Fees
Application / Registration Fees
- Online registration / application fee for new admissions: Rs. 500 (this registration fee is stated as non‑refundable).
- Re‑admission / readmission registration fee where applied: Rs. 300 (non‑refundable for the re‑admission process referenced in published circulars).
- For certain international‑curriculum admission forms (Cambridge / IBDP / A‑Levels) an application form fee of Rs. 1,000 plus payment‑gateway charges is applied at the time of submitting the online admission form.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The institution's public materials available through the school's published notices and policy documents do not contain a single, consolidated numeric fee schedule listing tuition amounts per grade or per term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26). Therefore exact tuition figures by year group and per‑term instalments are not published in the school's publicly posted policy documents and admission notices. Parents are expected to follow the school's published fee schedule at the time of admission for the specific grade.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are collected on a term/quarter basis; admission is confirmed only after payment of the required initial instalment (first instalment / first quarter fees) and any security deposit where applicable. Failure to pay fees as per the published schedule may lead to cancellation of the admission and release of the seat.
- Re‑admission and new‑admission procedures reference firm payment windows for early‑year fee collection (for example, re‑admission forms and first quarter fee submission windows are published in school circulars). Exact due dates vary by academic year and are published in the school's admission/re‑admission circulars.

Boarding / Hostels
- Boarding / hostel facilities are not applicable; the school operates as a day school (no boarding fees are charged).

Other costs and recurring charges
- Transport (school bus) services are offered as a separate, chargeable facility where required; bus/transport charges are billed separately and are subject to route and payment deadlines (transport fees and deadlines are notified in specific transport circulars). Exact transport charges are not published as a single numeric schedule in the school's general policy notices.
- Uniforms, textbooks, stationery and other personal/academic supplies are charged to parents separately; the school's admission instructions reference uniform use (e.g., passport photographs in school uniform) and require parents to provide prescribed items, though published notices do not list standardised uniform or book prices as a consolidated fee line.
- Security deposits, admission fees and any one‑time charges where applicable are collected at the time of admission; exact amounts and heads (security deposit, admission fee, development fee, etc.) are specified in the formal fee schedule issued at admission rather than in the general policy notices available publicly.

Refunds and retention policy
- The registration / administrative charge (e.g., Rs. 500) is retained and non‑refundable. For withdrawals and changes before or after the academic year begins, the school's fee retention policy specifies that the administrative charge plus admission fees (for new admissions) and term fees/tuition (as applicable up to the month of application for promoted students) are collected/retained according to the retention rules. Parents should note that certain admission/registration charges are explicitly non‑refundable.

Fee payment options and practical details
- Accepted electronic payment methods referenced in published admission notices include credit card and debit card (often with no gateway charge for card payments) and internet/net banking via the school's payment gateway (net banking may attract gateway charges). Payment by the online payment gateway is the standard method described for registration and fee payments in published circulars.
- Admission and re‑admission procedures indicate that parents must submit printed copies of the completed online admission form along with the payment acknowledgement/receipt to complete the admission formalities; final confirmation of admission is tied to receipt of the required fee instalment(s).

Summary statement
- Application fees: commonly Rs. 500 (standard online registration) and in some instances Rs. 300 for re‑admission; certain international programme application forms reference Rs. 1,000 plus gateway charges.
- Tuition by grade / per term: not published as a consolidated numeric schedule in the school's publicly posted policy documents for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years; tuition amounts are communicated to parents in the formal fee schedule issued at admission.
- Billing/payment: term/quarter billing with admission confirmation contingent on payment of the required initial instalment; online card and net‑banking payments via a payment gateway are used. Refunds: registration/administrative charges are retained (non‑refundable) and admission/term fees are governed by the school's fee retention policy.
