Important School Fees and Payment Policies for Parents and Guardians
1. Admission Fees
Admission fees are only applicable to new students upon initial enrollment. Continuing students or those advancing to the next grade are not required to pay this fee again.
2. Caution Money
Caution Money is a one-time, refundable deposit payable at the time of enrollment. It will be refunded when the student withdraws, transfers, or completes their studies. This deposit may be applied toward any outstanding fees. Any remaining balance will be refunded to parents, while any balance due must be settled promptly by parents or guardians.
