Fees
Application / Registration fees

- Candidates are required to purchase a registration form as part of the admissions process. The registration form fee is non-refundable and one form is valid for one student.

Initial / Enrollment fees

- An initial enrollment fee (described as a fee for improvement of school facilities) is charged at the start of enrollment. The school lists an enrollment/initial fee requirement but does not publish a fixed amount publicly.

Tuition fees (structure and timing)

- Tuition is charged as regular operational tuition (monthly SPP-style payments are referenced). The school characterizes tuition as a monthly charge used to cover operating costs (teacher/staff salaries, utilities, internet, and school operations). Specific tuition amounts by year group, term or per month are not published on the school's public pages.

Tuition fees by year group / per term

- The school does not publish a public breakdown of precise tuition amounts per school year/grade or per term. Parents should note the school operates Preschool, Elementary, Junior High and Senior High programmes and tuition is indicated to vary by level, but no grade-by-grade numeric schedule is publicly posted.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The registration form is purchased up front and is non-refundable. Tuition is described as a recurring monthly payment to cover school operational costs. The school requires complete and correct documentation at registration and treats the registration form as valid for one student only. No publicly posted detailed billing calendar (term dates tied to specific instalments) or published penalties/late-payment rules are available on the public pages.

Boarding fees

- No boarding programme or boarding fees are listed; the school operates as a day school across its levels. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and recurring charges

- Books and learning materials: Parents are charged for books and reference materials. Uniforms: Parents are charged for school uniforms. Other incidental costs are indicated as the family's responsibility ("other expenses" such as extracurricular materials or activity fees), but specific amounts are not published. The school provides student insurance while on school premises.

Refund information

- The registration form fee is explicitly non-refundable. No other public refund policy for tuition, enrollment, or other fees is posted on the public pages.

Fee payment options

- The school's public pages list contact details and the online PSB admissions portal for registration, but do not publish a public list of accepted payment methods (for example, specific bank transfer details, credit card acceptance, or cash procedures). No published online payment instruction or gateway details are publicly posted on the accessible admissions pages.

Summary of available public fee details

- The school publishes the existence and type of fees (registration form fee, an initial/enrollment fee for facility improvement, monthly tuition, charges for books and uniforms, and student insurance) and that the registration form is non-refundable. The school does not publish numeric fee amounts for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years (no grade-by-grade, term-by-term or per-month numeric schedule is available on public pages). Because fixed numeric amounts and a detailed instalment schedule are not published, parents should treat the items above as the complete list of fee types visible publicly and contact the school for exact amounts and the formal fee schedule.
