Fees

Application and admission fees
- No public fixed amount for an application, registration or one-time admission fee is published in the school's downloadable documents. However, when a student joins mid-term an Onboarding Fee equal to 25% of Term 1 tuition is charged at the time of admission in the mid-term.

Tuition fees (amounts by year group)
- The school does not publish a public, itemised schedule of tuition amounts by year group in its downloadable parent-facing documents. Tuition is described as a single Tuition Fee that covers core learning costs (see inclusions below). Numeric tuition figures for each grade/term are not provided in the available public handbook/profile materials.
- What the Tuition Fee covers:
- Textbooks, notebooks and stationery.
- School activities directly related to teaching and learning.
- What the Tuition Fee does not cover (charged separately):

Other charges and typical additional costs
- Lunch & snacks: charged separately and not included in Tuition Fee.
- Transport: charged separately; transport fees depend on route/usage and are not included in Tuition Fee.
- External examination fees (e.g., Cambridge, AP/SAT, other third-party exams) are billed separately; AP exam registration and fee schedules (and their refund deadlines) are handled through the school's external-exam registration process and have their own published amounts and deadlines.
- Caution deposit: a caution/security deposit is required at admission; the handbook states the caution deposit is refundable after deductions (no interest is payable on the deposit). The handbook does not publish the deposit amount.
- Uniform, sports kit and annual-day costumes: charged separately and not part of the Tuition Fee.
- Enrichment and optional programmes: many external or optional activities (Model UN, competitions, Saturday Academy, IAYP, sports tournaments, summer camps, etc.) incur additional charges.

Caution deposit refunds are processed after adjusting outstanding dues; the deposit does not earn interest. Withdrawals are subject to the notice requirements described above and transfer certificates are issued only after all dues are cleared.
- For externally administered exams run through the school (for example AP exams), the exam registration documents include specific refund/cancellation deadlines and rules that apply to those exam fees.

Fee payment options (methods)
- The school's publicly available handbooks and profile documents set out payment timing and policy but do not specify accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit card, UPI or cheque) or banking details in the publicly downloadable documents. No public list of accepted payment channels is provided in those materials.

Summary of findings and gaps (brief)
- The school publishes a detailed fee policy covering what is included and excluded from Tuition Fee, term instalment dates, mid-term onboarding charges, refund/withdrawal rules and the refundable nature of the caution deposit, but it does not publish numeric tuition amounts, application/registration/admission fees, caution deposit amounts or boarding prices for the Hyderabad campus in the publicly available parent-facing documents. The AP/external exam schedules and fees that are handled through the school are published separately with their own amounts and refund rules.
