Fees

Application / Admission fee

- Lyceum Panadura charges an admission/registration fee for new enrolments. The amount is set at branch level and is not published as a single, public figure for Panadura.

Tuition fees (per term / per year group)

- Tuition is billed as term fees and is set by branch and by year group (grade). Invoices are issued on a term basis; amounts therefore vary by grade, curriculum stream and branch. No single public table of numeric per-grade, per-term tuition amounts for Lyceum Panadura is published.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing frequency: Tuition is invoiced termly. Term invoices may show instalment line items within a term invoice (the school's practice includes term-based invoicing and, in some cases, instalment presentation). Payments are recorded against term invoices.
- Due dates and late-payment terms: The school issues term invoices with branch-specific payment due dates and terms; parents should observe the due date shown on the branch invoice to avoid penalties. (Payment due dates and any penalty terms are provided on the branch invoice and in the school's accounts communications.)

Boarding fees

- Lyceum Panadura operates as a day school; boarding services are not listed for Lyceum branches and there are no published boarding fees.

Other compulsory or regular additional fees

- Textbooks and workbooks: Programme books and workbooks are sold through branch bookshops; textbook/bookshop charges are additional to tuition.
- Examination and subject / laboratory fees: International examination entry fees and subject/lab fees (for example, science lab charges where applicable) are billed in addition to tuition.
- Uniforms and merchandise: Uniform items are supplied through branch uniform stores; uniform purchases are charged separately from tuition.
- Transport / school bus: If a bus service is used, transport charges are additional and billed according to the branch transport schedule where available.
- Co-curricular / optional services: Extra-curricular activity fees, remedial or coaching charges, event fees, optional course materials and other add-ons are billed separately and vary by student selection and branch.
- Optional Lyceum Guardian coverage: From the 2026/2027 academic year the Lyceum network introduced optional term-fee coverage (Lyceum Guardian) for qualifying grades, with optional coverage for textbooks, uniforms and international exam fees where chosen. Availability and scope are branch-specific.

Refund information

- There is no single, publicly posted branch-wide refund schedule for tuition, admission or other fees. Refunds or partial-term charge adjustments are handled under the school's contractual and branch accounts rules; specific refund terms (including whether admission/registration fees are refundable) are determined by branch accounting and the enrolment agreement.

Fee payment options

- Online payments via the school's payment gateway are accepted for term invoices; branch accounting and admissions teams also accept the payment methods specified on their invoices.
- Bank transfer / electronic funds transfer (EFT) and other branch-specified methods are used where detailed on the branch invoice or accounts communications. The precise payment channels (credit card, bank transfer, mobile/EFT) are provided with the invoice from the branch.

What to expect when budgeting (practical points)

- Expect three term invoices per academic year (term-based billing) with tuition amounts that increase with higher year groups and with the choice of national or international streams at Upper School.
- Expect additional mandatory charges beyond tuition: textbooks/workbooks, international exam entry fees (if applicable), laboratory/subject fees for practical subjects, uniforms, and any transport or activity fees selected.

Summary of findings and gaps

- A branch contact card and school pages confirm that Lyceum Panadura uses term-based billing, maintains bookshops and uniform stores, does not operate boarding facilities, and manages fee-setting at branch level. Specific numeric per-grade, per-term tuition figures for the 2026/2027 academic year for Lyceum Panadura are not published as a single public fee table. The school issues term invoices and the branch Accounts/Admissions office supplies the official numeric fee schedule for each grade and academic year.
