Fees
Application fees

- No published application fee amount is available. The school requires submission of an Admission Form and supporting documents and notes that successful offers require payment or a letter of financial guarantee to confirm a start date; however, a specific non-refundable application or assessment fee is not listed publicly.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a public, year-by-year tuition schedule for any academic year (including 2026/27 or 2025/26). There are no listed per-term or per-year tuition amounts for lower secondary (KS3) or upper secondary (KS4 / IGCSE) available in the public admissions material.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Offers of place have a validity period of 30 days and registration is completed only after all fees are fully settled and an official receipt is produced; beyond that, no detailed term dates, invoicing months, due dates, instalment options, or late‑payment penalties are published.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is published. The school presents itself as a day secondary school, and no boarding fees are listed.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- No specific published amounts are available for the following common items: registration/deposit, examination (IGCSE) fees, learning materials/textbook charges, technology or IT fees, uniforms, transport (bus) fees, meals, co-curricular activity fees, field trips, or medical/insurance charges. These categories are not given monetary values in the publicly available admissions information.

Scholarships, discounts or fee concessions

- A scholarship programme (Ardence Achievers Scholarship) is listed and describes tuition discounts: a 10% discount for excellent performance in one core subject, and up to a 50% discount for excellence across the three core subjects, subject to academic conditions and renewal rules. No numeric reduction examples beyond those percentages are published.

Refund information

The school's admissions information states that registration is completed only after fees are settled, but specific refund rules, deadlines, or percentages are not listed in the publicly available documents.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, etc.)

- The publicly available policies do not list accepted payment methods or bank details.

Parents should therefore be aware that exact amounts, billing dates, instalment options, refund rules, and payment instructions are not available in public documentation.
