Application / registration fees

- No separate application or one-off registration fee is published on the school's admissions pages for entry to any grade. Families submit the required application documents and take the entry assessment as part of the admissions process.

Tuition fees (per semester and per year, by school section)

- Primary (Grades 1–5): RMB 55,000– RMB 60,000 per semester (RMB 110,000– RMB 120,000 per academic year).

- Middle (Grades 6–9): RMB 60,000 per semester (RMB 120,000 per academic year).

- High School (Grades 10–12): RMB 60,000 per semester (RMB 120,000 per academic year).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The academic year is divided into two semesters; tuition is billed on a per‑semester basis. Families are required to pay by the semester and late or unpaid tuition may result in loss of place.

- Accepted payment methods: cash (RMB), RMB checks, bank cards issued by Chinese banks, bank counter transfers and on‑line banking. When paying by bank transfer, families must indicate the student's name and submit the transfer receipt to the school accounting office for confirmation. The school issues official invoices on receipt of payment.

School transport (bus) fees

- Dedicated school bus service is available within an approximate 13 km straight‑line radius of campus. Bus fees are charged by distance and by semester; published per‑semester bands include RMB 4,000, RMB 4,700, RMB 5,400, RMB 6,100 and RMB 6,800 depending on route/distance. Meal costs are handled separately and are the family's responsibility.

Other costs and typical extras

- Meals / cafeteria: charged separately; students can pay for lunches or bring food.

- School uniform: charged separately (uniform costs are not included in the tuition figure).

- AP/standardised exam fees, textbooks, activity fees, specialty course materials, extracurricular program fees and school trip costs: charged in addition to tuition and vary by program/grade.

- Deposit or other one‑off fees: no universally published application deposit or separate registration fee is listed on the school admissions pages; other third‑party sources do not consistently report a standard deposit.

Refund information

- The school's publicly available admissions and fee pages do not publish a detailed tuition‑refund policy or standard refund schedule. Families should note that the school's payment terms state that unpaid tuition may result in loss of the student's place.

Key payment notes and administrative requirements

- When paying by bank transfer, always include the student's full name on the transfer instruction and provide the original transfer receipt to the school accounting office (fax or hand in) so the payment can be matched to the student record. Overdue fees can affect the student's enrollment status.

Sources used for the above fee items

- Published high‑school fee, bank details and bus fee bands are taken from the school's high‑school admissions/fee page.
- Primary/middle tuition bands, boarding and other typical charges are reported in contemporary education portal summaries and school‑profile pages that compile current fee figures for this school.
