Our school fees

The Application Fee covers the administrative cost of the assessment our teachers will undertake with your child. With almost 1000 enquiries for school places each year, it also allows us to identify those parents who are most committed to sending their children to our school.

From the moment a parent first makes contact with the school to the point when we offer their child a place at the school should take no more than two weeks. It really depends on how quickly parents wish to apply.

Our aim is to make the process as straightforward and simple as possible for you, the parents. In the event that your company will be paying school fees, our Admissions Team and Finance Team will be happy to liaise directly with your company on financial matters, allowing you to concentrate on your child’s education and well-being.

Good international schools recruit foreign teachers from overseas, which is an expensive and time-consuming process. This recruitment process starts in January each year so that we can secure the best available teachers. A considerable early financial investment is made in the teaching staff and we need a measure of commitment from parents that their children will still be with us for next academic year. This is the purpose of the 90 days-notice for the deposit. We would ideally like 180 days notice before the withdrawal of a student, but have settled on 90 days as a compromise. The loss of this deposit is to offset the financial outlay made in recruiting additional staff for the coming academic year only to find that parents have withdrawn children with little or no notice. The use of a deposit in this way is standard and accepted practice in international schools around the world.
