*Please note that local students and non-local students pay different school fees since the education bureau only provides subsidies for local students

*Local Students

Students holding a Hong Kong Birth Certificate with a Hong Kong permanent resident status as “Established”, a Hong Kong Identity Card (except for conditional stay), or a valid travel document with a dependent visa endorsed by the Immigration Department are classified as “local students” and are therefore eligible for the government subsidy.

*Non-Local Students

‘Non-local Students’ are defined as those who require a student visa to study in Hong Kong. According to EDB policy, non-local students are not eligible for the government subsidy. Non-local students are required to pay a differential fee, which is composed of the regular school fee and an additional fee equal to the amount of government subsidy.

3. Other Fees

An Advance Payment (e.g. $6,000 per year) is collected every year to cover miscellaneous fees, including the Student Handbook, Life-wide Learning Camp fee, Enrichment Week and the cost of student activities incurred during the school year. When a student graduates or withdraws from the school, the remaining amount will be refunded to parents.

The Advance Payment is collected when students register for the next school year. This payment is usually collected in May/June.

*Please note that the advance payment is unlikely to be sufficient to cover the cost of overseas trips or activities.

4. Payment methods

School fees must be paid via Direct Debit between the fifth and the tenth day of each calendar month with the parents’ designated local bank account. A message containing the date of bank transfer will be sent to parents via the school online management system at the beginning of each month.

5. School Fee Remission
