IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Payment Dates
    Families can pay their fees annually or in two instalments. Please note, payment should be received within 30 days of the tuition invoice being issued.

    Students can only attend school if their fees have been paid. Overdue payments will incur a penalty of 5% on the outstanding amount due.

    If a student enrols after 1st October, their tuition fee will be charged by prorated school days, but with a minimum of 10% of the annual fee. For students enrolled after 30th December, the tuition should be paid in one full payment. 

  • Making a payment

    Payment can be made via electronic bank transfer or debit card. We also accept cash payments; however, these can only be made in Chinese currency (RMB). Credit cards are not accepted. 

    If you choose to transfer the money electronically, a copy of the bank remittance, together with the child’s name and year group, should be sent to our office. Conversion from USD to RMB will be based on the selling exchange rate on the first working day of the month the invoice was issued, as published by the Bank of China.
