Refunds are issued by cheque. Canteen fees are non-refundable for the current month. Non-payment of fees may prevent release of records, reports and transcripts.

- Accepted payment methods: cash (Bangladeshi takas only) at the campus, account payee cheque, pay order, bank transfer, and an Auto Bills Pay (EFT) system for scheduled banks in Bangladesh. Online/credit-card payments are possible but must be arranged in advance with the school management before use. Cheques must clear before the payment is confirmed. Advance and recurring payments are supported via the Auto Bills Pay system. Invoices will show all applicable dues (tuition, additional support, canteen, late fees, etc.).

Other administrative points related to fees

- If fees are paid in double by mistake, the extra payment will be treated as an advance for the next quarter; no refund will be made for double payment. The school reserves the right to revise fees and fee policies. Changes to fee levels are communicated to parents before the start of an academic year and reflected in quarterly invoices. Parents requiring an extension should contact the Student Records office at least 15 days before the due date; extensions are at management discretion.
