Payment guidelines and a due date will appear on the invoice. This invoice must be settled in full by the due date as stated on the invoice to secure your child’s place.

Invigilation fees and related courier charges for entry assessments for other schools, are in addition to the tuition fees quoted above and are payable to DESS by the parent/guardian. Any enquiries regarding external tests, on behalf of another school, contact our Registrar.
The school year is divided into three terms and the annual Tuition Fee is payable per term in three equal instalments. There are no reductions for absence, illness or withdrawal for any other reason. Fees are reviewed annually and subject to increases.
