The Essentials
Fees
Application fees
- No official, up‑to‑date application or registration fee schedule could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore a confirmed application fee amount cannot be provided here.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- No official, up‑to‑date termly or annual tuition schedule broken down by year group for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 if 2026/27 is unavailable) could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore confirmed per‑term and per‑year tuition amounts by year group cannot be provided here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No official billing schedule (term dates, whether fees are billed termly/semesterly/annually) or detailed payment terms (deadlines, penalties for late payment) could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore confirmed billing timing and formal payment‑term conditions cannot be provided here.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No published boarding fees or indication of an on‑campus boarding program were found in the school's official materials. It cannot be confirmed whether boarding is offered or what boarding charges would be.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, transport, meals, books, activities, deposits)
- No official amounts for additional fees (uniforms, school transport/bus, meals/lunch, textbooks, activity or enrichment fees, security deposit, capital levy, or similar) could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore specific amounts for these items cannot be provided here.

Refund information
- No official, published refund or fee‑cancellation policy (including conditions for refunding deposits, prorated tuition on withdrawal, or non‑refundable items) could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore confirmed refund terms cannot be provided here.

Fee payment options
- No official list of accepted payment methods (bank transfer, local bank deposit, credit/debit card, online payment gateway, cheque, or cash) or banking details could be retrieved from the school's published materials. Therefore confirmed payment method options cannot be provided here.

Summary of findings and limitations
- An attempt was made to retrieve the school's official, current fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 where 2026/27 is not published). The school's official published fee schedule could not be accessed during that check, and no definitive official fee figures were available in the school's published materials for inclusion here.
- Third‑party school listing services do show summary fee ranges for First Step International School (examples of such listings exist), but their published fee figures were not used because the school's own, official fee schedule could not be confirmed.

If you would like a factual fee summary that can be published in an external database, an official fee schedule or a school‑issued fee document for the requested academic year will be required to produce the detailed, per‑year and per‑term breakdowns you requested.
