Fees
Application fees

- An application fee is required as part of the admissions process and must be submitted when arranging the admissions test and interview.

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

- No publicly available per-term or per-year tuition amounts for specific year groups (G1–G12) for the 2026/27 academic year were found on the school's public admissions or application pages. No 2025/26 fee schedule with numeric tuition figures was located on those pages either. Exact tuition amounts for each grade and the per-term / per-year breakdown are therefore not available here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payment of tuition and other fees is required upon acceptance; the admissions steps specify that tuition and other fees must be paid when enrollment is confirmed. Specific installment schedules, term dates for billing, deadlines, or late-payment penalties were not published on the public admissions pages.

Boarding fees

- No boarding programme or boarding fees are listed on the school's publicly visible programme pages. The school presents primary and secondary day programmes; no boarding fee amounts or boarding options were found.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, materials, activities, transportation, exam fees, graduation fees, etc.)

- No itemised schedule for additional costs (uniforms, textbooks, school meals, transportation, extracurricular activity fees, exam fees, or graduation fees) was published on the public admissions or application pages. Such charges may exist but specific amounts and which items are compulsory were not listed.

Refund information

- No publicly posted refund or withdrawal fee policy with specific refund amounts or timelines was found on the school's publicly accessible admissions or application pages.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, other)

- The public admissions and contact information include a phone number and an admissions email for inquiries, but specific accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, online payment portal) are not listed on the publicly visible admissions/application pages.

Brief summary of findings

- Publicly available admissions and application pages confirm that an application fee must be submitted, that tuition and other fees are payable upon acceptance, and provide contact details for the school; however, no itemised fee schedule (application amount, tuition per grade per term or per year, boarding fees, or lists of additional compulsory charges) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was published on those pages. For a precise, numeric fee schedule, the school's admissions office should be contacted directly at the listed phone number or email.
