These are teaching fees. Every child also pays the $1,000 annual capital fee, so the cheapest full year is $5,900. Paying for the whole year is the cheapest way: by semester and by term the year costs a little more, as the totals on each card show. That is what a returning family pays; a new family also pays the one-time $800 enrolment fee and a $30 uniform set. Due dates are listed under paying.
