APPLICATION FEE
US$ 150 non- refundable fee is payable when lodging an application for admission. Applications will not be processed unless this payment has been received.

REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT
A US$ 500 deposit is payable for each student as soon as the admission of the child is confirmed by the school. A separate invoice will be issued when the offer of a place is made. Payment within 7 days of receipt of this invoice is required to accept the offer and confirm the place. This deposit will be refunded when the student leaves the school provided the required 30 days notice of withdrawal is received in writing and all textbooks and other such equipment are returned to the school. The deposit is also forfeited if the student’s application is withdrawn from school after a confirmation of place has been issued.

SCHOOL FEES

School Fees are fully inclusive of the cost of books, stationery, minor excursions, residential trips and the external fees for KS2, KS3, GCSE/IGCSE and IB examinations. Fees for other external examinations such as music, and the cost of any air travel relating to excursions will be an additional charge. Students participating in sport activities will also be charged with the direct cost of any travel or accommodation.

A 5% charge will be made if the required payment has not been received within 14 days of the beginning of the school term. If the school fees are not paid by half term, the service may be withdrawn.

In addition to school fees, Capital Levy Contribution payments are required. For details see over page.

BUS SERVICE FEES (fully inclusive of door-to-door chaperone service)

• One way journey    US$ 1,320 per year
• Return journey       US$ 2,640 per year

A separate invoice for half of the annual fee will be issued for all students registered for the bus service on 15 August 2011. The second invoice will be sent in January 2012. If payment is not received by half term in Term 1 and 2 respectively, the bus service will be withdrawn. Parents of students attending Years 11 or 13 will receive an examination credit in the second invoice of US$200 (return journey) or US$100 (one way journey) due to the reduced availability of the service in May and June 2012.

A pro-rata charge will be calculated for any students who start the bus service after the beginning of term.

Other than for exceptional circumstances, no refund is made after the commencement of service in a particular term. 

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE

When a pupil enters our IB years 12 or 13, the school expects a commitment for the full year, so invoices are issued on an annual fee basis. Other than for exceptional circumstances, subject to the approval of the Principal, there are no refunds of annual fees after a student has started Year 12 or year 13.

REFUND POLICY-Foundation Stages to Key Stage Four

No refund of term fees will be made if the student has attended school at any time during the term. Where the student has not attended school in a particular term, prepaid school fees for those terms are refundable.

CAPITAL LEVY CONTRIBUTION (CLC)

It is the policy of the school that every student, except in Foundation Stages 1 and 2, must have a Capital Levy Contribution (CLC) purchased or nominated in their name for attendance in school. The certificate is not transferable to another student. The admission of a student will not take place unless covered by a CLC.

The BIS Foundation offers two choices of CLC issues:

• A four-year CLC which is priced at US$ 10,000.
  This issue is refundable, less amortisation, when the student leaves the School.
  The issue date of the 4-year CLC will be from the beginning of the term in which the student joins the school. Amortisation is calculated as 1/12th of the initial value per term or part term of use, starting from the issue date.

• A one-year CLC which is priced at US$ 3,000.
  This issue is non-refundable and depreciates fully on its use for a year or part of year. The issue date will normally be the beginning of the school year in which the student joins the school. Students joining during terms 2 and 3 will be charged pro-rata, based on the number of full or partial half terms remaining in the school year.

EXPIRING CLC’s

Where a CLC expires and the student it covers wishes to remain in the school, a new CLC must be purchased.
Those who have held a four-year CLC but wish to purchase a one-year CLC on its expiry may do so, but at the price that is current at the time of issue of the new CLC.
