Application Fee: RMB 2,500
The application fee is only valid for the school year for which the application is submitted. This fee is payable when the student’s application is submitted and is required prior to evaluation by Admission Committee. The fee is non-refundable, and stands until replaced with the subsequent Schedule of Fees, and is therefore subject to change.

Enrollment Deposit: RMB 30,500
In order to secure a space for the upcoming school year, a non-refundable enrollment deposit will be applied to all returning students, due by April 1 of the year prior to the upcoming school year. For newly entering students, this deposit is due within 5 working days of an offer of acceptance being made. The deposit amount stands until replaced with the subsequent schedule of fees, and is therefore subject to change. This deposit will be credited towards tuition fees due, settled at the last installment payment (if paying by installment).

Tuition fees are used to support both the general operations of the school (General Fund) as well as the on-going re-investment in school facilities (Facilities Fund).

Tuition Fees are payable in two equal installments, due on June 1 and November 1. The non-refundable enrollment deposit will be netted from the November 1 installment (or netted from the June 1 payment, if full payment is made at that time).

Prepayment of tuition fees in full in advance of the period when they are due will result in a discount of 1% of the pre-paid amount (i.e. prepay of 1st and 2nd tuition installments by April 1 will grant a 1% discount on total tuition fees due less deposit, prepay of 2nd tuition installment before June 1 will grant a 1% discount on second tuition installment less deposit).

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Fee: RMB 10,000
This one-time, non-refundable fee will be charged to Elementary and Middle School students who, upon assessment, are enrolled in the EAL program. The fee is designated to support a portion of the cost of this program.

Transportation Fee:
The School provides optional un-subsidized bus service to and from school. The Transportation Fee applies to those students who register for the regular bus service. The fee is payable on a semester basis, due June 1 and November 1. Note: SAS is not obligated to provide service if the housing location is not within existing serviced routes.
