How to pay

Three ways to settle a term's fees

Whichever you use, quote your child's full name and class as the reference, and always collect a receipt.

  • Bank transfer

    Transfer to the school account and quote your child's full name and class as the reference. Bring or send the transfer advice so we can receipt it the same day.

    [Bank name, branch, account name and number — to be supplied]

  • Mobile Money

    MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money are all accepted. Use your child's full name as the reference, and keep the confirmation message until you have a receipt.

    [MoMo merchant ID / numbers for MTN, Telecel and AT — to be supplied]

  • In person at the accounts window

    Cash or card at the front office, Monday to Friday 7:30am to 3:30pm and Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm. A printed receipt is issued immediately.

Fee policies

  • When fees are due

    In full by the end of the second week of term. The exact date for each term is on the academic calendar and in the term-opening letter.

  • Paying in instalments

    We agree instalment plans with any family who asks, in writing, before the term starts. Come and see the bursar — this is a normal conversation, not an awkward one.

  • Siblings

    A 10% discount on tuition applies to the third and each subsequent child enrolled at the same time.

  • New pupils joining mid-term

    Tuition is charged pro rata by week from the date of admission. The one-off admission fee is charged in full.

  • Withdrawals

    One full term's notice in writing, or one term's fees in lieu. The admission fee is not refundable.

  • Receipts

    Always collect a receipt, whatever the payment method. A transfer without a receipt is not evidence of payment against a pupil's account.

If money is tight this term

Come and see the bursar before the term starts, not after the reminders. We agree instalment plans routinely, and no child is ever sent home from a lesson over fees. Contact the office.
