- Lunch fee (school lunches are additional): USD 2,700 per year.
- Enrollment (tuition) deposit: USD 5,000 (a confirmed enrolment deposit amount reported for the school). The school's published fee information states that the tuition deposit is non‑refundable and is applied against the tuition for the second half of the school year.

Per-term / billing breakdown and payment terms

- The school publishes annual tuition for each year group and states that the tuition deposit is applied against the tuition for the second half of the school year; the published wording indicates billing in two halves (first half and second half). The per-half (per term as a half‑year) amounts above are the annual amount divided by two to reflect that two‑half billing structure. The school requires payment of fees as part of the admissions process.

Boarding

- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school (published campus address and normal school hours are those of a day school).

Other variable or occasional costs

- Uniform: uniform items and requirements are published (polo shirts, chinos/skirts, PE kit, house t‑shirts, etc.); specific retail prices for uniform items are not published in the school's parent information.
- Co‑curricular activities (CCAs) and aftercare: the school operates CCAs and aftercare; some CCAs are paid and some are free — individual CCA fees are charged separately and are not listed in the school's published tuition summary.
- Any other incidental charges (exam fees, off‑site trips, specialist external lessons, extended hours, or specific program fees) may be charged in addition to the annual tuition; these are not itemised in the published 2026–2027 tuition summary.

Refunds and deposit policy

- The tuition/new‑student registration fee is published as non‑refundable, and the tuition deposit is described as non‑refundable and applied to the second half of the school year. No detailed, itemised public refund schedule for withdrawals, mid‑year leavers, or reimbursement conditions is published on the school's tuition summary page.

Fee payment options and practical notes

- The school notes use of TADS for financial‑aid applications. TADS is a tuition‑management provider that supports online payments including credit card and e‑check/ACH options. The school's published tuition summary does not itemise the complete list of accepted payment channels (for example, which credit card brands, whether checks are accepted, or whether a dedicated foreign‑payment vendor such as Flywire is used). Families should plan on making payments electronically under the school's billing procedures and expect to encounter standard school payment channels such as bank transfer (wire/ACH) or card via the school's billing/tuition platform.

Summary of what is published and where details are not itemised

- Published for 2026–2027: full annual tuition figures for every year group, application fee (USD 200), new student/registration fee (USD 2,650), lunch fee (USD 2,700), and an explicit statement that the tuition deposit is non‑refundable and applied to the second half of the school year.
- Not itemised in the school's public tuition summary: the precise amount stated by the school's own pages for the enrollment/deposit (the USD 5,000 figure appears in independent school directories), a full, detailed billing calendar (exact invoice dates and number of instalments), an itemised refund schedule for mid‑year withdrawal, and retail prices for uniform items. These items are not published in the school's tuition summary and therefore are not included in the fee figures above.
