Fees
Application fee
- No specific application or registration fee amount is published by the school in its public admissions information. The school's admissions FAQ states that annual tuition varies by grade and that additional charges may apply for transport, extracurricular activities and other services.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)
- The school does not publish a detailed per-grade, per-term fee schedule in its public admissions materials. Public school-directory listings show differing annual figures for general day-school tuition: one directory lists an annual tuition of INR 260,000 per year, another lists INR 340,000 per year, and a separate listing shows a lower starting figure of INR 70,000 for a first-year amount. These directory figures disagree with one another.
- Because the school's official materials do not provide a per-term breakdown or grade-by-grade schedule, exact per-term or per-grade amounts cannot be stated with certainty from publicly available documents. Any per-term figures derived by dividing a published annual amount would be an estimate only and are not published by the school.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's publicly available admissions and FAQ content does not include a published billing schedule (for example, annual, termly, quarterly) or detailed payment terms such as due dates, late-payment penalties, or discounts. The admissions FAQ notes that tuition varies by grade and that additional charges may apply, but does not set out a billing timetable.

Boarding / hostel fees (if applicable)
- International Village School is described as a day school and does not offer a hostel or boarding facility. Therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- The school's admissions FAQ indicates there may be additional charges beyond tuition for transport, extracurricular activities and other services. Specific amounts for uniforms, transport, excursions, specialty programmes, insurance, textbook or technology charges are not published in the school's public admissions material. Directory listings also do not provide a consistent breakdown of these additional charges.

Refund information
- The school's public admissions and FAQ pages do not publish a refundable-deposit policy or a fee-refund policy for withdrawals, cancellations, or visa-related issues. No official refund terms are available in the school's publicly accessible admissions materials.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- The school's public admissions information does not list specific accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit card, cheque). Contact details for admissions are published but payment-method details are not provided in the publicly posted admissions content.

Summary of availability and variation in published figures (brief statement on data gaps)
- The school's official admissions FAQ confirms that tuition varies by grade but does not publish a grade-by-grade or per-term fee schedule. Public school-directory listings give conflicting annual tuition figures (examples: INR 260,000 per year; INR 340,000 per year; a listing showing INR 70,000 as a first-year figure), so there is no single, consistently published annual amount available from public listings. Because the school's official materials do not publish the requested level of detail (application fee amount, per-grade per-term fees, billing schedule, refund policy, or payment-methods), exact and authoritative line-item fee amounts for the current academic year cannot be provided from the publicly available documentation.
