Fees
Application / Registration Fee

- UK Academy – Binh Thanh Campus charges an application / registration fee as part of the enrolment process. Exact amount for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year is not published in a publicly accessible fee schedule for the Binh Thanh campus.

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

- A campus-specific numeric fee schedule for UK Academy – Binh Thanh (showing amounts per year group or per term) is not publicly posted for the 2026/27 academic year; therefore precise per-grade and per-term figures for Binh Thanh cannot be listed here.

- The UK Academy system publishes campus-level fee schedules for some campuses; those schedules show that the school groups fees by level (Kindergarten, Primary Years, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary) and commonly present options for paying annually, by semester or by instalments. This indicates that Binh Thanh follows the same fee structure categories even though its specific numeric schedule is not publicly available.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Standard billing options across the UK Academy system include payment in full for the academic year, payment by semester or payment in instalments. The system advertises an instalment program with 0% interest for 6, 9 or 12 month plans for parents at the Bình Thạnh primary campus offering such a program for 2025–2026. Exact billing dates, due dates and any early-payment discounts for Binh Thanh are not published.

Boarding / Day status

- The Binh Thanh campus is presented as an urban inter-level campus (Primary to High School) with standard day-school operations. There is no public listing of boarding (nội trú) for the Binh Thanh campus. Boarding and residential services are available at some other UKA campuses (for example, the Ba Ria campus lists boarding services).

Other costs and typical additional fees

- The following additional fees are regularly charged across UK Academy campuses; specific amounts for Binh Thanh are not publicly listed but these categories apply:
- Facilities / infrastructure fee (one‑off or annual).

Refunds and cancellation

- A campus-level refund policy (for application/registration fees, pre-paid tuition or other fees) is not publicly available for the Binh Thanh campus. Where published system or campus financial policies exist for other UKA campuses, they commonly treat certain enrolment fees as non-refundable and detail specific conditions for pro‑rated refunds when a student withdraws mid-term; however, Binh Thanh's explicit refund terms and the exact conditions or percentages (if any) are not posted publicly.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)

- The UK Academy system lists contact and admissions channels for each campus and offers flexible financial arrangements (including instalment plans). Typical accepted payment channels across similar private schools include bank transfer and in‑person payments; UKA advertises installment payment arrangements for parents. Binh Thanh's published pages do not list a definitive menu of accepted payment methods (for example, which card networks or online payment gateways are accepted).

Scholarships and discounts
