals or cancellations (for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 period) is available in the prospectus or admissions pages accessible publicly. The admissions steps reference deposit and payment steps but do not include a public refund table.

- Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other): The publicly accessible contact information lists phone and email contacts for admissions and residence, but no explicit, published list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheque, online payment portal) with instructions is available in those resources.

- What was searched and why the breakdown cannot be provided: The school's prospectus page and admissions/OSSD/IB pages were reviewed; these pages reference admissions steps (including payment of a tuition deposit) and list residence/contact details and program descriptions, but they do not publish numeric fee tables or the requested line-by-line fee schedule for 2026/27 or 2025/26. Because the necessary numeric fee items are not present in those public materials, it is not possible to produce a factual fee breakdown with currency amounts for the requested academic year.

- Final factual position: No numeric application fee, tuition-per-year or per-term figures, boarding fee amounts, mandatory uniform or material charges, refund tables, or specified payment-method instructions are publicly listed in the school's accessible prospectus and admissions pages for the requested years; therefore those figures cannot be provided here.
