Fees
Application / Admission fees

- An admission (application) fee is required at the time of enrolment. A refundable security deposit is also required on admission.

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

- The school issues tuition as term fees; however, no publicly available, branch-specific schedule of per-term or per-grade tuition amounts for Lyceum Nuwara Eliya for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year is published. Term-fee billing is the standard method used. Example receipts from Lyceum branches show additional line items (for example subject/lab charges) added to term charges, but specific per-grade term amounts are not published.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is billed as term fees. Term fees are non-refundable and may be changed before the start of a term; parents/guardians remain responsible for term fees until a child is officially withdrawn. Late payments attract a surcharge, and non-payment at the end of the third month may result in termination of the student's enrolment at the end of that term. A full term's written notice of withdrawal is required. A refundable deposit is refunded after school clearance (within the school's stated timeframe) after deducting any arrears or damages.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding is not listed among services or facilities for the Nuwara Eliya branch; no boarding fees apply for this branch.

Other costs and fees

- Additional charges commonly billed in addition to term tuition include: examination fees (including international O/L and A/L exam entry fees where applicable), subject or laboratory fees for practical subjects, textbooks and workbooks, uniform costs, optional extracurricular or club activity fees, canteen or meal costs, and occasional workshop or event fees. The Lyceum Guardian program offers optional coverage for textbooks, workbooks, uniforms and international examination fees for eligible students.

Refund information

- Term fees are treated as non-refundable. The refundable deposit paid at admission is returned after the school's clearance procedures; the school will deduct any outstanding arrears or charges from that deposit and issues the refund within the school's stated processing period. A parent/guardian must give a full term's written notice to avoid being charged the next term's fees. Non-payment procedures may lead to termination of enrolment as noted above.

Fee payment options and contact for payment

- The school's published materials instruct parents to work with the branch Accounts / Admissions office for exact billing, payment terms and accepted payment methods. The Nuwara Eliya branch contact details are: Lyceum Nuwara Eliya, No. 55, Waterfield Drive, Nuwara Eliya; phone: (+94) 52 2 222 215 and the central admission line +94 117 385 000. Use the branch Accounts/Admissions contact to obtain exact payment methods and to receive an official fee schedule and invoice.

Summary of findings and availability of numeric fees

- A branch-specific, numeric fee table (per grade, per term, for 2026/27 or 2025/26) for Lyceum Nuwara Eliya is not published in a publicly accessible fee schedule. Available, published school materials specify the types of charges that are required (admission fee, refundable deposit, term fees, exam/subject/lab fees, uniforms, textbooks) and the billing and refund rules, but do not provide the exact amounts per year group or per term for the Nuwara Eliya branch. Example branch receipts and third‑party reports show that subject/lab and examination fees are billed in addition to term tuition, but these examples do not substitute for a formal, branch fee table. For exact per-term and per-grade amounts, please confirm with the branch Accounts / Admissions office using the phone numbers above.
