Fees
Application fees
- No separate, consistently published application or entrance-testing fee for the RDFZ Xishan School AP Program is publicly listed in the school's AP program materials and recent admissions summaries.
Tuition fees (AP Program: Grades 10–12)
- Annual tuition (AP Program): RMB 120,000 per year. - Per-term/semester breakdown (where the program is charged by semester): RMB 60,000 per semester. - Fee structure by year group: the AP Program fee is published as a single program tuition for the AP cohort (Grades 10–12); the same published figure applies to the AP-year groups.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing cadence used in public materials and admissions notices is annual or semester-based for the AP Program; families typically see the tuition amount presented as an annual figure and commonly as two equal semester amounts (RMB 60,000 per semester when billed by term). Payment deadlines and late-payment penalties are not published in the AP program summaries.
Boarding / accommodation fees (if applicable)
- Accommodation availability: the AP Program can provide boarding as an option for students. Specific boarding arrangements and whether boarding is compulsory/optional are described as available in admissions summaries. - Boarding rates: no specific, consistently published boarding fee for RDFZ Xishan AP students (RMB amount per term or year) was located in the AP program materials or recent public admissions summaries.
Other costs and fees
- Items explicitly listed as not included in the published tuition figure: textbooks and learning materials; international exam fees (AP exam fees); daily living costs (meals, personal expenses); school uniform(s); school-provided extracurricular trips and paid activities; university guidance/consulting packages where offered as separate services. Families should expect these categories as additional costs beyond the published AP tuition. - Typical additional charges that have been cited across admissions summaries for comparable AP/international programs (may apply): AP examination fees per subject, textbook or course-material fees, insurance, optional shuttle or boarding meal plans, field trips or overseas study tours. Specific amounts for these items are not provided in the AP tuition listing.
Refund information
- No specific, publicly published refund or withdrawal-and-refund policy for RDFZ Xishan School AP Program tuition or deposits was found in the AP program materials or recent admissions summaries; families should note that no standard refund schedule for AP tuition/deposits is included in the program summaries available in public admissions notices.
Fee payment options
- The AP program and school admissions materials present tuition as payable in annual or semester installments, but specific accepted payment channels (for example: bank transfer, school online payment portal, Alipay/WeChat, credit card) are not listed in the AP program summaries available publicly. Therefore no definitive list of accepted payment methods for the AP Program is published in the AP admissions materials.
Short summary of gaps found (brief)
- Publicly available AP program and admissions materials for RDFZ Xishan consistently publish the AP tuition figure as RMB 120,000 per year (commonly presented or interpreted as RMB 60,000 per semester). However, the AP program materials and admissions summaries do not publish a separate application fee amount, specific boarding-rate amounts, detailed payment-method instructions, exact payment deadlines and penalties, or a formal refund/withdrawal schedule in the public summaries reviewed. Where precise per-item amounts or formal policies are required (application fee, boarding fees, payment methods, refund terms), those items were not located in the program's publicly available admissions summaries.
