Fees

Annual tuition at TRIO World Academy ranges from up to INR 300,000 for 2026/27.

Application & Prospectus Fees

- Prospectus / application form: INR 2,000 (one-time, payable when obtaining the prospectus).
- Application/admission fee: an application/admission fee is collected at the time of admission (non‑refundable).

Tuition fees (annual and per‑installment guidance)

- The school collects tuition and development levy in three installments over the academic year (installments are collected one term in advance). Use this billing structure when calculating per‑term amounts from an annual fee.

- Reported annual tuition (third‑party published figures):
- Day student annual tuition reported at INR 300,000. Using the school's three‑installment billing cycle, that annual figure corresponds to approximately INR 100,000 per installment.
- Boarding student annual tuition reported at INR 741,000. Using the school's three‑installment billing cycle, that annual figure corresponds to approximately INR 247,000 per installment.
- Market listings and school‑comparison sources report a broader annual range for TRIO World Academy between approximately INR 600,000 and INR 900,000 for international curriculum students; where an annual figure within that range is used, divide by three to estimate each installment.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Installment schedule (academic year example shown in the school's published schedule):
- First installment: covers 1 Aug – 30 Nov; reminder and payment due dates are issued in advance. Example schedule given for 2025–26.
- Second installment: covers 1 Dec – 28 Feb; reminder and payment due dates are issued in advance.
- Third installment: covers 1 Mar – 05 Jun; reminder and payment due dates are issued in advance.
- Seat confirmation: to confirm a place, the term fees for the term in which the child joins must be paid in advance. Mid‑term enrolment requires payment of the full installment for the period in which the student joins. Withdrawal during an installment period requires payment of that installment in full. The admission fee is not refundable. Late payment attracts a late fee.

Boarding / residential fees

- Boarding is offered and third‑party listings report a boarding annual fee (example reported figure INR 741,000). Where a boarding annual fee is used, it is collected across the same installment schedule (estimate installment = annual ÷ 3). Actual boarding charges may include separate residential service charges and may vary by year group and room type.

Other costs and one‑off fees

- The school fee covers books, notebooks, local field trips and campus food (breakfast, lunch and snacks) only. The following are explicitly excluded from the base tuition and are billed separately when they occur:
- Out‑of‑station trips and travel costs
- Examination fees (Checkpoint, IGCSE, IB DP examination fees)
- Certain extracurricular activities (some ECAs) and after‑school activity fees
- Yearbook fee
- Special Educational Needs (SEN) support fees and ESL fees (where applicable)
- Uniforms (uniforms are ordered separately via the school's uniform store)
- Summer camp and other one‑off costs
- Any other activity or service specified as additional at the time of occurrence.

- Uniforms: Uniforms are purchased separately through the school's uniform store (online ordering and delivery available). Uniform cost is additional to tuition.

Scholarships & application fees for scholarships

- Scholarship applications for certain programmes incur an application fee of INR 2,000; TRIO offers scholarship waivers (example: up to 30% tuition waiver for selected IB DP candidates) under published scholarship programmes. Scholarship awards and their terms vary by year and programme.

Refund information

- The admission fee is non‑refundable. If a student withdraws during an installment period, fees for that installment period must be paid in full. Late payment of an installment may attract a late fee. These refund and withdrawal rules apply to the school's installment billing structure.

Fee payment options and administration

- Payments may be completed online or offline as part of the admissions and post‑admission process; the school uses an ERP/login portal for parent administration (trioworldacademy.edunexttechnologies.com) that is listed for parent access and fee management. Specific payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer/NEFT, UPI or cheque) are not published in detail on the public fee pages. Parents will follow the school's invoicing and portal instructions for available payment methods and any transaction charges.

Practical per‑installment examples (use the school's three‑installment cycle to calculate):
- Example A (reported day annual tuition INR 300,000): approx. INR 100,000 per installment.
- Example B (reported boarding annual tuition INR 741,000): approx. INR 247,000 per installment.

Brief summary of what was found and where detail is limited

- The school's own published fees and payment pages describe the billing cycle, instalment timing, what the base fee includes and excludes, the non‑refundable admission fee rule, and the requirement to pay the term fee to confirm a seat. These items are stated in the school's fees and admissions pages.
- The school does not publish a detailed public fee table showing per‑grade (year group) and per‑term amounts on its public fee pages. Available annual tuition figures by category (day vs boarding) have been reported in reputable third‑party school‑listing guides; those third‑party annual figures can be converted into per‑installment estimates by dividing by three (the school's stated installment count). For per‑grade or exact per‑term fee lines, the school's admissions/finance office provides final invoices.

If you need the exact per‑grade and per‑term fee lines for the current admission cycle, use the school's fees and admissions contacts and the school ERP to obtain the official fee schedule and invoice.
