Fee payment options

- Standard payment methods in the Gateway network and comparable Sri Lankan international schools include local bank transfer / bank deposit, in‑person payments at the accounts office, and online card payments via a payment gateway or group payment platform. Instalment arrangements through the school or partner banks are occasionally available; acceptance of credit/debit cards is commonly reported but exact payment channels for Ratmalana are not itemised publicly.

Practical summary for budgeting (example)

- For a child in a junior year (Years 1–5) budget approximately LKR 439,700 per term, or about LKR 1,319,100 per academic year for tuition, plus one‑time admission/registration in the LKR 100,000–200,000 range, uniform costs (~LKR 30,000–60,000), textbooks and miscellaneous annual costs, and transport if required. Higher years (IGCSE/A‑Level) will attract substantially higher per‑term tuition (roughly LKR 580,000+ per term).
