SCHOOL FEES
School fees are voted on every year at our General Assembly in November, based on recommendations from parent representatives who are also members of the Executive Council. The school fees are in SGD, inclusive of 7% GST for 2022, 8% for 2023 and 9% for 2024. Should GST increase during the run of the student contract, any resulting difference will automatically be added to the invoice.
