Tuition fees (annual) — by programme / year group (per academic year)

- IB Primary Years Programme (Grades 1–5): reported in published fee schedules at approximately INR 5,00,000–5,50,000 per year. Where a term breakdown has been published, a term figure of INR 367,500 (paid twice) has also appeared for PYP resulting in an annual total of INR 735,000 in that schedule.

Per-term amounts and billing cadence

- Parents are invoiced on acceptance of a place and billed every term; the school issues term invoices for enrolment and term fees. For at least one published schedule a PYP term amount of INR 367,500 is shown as payable twice in the academic year (two term payments). Term invoicing and the practice of billing per term are stated in the school fee documentation.

- Device / technology expectations: laptops are listed as mandatory for students in published school materials; device purchase or provisioning costs are therefore an expected additional expense.

Refunds and withdrawal (terms that affect refunds)

- Admission/registration charges are treated as non-refundable in published schedules and reporting (application fee and admission/enrolment fee are non-refundable).

- Term fees and transport fees are invoiced per term. Transport fees are typically paid per term and many policy documents state that once a transport fee for a term has been paid there is normally no refund unless the school makes a permanent route/stop change. Published transport policy text notes that bus fees are paid per term and may not be refunded in case of subsequent relocation when the route cannot be adjusted.

- Published fee-schedule/withdrawal timelines (in prior fee schedules) provide specific refund eligibility windows for term fees depending on the notice date (for example timelines that define higher refund percentages when withdrawal notice is given well in advance of a term start, and lower or no refund for late withdrawal). Those timelines are used to determine refundable portions of term tuition when students withdraw; admission/enrolment fees and application fees remain non-refundable.

Billing and payment terms (how payments are made and invoiced)

- Enrollment and term fees are invoiced on acceptance of a place and parents are billed every term. Bank details and cheque instructions are provided for fee payments; parents are asked to make cheques/DD payable in the school's name and to include the child's name on payment instruments. Published payment guidance states that bank charges are borne by parents and that bank transfer (RTGS/NEFT/IMPS) details are provided for electronic payments.

- Accepted payment modes shown in school policy documents include: cheque / demand draft (payable to the school), bank transfer (RTGS/NEFT) to the school's bank account, and payment by card at the school (credit-card payments may attract an additional surcharge per the transport policy).
