Fees
Application fee - A non-refundable application fee is required at the time of application; parents complete an application/enrolment form and pay the application fee at the admissions office.
Tuition fees by year group (amounts) - The school lists grade levels from Lower KG through Year 13 and charges term-based tuition, but specific monetary amounts for tuition by year group or per term are not published in the school's publicly available materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. No per-term or per-year fee schedule or numeric tuition table is provided in accessible public pages.
Tuition billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed by term. The school publishes term-fee deadlines and issues reminders for the last day to pay each term's fee; a late charge is applied when term fees are not paid by the published deadline. Specific dates for term fee deadlines are posted as term events (for example, reminders and due dates for first and second term fees). The school requires payment by the published due date for each term.
Boarding fees - Boarding is not available; the school operates as a day school and therefore does not charge boarding or residential fees.
Other costs and typical additional fees - Uniform: A school uniform is required. The school community enforces a uniform code and parents should expect costs for official school uniform items. - External examination fees: The school offers Cambridge IGCSE and A-level pathways in upper secondary; students enrolled in IGCSE/A-level subjects are subject to Cambridge examination entry fees and related assessment costs, which are typically charged in addition to tuition. Specific Cambridge exam fee amounts are not published on the school's public pages. - Incidental/optional costs: Standard additional charges that parents commonly expect (not separately itemised on public pages) include stationery and learning materials, school trips and excursions, extracurricular activity fees, printing and photocopying, and special-event or year-group charges. The school's publicly available materials do not list fixed amounts for these items.
Refund information - The application fee is explicitly non-refundable. No comprehensive refund policy or published conditions for tuition refunds (for mid-term withdrawals, visa issues, or other circumstances) is listed in the school's publicly accessible admissions or events information.
Fee payment options - The school's publicly available pages do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, local bank deposit, cash, or credit card). Parents should plan for standard institutional payment methods used locally, but no payment-type details or online-payment instructions are published in the school's accessible materials.
Financial support and scholarships - The school operates as a social enterprise and provides full and partial scholarships to disadvantaged students (primarily girls who are orphans or street children); scholarship applications and processes are available through the school's admissions/support channels. Scholarship awards reduce or waive tuition for qualifying students.
Availability of numeric fee figures (important note) - Numeric values for application fees, per-term tuition by year group, boarding fees, uniform costs, exam-entry fees, and any scheduled annual increases were not published in the school's publicly accessible materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The school confirms the existence of term billing, application fees, uniform requirements, Cambridge examinations, and scholarship provision, but it does not provide a public, itemised fee schedule with currency amounts on its available admission and events pages.
Summary for parents (actionable points) - Expect a non-refundable application fee at application submission. - Expect term-based tuition billed at least three times a year (term schedule) with published deadlines and late charges if fees are not paid by the due date. - There are no boarding fees because boarding is not offered. - Expect additional charges for school uniform, Cambridge exam entries (IGCSE/A-level), trips, and extracurricular activities; specific monetary amounts are not published.
(Brief note on availability: public pages reviewed confirm the fee types and billing cadence above but do not publish numeric fee amounts or a downloadable fee schedule; the application fee is stated as non-refundable.)
