Fee payment options and administrative process

For payment arrangements and accepted payment methods, parents are directed to work with the Finance Office.

- The publicly available materials do not list an explicit, detailed menu of accepted payment channels (for example: bank transfer account numbers for tuition, specific credit card processing options, or online payment links) for regular tuition payments. When a parent needs specific payment channel details (bank transfer instructions, credit/debit card processing, local currency vs USD options), those details are provided directly by the Finance Office or on the billing/invoice issued to the family.

Brief summary of unavailable items (concise)

- The school's public fee pages and handbooks provide policies, deadlines, refunds and sample incidental charges, and they specify that current tuition amounts and exact boarding fees are supplied by the Finance Office or Registrar; however, the site does not publish a grade‑by‑grade or term‑by‑term tuition table in the public fee pages or handbooks. To obtain precise per‑grade and per‑term tuition figures for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year, contact the Finance Office or Registrar as the school's published material directs.
