Fees
Application fees
- No published, fixed application, registration, or enrolment deposit amount is publicly available for Stockbridge American International School Davao for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Parents should note that no specific application fee value is listed in the school's admissions information.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- There is no publicly available tuition-fee schedule showing per-term or per-year amounts by year group for the 2026/27 academic year (and no complete published schedule located for 2025/26). Because no itemised tuition table is published, exact per-term and per-year tuition amounts by grade cannot be provided here.
- Third‑party listings and regional guides indicate that international-school tuition in Davao typically ranges broadly and that Stockbridge has been referenced among Davao's international options, but those sources do not provide an official per-grade fee schedule to use for exact figures. Do not rely on third‑party ranges as exact tuition amounts.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published billing schedule (invoice dates, term dates tied to payment due dates) or formal payment‑term policy (deadlines, late‑payment penalties, withholding of records) is available in public materials for the requested academic years. No standard per‑term instalment plan or due‑date table is published for parents to follow.

Boarding fees
- Stockbridge American International School Davao does not list any boarding or residential programme; there are no boarding fees published. The school's public information presents Stockbridge as a day school offering early childhood through Grade 12 programmes.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms: Itemised uniform prices appear in the school's online store/cart. Example items and prices shown are: brown jacket USD 15; long‑sleeve t‑shirt USD 25; black polo shirt USD 30; subtotal USD 70; shipping charge USD 5; total USD 75. These uniform amounts are displayed in the school's admission/store interface.
- No complete published listing was found for other typical additional charges such as school supplies, learning‑materials fees, technology charges, activity or enrichment fees, field‑trip fees, transport/bus fees, examination fees, or graduation fees. Those items are not available as a public fee schedule.

Refund information
- There is no publicly posted refund policy or published terms describing refunds for tuition, deposits, registration fees, or other charges for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. No formal refund schedule or conditions could be located in the school's public admissions materials.

Fee payment options
- The school's online store/cart displays prices in U.S. dollars and includes an online checkout flow, which indicates the capability to accept online payments through the cart system; however, no formal, detailed list of accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card brands, GCash, local bank deposit, instalment processors) is published in the available admissions materials. The presence of an online checkout suggests card or online payments are supported, but specific payment channels and any associated processing fees are not published. This is an inference from the store/cart presentation.

Short summary of public-fee information available
- The school does not publish a detailed tuition and fee schedule by grade and by term for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years in its publicly accessible admissions materials; therefore, per‑term and per‑year tuition amounts by year group are not available for citation. The only specific price items visible in public materials are sample uniform item prices displayed in the school's online store/cart. Regional school guides reference Stockbridge among Davao's international schools but do not supply an official, itemised fee schedule.

If you require a fee schedule to list exact per‑grade and per‑term tuition amounts, the school's published materials do not contain those figures; the uniform item prices shown above are the only discrete fee amounts found in the public admission/store pages.
