FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

  • When do I need to pay my child’s fees?
    Our tuition fees are billed in advance of each trimester. Tuition fees for day students can be paid annually, by trimester (15th June, 30th November and 28th February), or monthly (incurring a 3% surcharge). Tuition fees for boarding students can be paid either annually or twice per year (15th June and 30th November).
  • Are meals included in my child’s school fees?
    No, meals are charged separately for day students. Children in grades 10 and above also have the option of bringing in a packed lunch from home.
  • Are extracurricular activities, visits, and trips included in the school fees?
    Mandatory activities (such as trips for all students) are charged in addition to our tuition fees. The cost varies depending on your child’s year of study. Optional extracurricular and after-school activities, such as private tuition, also incur additional fees.
  • Why can’t there be one single fee for everything?
    Your child is unique, which means their needs and interests differ to every other student in our school.

    As a prestigious private school, we pride ourselves on treating each child as an individual, offering an experience that’s tailored to them, their talents and aspirations. This may be related to the curriculum they follow, the extracurricular activities and sports they excel at, or the language support they need. As a result, every experience is priced individually – a bespoke educational package designed for your child, without the extras they don’t need.

    On request, our admissions team will happily prepare a personal summary of fees for your child.
