Tuition fees (billing by term) and year-group structure - Tuition is charged as term fees. Term fees are payable in advance and form the primary tuition charge for each student.

Non-payment of fees by the end of the third month will result in immediate termination of studentship at the end of that term. Parents are required to give a full term's written notice before withdrawal; failure to provide such notice makes the parent liable for the next term's fees, and withholding of leaving certificates/report cards may apply until accounts are cleared. Invoices and other payment communications are sent to the nominated primary contact.
Lyceum Guardian (fee coverage option) - A Lyceum Guardian enrolment option exists that provides term-fee coverage for students in Grade 01 and above enrolling on or after the 2026/2027 academic year; optional add-on coverage can include textbooks/workbooks, uniforms, and international examination fees.
