Fees
Application fees
- An admission (application) fee is charged for new enrolments; it is listed as a required payment at admission but the public enrolment materials do not publish a branch-specific or grade-specific amount.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- Tuition is billed as term fees. No public, branch-specific per-term or per-grade tuition amounts for Lyceum International School – Kurunegala for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 if 2026/27 is not yet published) are available on the school's public admissions or branch pages; the school's enrolment documentation confirms that term fees apply but does not publish a detailed fee table by year group on the public pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is charged as term fees; term fees are described in the enrolment terms as non-refundable and may be changed prior to the start of a term. Late payments incur a surcharge. Non-payment of term fees for three months can result in termination of the student's enrolment at the end of that term. A full term's written notice of withdrawal is required by the first day of the student's final term; failure to give that notice makes the parent/guardian liable for the next term's fees and the school may withhold leaving certificates and report cards until obligations are settled. These billing and payment rules are stated in the school's enrolment terms.

Deposit and refund rules
- A refundable deposit is required at the time of admission. The refundable deposit is refundable only after submission of the School Liability and Clearance Form; the school will refund the deposit within four (04) weeks after receiving that clearance form, after deducting any outstanding term fees or charges for damages to school property. Term fees are explicitly described as non-refundable.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

Other costs and fees
- Uniforms: a uniform store is listed among branch facilities; uniform purchase is an additional cost borne by parents. Textbooks and workbooks: a book store is listed and textbook/workbook costs apply. Transport: a school bus service is listed and school transport fees will apply where used. Canteen and other optional services (e.g., extracurricular activities with separate charges) are available and may incur additional charges. The enrolment/guardian coverage option indicates that textbook, workbook and uniform costs can be included under optional coverage. Specific price amounts for uniforms, textbooks, transport or other ancillary charges are not published on the public branch pages.

Lyceum Guardian and optional coverage
- An optional Lyceum Guardian programme exists that, for students enrolling from the 2026/2027 academic year (Grade 1 and above), provides term-fee coverage as a core benefit and offers optional coverage for textbooks, workbooks, uniforms, and international O/L and A/L examination fees. Details of optional coverage items are set out in the Guardian programme description.

Refunds and withholding of documents
- Term fees are non-refundable. The refundable deposit is returned within four weeks after submission of the School Liability and Clearance Form, subject to deductions for outstanding fees or damage. Leaving certificates and report cards may be withheld until outstanding fees are paid. A full term's written notice of withdrawal is required to avoid liability for the next term's fees.

Fee payment options
- The school's publicly accessible admissions and branch pages and enrolment terms confirm invoices and term fees but do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example, specific guidance on credit card, bank transfer, online payment gateway, or cash/POS). Parents should note that the enrolment process involves issuance of invoices and that the school's accounts or admissions office handles fee billing and payments, but no public payment-method list or branch-specific instruction is published on the public pages.

Summary of availability of fee amounts
- The school confirms the following fee categories and rules in its enrolment documentation: an admission fee, a refundable deposit, term fees (non-refundable), billing rules (late payment surcharge; termination after three months non-payment), deposit refund timing, requirement for full-term written notice, and optional Guardian coverage that can include textbooks, uniforms and examination fees.
