Fees
Application fee - An application fee is required at the time of submitting an application for Oakridge International School Bengaluru.
Tuition fees (overview and published range) - Oakridge Bengaluru publishes an overall tuition range for intake enquires; the publicly shown range for annual tuition falls between INR 3.26 Lakhs and INR 13.03 Lakhs. - The school's published materials do not list a single publicly posted per-grade fee table on the brochure/handbook pages; tuition is therefore described by the school in terms of annual calculation, instalment schedule and category ranges rather than a single public per-grade list.
Tuition billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is calculated on an annual basis and is payable in advance in instalments. The school policy states tuition is payable in three instalments in advance. - Published fee-due dates for the academic year include: 1 May 2025, 1 September 2025, 1 January 2026 and 1 May 2026. Parents should expect specific due dates and instalment amounts to be communicated at admission. - Late-payment penalty: a late-fee charge of 2% applies starting one month after the due date. Consequences of non-payment include denial of external examination registration and withholding of the Transfer Certificate (TC) until dues are cleared. - Sibling and early-payment concessions: a sibling discount is applied (5% for the second child, 7% for the third child as specified) and a prompt-payment discount is published (4% discount on the total annual tuition if paid by the stated early-payment date).
One-time and application charges - The school requires one-time charges associated with admission processes (application charges and one-time admission/registration charges). The school's published handbook confirms application and registration steps and one‑time charges are part of admissions, though specific one-time amounts are set and communicated at the time of admission.
Boarding / hostel fees - Oakridge International School Bengaluru operates as a day school and does not provide on‑campus boarding accommodation at this campus; therefore there are no campus boarding/hostel fees for the Bengaluru day‑school intake.
Other costs and additional fees - The tuition covers academic instruction and a range of school academic and co‑curricular facilities; additional charges are levied separately as applicable. Typical additional charges explicitly noted by the school include: - Educational / outstation trip costs (charged as per actuals). - Learning support (for students with additional needs) charged according to individual requirements. - Registration fees for external competitions and external/IB assessment charges (charged as per actuals). - The campus provides transport and meal/canteen services; transport, books, uniforms, consumables and meal plans are handled and charged separately as applicable to the family's choices. Parents should budget separately for transport, uniforms, textbooks and other consumables.
Refund and withdrawal rules - Withdrawal notice: a two‑month prior written notice is required from a regular student to process a Transfer Certificate (TC). - Refund rules: fees paid for a term are non‑refundable. If a newly enrolled student withdraws before joining, no refund is provided. These refund and non‑refund rules are stated in the school fee policy.
Fee-payment methods and transaction details - Accepted payment methods listed in the school handbook include direct debit, credit card and cash (cash payments limited to amounts up to INR 2,00,000). The school also provides online payment facilities for admission fees. - The handbook notes that tuition is payable in advance and that mid‑term joining fees are calculated pro rata based on month of joining; specific mid‑term amounts are provided by the school accounts team.
Annual increases and adjustments - The school's published policy describes typical annual fee increases in the range of approximately 10–12% year‑on‑year and states any government-imposed service taxes would be passed on to parents.
Summary of availability of per‑grade figures - The school's publicly available brochure/handbook sets out fee policy, instalment schedules, discounts, penalties and the range within which annual tuition typically sits, but it does not publish a complete, itemised per‑grade fee table in the brochure pages accessible for the current academic year. Specific grade‑wise instalment and annual figures are provided by the school's admissions/accounts team during the application/enrolment process.
