For this reason, specific amounts for application fees, term or annual tuition by year group, billing cycles, payment methods, refund policy text, and other routine fee items are not available in a published fee table.

Other costs and required items
- Health/accident insurance: The school requires valid health and/or accident insurance for each child and requests a copy of the child's passport and insurance coverage documentation for emergency use; this indicates families will incur the cost of maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for their child.
