Other Fees

Application Fee

An application fee is payable for all applicants invited for assessment and is valid for one academic year. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable and must be settled prior to assessment.

• Kindergarten (Reception 1 and 2): $1,000
• Pre-Grade 1 - Grade 12: $1,500

While ICS strives to offer an admission assessment to most applicants, due to limited availability of seats, assessment is not guaranteed.

Reservation Deposit

The Reservation Deposit confirms enrollment of a new student. The amount will be credited against the student's first tuition installment.

The fee will be forfeited if for any reason after accepting a place at ICS the applicant decides not to attend.

Additional Notes

• The tuition fee excludes costs including but not limited to items such as book deposit, graduation fee, extracurricular activities, band instrumental rental, uniforms, school bus, and meals.
• Withdrawal - The school requires TWO full calendar months’ written notice of withdrawal or TWO full calendar months’ tuition if the notice period is less than this. Summer holiday does not count towards the notice period.
• Student Services - Students who receive services, including but not limited to English as an Additional Language (EAL), Learning Support, and others, will be charged based on the individual needs of each student.
• If, after Confirmation of Enrollment, a new student does not attend ICS for a continuous period of 2 weeks without approval from the school, the child’s school place will be canceled.
