Check‑out forms are used and any outstanding tuition, fees or penalties are settled during the checkout procedure.

Other one‑time or discretionary charges
- Exam fees, international exam/IB-related fees, optional activity fees, field trip costs and other course‑specific charges may be applied in addition to tuition; amounts and timing for these are invoiced separately when applicable. Replacement costs for lost/damaged school property are charged at cost.

Summary about the published fee figures and currency/year
- The numeric fee figures above are those published for the school listing that reports the school's expense schedule for the 2024–2025 / recent academic year (application, registration, bus and annual tuition amounts as shown).
