Fees
Annual tuition at Raffles Kidz International - Yio Chu Kang ranges from SGD 18,600 to SGD 19,800 for 2026/27.
Application / Registration Fees and Deposits - Admission requires a deposit equivalent to one month of school fees, payment of one-month advanced school fee, and a registration fee; specific registration fee amounts are not published by the centre.
Tuition fees (by programme / age group) — quoted amounts are monthly and are before GST - Programme options: Pre-Nursery (18–30 months), Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2. - Yio Chu Kang centre monthly tuition (before GST): - Early Dismissal programme (7:00am–5:30pm): SGD 1,550 per month. - Full Day programme (7:00am–7:00pm): SGD 1,650 per month. - Annual equivalents (simple monthly x 12): - Early Dismissal: SGD 18,600 per year (SGD 1,550 x 12). - Full Day: SGD 19,800 per year (SGD 1,650 x 12). - Per-term presentation (calculated inference): the centre publishes fees as monthly amounts rather than per-term. If the academic year is structured into three terms (the centre references Term 3 in its curriculum descriptions), a standard way to derive a per-term figure is to multiply the monthly fee by four months. Using that inference: - Early Dismissal: approximately SGD 6,200 per term (SGD 1,550 x 4). (This is a calculated estimate based on the centre monthly figure and a three-term academic year; the centre quotes monthly fees.) - Full Day: approximately SGD 6,600 per term (SGD 1,650 x 4). (Calculated estimate.)
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is quoted and published as a monthly amount (figures shown are before GST).
