Fees
Application fees
- No application, registration, enrollment deposit, or similar one‑time admission fee is published for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) in the school's publicly available admissions information or main school materials.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)
- The school's publicly listed materials do not publish a fee schedule that breaks tuition down by year group (grades/years) or by term for the 2026/27 academic year or for 2025/26. The school operates classes for grades 1–11. No per‑term or per‑grade tuition amounts are available in the school's published admissions or overview pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published billing schedule, invoice cadence (monthly/termly/annual) or detailed payment terms (due dates, late‑payment penalties, discounts for advance payment) are provided in the school's publicly available admissions or general information pages. The admissions process describes application, testing, interview and contract signing steps, but does not include invoicing or payment timing details.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school provides on‑site meals (balanced breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are described among offered conditions) but does not advertise any boarding/dormitory provision. Therefore no boarding fees are published or applicable in the school's public materials.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- No itemized list of additional compulsory costs (uniform prices, textbooks/workbooks, device fees, transport, extracurricular/activity fees, or compulsory materials charges) is published in the school's public admissions or overview pages for 2026/27 or 2025/26. The school states that each pupil is provided with a tablet and that meals are provided as part of school conditions, but no published cost breakdown for uniforms, books, or activity fees is available.

Refund information
- No published refund, cancellation, or fee‑return policy (for withdrawal before or after term start, for failed visa/relocation, or for early contract termination) is available in the school's publicly available admissions or general information pages for 2026/27 or 2025/26.

Fee payment options
- The school's public contact and admissions pages do not list accepted payment methods (credit/debit card, bank transfer, cash, online payment portal, or local bank details) or instructions for electronic payment. Contact phone and email are given for enquiries.

Summary of available facts and missing fee details
- The school publicly states its grades (1–11), bilingual instruction and student provisions (including meals and provision of a tablet), but does not publish an itemized or graded tuition schedule, application fee, termly breakdown, payment schedule, refund policy, or payment method list for the 2026/27 academic year or for 2025/26. Because those fee items are not published in the school's public admissions and overview materials, no reliable per‑grade or per‑term fee figures can be provided here.
