Billing schedule and payment terms

- A one‑time enrolment/registration charge is applied for new students (see above). Exact published billing schedules (official academic billing dates, cut‑offs, or required deposit amounts and whether the school required post‑dated cheques or specific instalment names) are not publicly published in a single official fee schedule. The school typically offers annual tuition billing with instalment options handled by the finance office; the precise instalment plan options and due dates must be confirmed with the school's finance/admissions team.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable: SWA operates as a day school and does not list boarding as part of its campus services. No boarding fees are published because boarding is not offered.

Other costs and recurring charges

- Uniforms: A school uniform is required; uniform purchase is a separate family cost. Specific uniform price lists are not published in the public fee summary.
- Extras commonly charged by international schools (not itemised in a public SWA fee table): textbooks and learning materials, activity/excursion charges, optional subject or external exam fees, specialist programme fees, bus/transportation fees, instrument hire or music lesson fees, and school meal costs. SWA indicates that uniform and co‑curricular programmes are part of school life; specific charge amounts for these items are not published in a single public fee schedule.
- Scholarships: The school operates a scholarship programme covering partial or full tuition for selected students; scholarship applications require payment of the registration fee as part of the process. Scholarship awards may be renewable annually subject to conditions.
- Promotional discounts: The school has appeared in third‑party bank/customer promotions (discount offers through partner bank campaigns) at times; these are occasional promotional discounts rather than standard published fee reductions.

Refund information

- A detailed public refund policy for tuition, deposits, or registration fees specific to the 2026/27 academic year is not published in a single publicly‑available fee document. The independent guidance available indicates that the school's formal refund/withdrawal liability terms are not openly published in full; families should obtain the school's written fee and refund terms as part of the admission/enrolment contract.

Fee payment options

- Specific published payment channels (for example: which bank account numbers, whether online credit‑card payments are accepted, or whether international wire transfers are supported) are not listed in a publicly available, consolidated fee schedule. Payment processing is handled by the school's finance office; parents are required to follow the finance office instructions for methods and remittance details. Common methods used by comparable international schools include bank transfer and card payment, and some schools also accept instalment plans; those are typical industry practices but the school's official accepted methods and any third‑party card processors should be confirmed directly with the finance office.

Summary of availability / data limitations

- The figures above use the most recent independent published indicative fee listing available in February 2026 and listed the key one‑off charges shown there (application and enrolment). The school does not publish a single, fully detailed public fee schedule (showing per‑grade, per‑term billing dates, detailed refundable deposit rules, or an exhaustive list of all optional charges) that is openly available. For the 2026/27 academic year the independent indicative figures are presented above; detailed billing schedules, exact instalment deadlines, refund terms, uniform price lists, and bank/payment instructions are not published as a consolidated public fee schedule.
