Fees
Application and testing fee - Application and testing (processing) fee: PHP 7,500.
One‑time fees and deposits (payable on acceptance) - School Development Fee (one‑time, non‑refundable): PHP 135,000 (SSM). - Slot Reservation / Enrollment Deposit (deductible from tuition upon enrolment): PHP 50,000. - School Deposit (one‑time; refundable without interest when the student graduates or withdraws): PHP 50,000.
Tuition fees by year group (SSM) - The school does not publish a public, campus‑wide tuition table for Singapore School Manila; tuition, materials and examination fees for SSM are stated to be available only on request. No per‑year / per‑term tuition schedule for the Manila campus is publicly posted.
- For context only (affiliated campuses): Singapore School Green Campus and Singapore School Clark publish full yearly and trimestral tuition schedules and materials fees; those published examples show a structure with yearly tuition by level and an option to pay in three terms (trimestral) or full‑year payments with discounts, and separate materials fees that cover books, uniforms and some activities. These affiliated campus schedules are not the SSM (Aseana City) published tuition but illustrate the group's typical fee structure: Preschool through Upper Secondary yearly tuition figures and trimestral instalments are listed in the Green Campus and Clark brochures.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The academic year is organised in three terms each year; the school publishes enrolment and term start dates for upcoming school years (three terms with term tests, short term breaks and Parent‑Teacher Conferences as scheduled). Specific term start and break dates are published in the school calendar. - On acceptance the School Development Fee and Reservation/Enrollment Fee must be settled. The Slot Reservation / Enrollment Deposit is deducted from tuition when the student is enrolled. The School Development Fee is one‑time and non‑refundable. The School Deposit is refundable without interest on graduation or withdrawal. - Some group campuses operate with the following commercial terms (examples from affiliate campus brochures): full‑payment discounts (e.g., 10% off tuition for full‑year payment) and a smaller discount for trimestral payments (e.g., 5% on tuition); late payment penalties (example: PHP 5,000 per month shown in an affiliate campus brochure); materials fees are required to be paid in full before the start of class. These terms are published for affiliated campuses and reflect typical payment practices within the school group, but the exact SSM (Manila) billing discounts, late penalties, and instalment discounts are not publicly listed for the Manila campus.
Boarding fees - The school is listed in international directories and the IB profile as having boarding facilities; however, no public boarding fee schedule for Singapore School Manila was found. Published boarding fees (per term or per year) are not available in the public sources located.
Other costs and typical inclusions - Materials / curriculum / examination fees: these are treated separately from tuition and are stated as “available upon request” for the Manila campus. Affiliate campus materials fees (where published) are itemised in two components: a USD component (for some international materials/exam charges) and a PHP component (local materials), and are described as covering books, school materials, uniforms, field trips and selected activities. These affiliate‑campus material charges may provide an indication of likely additional costs but are not a substitute for SSM Manila's own published figures (which are not publicly posted). - Uniform costs are normally included in the materials fee in the group's published brochures for affiliated campuses. Exact uniform pricing for Singapore School Manila is not publicly posted.
Refund information - The schools (SSM, SSCL and SSMGC) are stated to operate a NO‑REFUND POLICY for certain fees; separately, the School Deposit is explicitly described as refundable without interest when a student graduates or withdraws. The School Development Fee is defined as one‑time and non‑refundable. These two statements coexist in the published admissions material for the school group.
Fee payment options - Published payment channels for affiliate campuses typically require bank payment or cheque to the school's bank accounts; cash payments are discouraged and a “no cash” policy is indicated in some campus brochures. Credit card acceptance is not publicly specified in the materials reviewed for the Manila campus; the group's campus brochures emphasise bank transfers/cheques as standard. Exact accepted payment methods for SSM Manila (including any credit card or online payment options) are not posted in the public documents located.
