Overview

Fees at Orchids The International School's Mumbai campuses are set by branch and by grade. The school charges a combination of one-time application/registration and admission fees plus an annual academic (tuition) fee. Flexible payment options are offered including installment plans and EMI arrangements; monthly figures are commonly shown as the annual academic fee divided by 12.

Application & registration fees

- Application / online form fee: amounts vary by branch; a commonly listed application fee for Mumbai branches is ₹1,500.
- Registration / admission fees: some Mumbai branches apply a non‑refundable registration or admission charge at first admission. Example breakdowns published for Mumbai branches include items such as a Registration Fee (~₹1,300) and an Admission Fee (example: ₹10,000) in addition to the academic fee for first-year admission. Exact one‑time admission/registration charges differ by branch and by intake.

Tuition / academic fees — structure and examples

- General structure: academic (tuition) fees are billed for the full academic year and are commonly shown as an annual amount and a derived monthly figure (annual fee ÷ 12). Parents can typically pay the annual fee in full or choose scheduled installments or EMI plans.

- Example — Orchids (Malad West) (representative Mumbai campus; published session figures):
- Pre‑Nursery: Monthly ₹10,500 — Yearly ₹155,479.
- Nursery: Monthly ₹9,166 — Yearly ₹139,279.
- UKG (K2): Monthly ₹10,500 — Yearly ₹157,179.
- Class 1: Monthly ₹10,590 — Yearly ₹161,794.
- Class 2: Monthly ₹11,117 — Yearly ₹168,573.
- Class 3: Monthly ₹11,787 — Yearly ₹178,283.
- Class 4: Monthly ₹12,267 — Yearly ₹183,748.
- Class 5: Monthly ₹12,842 — Yearly ₹196,238.
- Class 6: Monthly ₹14,183 — Yearly ₹215,075.

- Class 9: Monthly ₹17,250 — Yearly ₹250,602.

- Example — Orchids (Borivali West) (representative values shown for nursery level):
- Nursery: Monthly figure shown as ₹10,167 (the site displays a derived monthly amount for the selected grade). An illustrative first‑year break down published for a Borivali intake lists Registration Fee ~₹1,300; Admission Fee ~₹10,000; Academic Fee (annual) ~₹1,15,000; Application Fee ~₹200 — together producing a first‑year total in the range of ~₹1,26,300 for a new Nursery admission in that example. Fees vary by grade and branch.

Installments and per‑term billing

- Installment options: many Mumbai campuses permit the annual academic fee to be paid in multiple installments (examples show 2–4 instalments depending on branch or published schedule). Some branch documents list installment amounts and schedule; parents may see an installment breakdown (for example, a three‑installment schedule is published for certain branches). The monthly figure on branch pages is often the annual amount divided by 12 for convenience.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Academic session and due timing: the academic session runs April–March; annual academic fees are billed for the session and are due according to the branch's invoice schedule. Late payment may attract penalties under the school's fee terms (branches typically publish due dates and installment deadlines).
- Payment plans: flexible plans include one‑time annual payment, multi‑installment schedules, and partner EMI schemes (monthly/quarterly EMIs) offered through the school's finance partners. The school provides online payment interfaces and a parent app for tracking and paying fees.

Boarding / residential fees (applicability to Mumbai campuses)

- Mumbai campuses are day schools; boarding / hostel facilities are not applicable at the Mumbai day campuses. No boarding fees apply for these branches.

Other charges and typical additional fees

- Common additional costs (billed separately or included in specific line items depending on branch):
- Transport / school bus (charged as a separate transport fee according to route and pickup points).
- Uniforms and footwear (one‑time purchase; sizes and sets billed separately by the uniform vendor or the school uniform counter).
- Books, workbooks and stationery (charged per grade, either via book packs or direct purchase lists).
- Activity / co‑curricular program fees, specialised lab or material charges, and exam/assessment fees as applicable.
- One‑time registration/admission and security or caution deposits where applicable.

Amounts for these additional costs vary substantially by branch and by chosen services; some branches show transport and activity as separate charge lines in the published fee breakdowns.

Refund and cancellation policy

- Refund rules: Orchids' published cancellation and refund policy states that the school reserves the right to cancel admission and that, once the admission process is complete, no refund of fees is ordinarily entertained. Parent‑initiated withdrawal of admission generally does not attract a refund of amounts paid; exceptions are handled by the school on a case‑by‑case basis (for example if the school cancels admission for legitimate reasons). Excess payments discovered during a session are normally adjusted against ensuing term payments.

Fee payment options and transactional details

- Commonly available payment methods: UPI, net banking, debit card, credit card (including credit‑card EMI options through finance partners), online payment gateway partners used by the school, and offline modes such as cheque or bank transfer per branch collection process. The school also lists partner EMI providers and an official parent app for fee tracking and payment. Transaction charges for card/EMI payments are determined by the payment/finance partner and may apply separately.

Summary guidance

- Fees differ by Mumbai branch and by grade. The page figures and branch documents periodically show both an annual academic fee and a derived monthly amount; many Mumbai branches publish an annual figure and offer installment and EMI options. For a complete, grade‑specific figure for the particular Mumbai campus of interest, consult that branch's published fee schedule for the current session (the school publishes branch‑level fee pages and fee documents that list the admission charge, annual academic fee, and installment schedule).
