Refunds and withdrawal
- No school‑published, detailed refund schedule for the 2026/27 academic year was located in publicly available admissions materials. Comparable international K‑12 schools in China commonly operate a term‑based refund scale (for example: full refund if withdrawal occurs before term start, partial refund if before a defined cutoff date, and no refund after a later cutoff), and deposits or non‑refundable registration fees are commonly retained for administrative costs. Parents should expect that refunds and penalties will follow an established written policy administered by school finance/registrar.

Fee payment options
- Common, accepted payment channels for schools operating in China include bank transfer to the school's designated account, campus payment platforms that accept Alipay and WeChat Pay (stored‑value campus accounts / ‘face‑scan' canteen systems), and online payment gateways tied to the school's billing system. Credit card acceptance varies by school and may be limited or routed through a bank payment gateway; parents commonly pay by bank transfer, Alipay, or WeChat Pay.

Other practical fee notes for budgeting
- Expect separate, termly or annual charges for optional co‑curricular activities, instrument hire or music lessons, competitive team travel, and external standardised testing; these are charged in addition to the headline tuition and boarding figures.
