Application fee

Each application must be accompanied by payment in full of the application fee. This fee is non-refundable, regardless of if a place is offered to the applicant, and is payable per application cycle. The fee depends upon the type of application you are submitting:

Day student application FEE (Kindergarten 1–Grade 11)

Boarding application FEE (Grade 8–11)

Dual campus application (to join either campus), payable per application cycle: S$841

If you are interested in a boarding placement at either the Dover or East Campus, but not both, you can indicate that in your application, however there is no single campus application fee rate.

Enrolment fee

A one-off enrolment fee of S$4,992 is payable to confirm acceptance of each offered day or boarding place. This fee is non-refundable.

Acceptance fees

To accept and confirm an offered place, we require full payment of the enrolment fee, plus the term fees, and boarding fees if applicable, for the school term in which the student will join the College.
