The activity fee will be used for trips and excursions organised by boarding and teaching staff. Students are expected to participate in these events. Any fee remaining will be reflected in the following term's/year's 'top-up' fee.

Unpaid fees: If fees remain unpaid at the end of the second week of term, parents will receive a reminder note and students may be excluded from school unless arrangements have been made with the headteacher or head of administration. A 1.25% surcharge per month is then levied on all outstanding fees. A fee cheque presented should have cleared by this date and the paying-in slip sent to school in order to verify payment and the date of deposit in order to avoid surcharges being levied. This responsibility lies with the parents.

Examination fees: Students sitting Checkpoint, IGCSE, AS and A level examinations will be invoiced separately for these exams during term one. Fees for examinations are approximately US$22 for Checkpoint exams and US$60 per subject for IGCSE, AS and A levels. This cost includes registration, entry and postage and packing.

Enrolment fees: This fee is paid only by students when they first join the school and is a contribution to the school's future capital development:

  • First child US$100
  • Family enrolment (two or more children) US$175
  • Year 12 or Year 13 US$250

Refundable deposit: A refundable deposit is charged on entry to the school. This deposit will be refunded when the child leaves the school, provided that all fees are paid, school resources have been returned and no damage has been done to school resources or property.

  • Deposit per student US$150
  • Boarding deposit US$450

Withdrawal: Parents are reminded that it is a condition of enrolment that notice is given in writing to the headteacher or head of administration ONE TERM before the withdrawal of a student from the school (please note this includes the last term of Early Years and Primary). If written notice is not given a term's fees in lieu of notice must be paid.

No refund of fees or refundable deposits will be given should a student be suspended or excluded from school.

Payment: Payment may be made in US dollars or Tanzanian shillings (at the exchange rate that applies at the time of payment - please check with the school office). Payment should be made at Barclays Bank, Arusha using the special forms provided, not at the school.
