Fees
Application / Enrollment Fees
- Enrollment (application) fee: USD 420.
- Materials fee (one-off): USD 480.

Tuition fees by year group / programme
- No itemised tuition schedule by school year (Pre‑K through Grade 12) is publicly published. The only published price listing located describes a short-term / full‑term hub program (60‑day sessions) rather than a standard K–12 annual schedule. For that short‑term/full‑term offering the monthly fee is listed as USD 325 (January–October).

Fees per term / billing units
- The short‑term/full‑term listing shows a monthly billing model (monthly fee USD 325 for Jan–Oct) for that program; there is no public, school-published per‑term or per‑semester table for the regular Pre‑K–12 academic year.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No publicly available, school-published billing schedule or detailed payment terms for the standard academic year were located. The short‑term/full‑term listing references monthly charges for Jan–Oct for that program; no cancellation or refund terms for regular K–12 tuition were published in the materials reviewed.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not listed as a standard offering. Program descriptions and the school's community/short‑term pages describe day programming, short‑term stays, and a day camp (Green Camp) rather than a residential/boarding program; no boarding fees were found.

Other costs and recurring charges

Search summary and data gaps
- A comprehensive, itemised fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) for Pre‑K through Grade 12 was not publicly available in the materials and pages reviewed. The only concrete numeric figures located apply to a short‑term/full‑term program listing (60‑day hub) on a third‑party platform: Enrollment USD 420, Materials USD 480, Monthly fee USD 325 (Jan–Oct). These figures come from a third‑party listing and are not presented on an itemised K–12 fee table on the school's public pages.

If you require fully itemised, authoritative tuition and fee figures for specific grade levels (per term and per year) for the 2026/27 academic year, the school provides a direct contact address for admissions and enrolment inquiries.
