Fees & Scholarships

All fees are in Thai Baht and are subject to change

Application Fee: 10,000 THB

The application fee is a one-time non – refundable payment per child. This payment must be submitted at the same time that the application is made. Submitting an application to the school does not guarantee a space for a student. If there is no immediate vacancy the student will be placed on the waiting list and enrolled as soon as possible.

Registration Fee: 50,000 THB

The registration fee is a one-time fee for students who register for a year non – refundable fee. It is to be paid by new students once they have been accepted for entry to the school.

Registration Fee: 30,000 THB (1 term only)

The registration fee is a one-time for students who register for 1 term non – refundable fee. It is to be paid by new students once they have been accepted for entry to the school.

Refundable Deposit: 40,000 THB

A one-time refundable deposit is payable for each child and will be invoiced together with the tuition fees prior to the student’s first term. The conditions of refund are as follows:

Upon the student’s graduation (completion of IBDP) from the school; or
When one full term’s advance written notice is received before the child leaves; or
When school requires the applicant’s departure for reasons other than disciplinary; and
All outstanding fees or charges have been paid.

Notice of Leaving and Refunds

One full term’s notice, in writing to the principal, is required for any student leaving the school. Notice must be received by the first day of the term where the student is leaving the school at the end of that term. Where less than one full term’s notice is provided, the deposit will be forfeited in lieu of sufficient notice. No refund will be given for students leaving before the end of term, unless one full term’s notice has been provided.

Tuition Fees

The current per term fee structure is provided overleaf. Fees are payable for all students per term in advance. Unless otherwise agreed, payment must be made by the due date stated on the invoice. *families who choose to pay the entire year’s tuition in one instalment receive a 5% discount

Late Payment

A late payment fee of 1.5% per month of any overdue balance will be charged. Fees are asked to be paid by the date indicated. Deadlines may be extended where the latest allowed time for payment will be one week into the beginning of the term. Afterwards, additional interest will be charged per day, at a monthly rate of 1.5%.

Sibling Discount

Parents with more than one child in the school will be given a discount on the tuition fees as follows: First child will pay full tuition. For the 2nd and 3rd child will receive a 10% discount each term.

Recommendation Incentive

Families who recommend other families who join our school with students in Toddler, EYP 1, or EYP 2 and PYP 1 will receive a one-time referral payment of 10,000 THB.
Families who recommend other families who join our school with students in PYP 2 or above will receive a one-time referral payment of 20,000 THB.

Annual Insurance

The student annual insurance fee is included in the first term’s tuition fees.

Additional Expenses

The cost of the uniforms, personal individual tuition, extra-curricular activities (ECAs), compulsory class trips, additional stationery and transport are not included in the above fees.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Fee

EAL support will be provided to those students who, in the school judgement, require additional English language support in the classroom. The goal of the EAL program is to help students acquire sufficient competence in English to succeed in their studies at a level comparable to those of their non-EAL peers. If the school considers that your child requires EAL provision then inclusion in the EAL programme is compulsory and parents must pay the required fees if the student wishes to remain at the school.

Other Considerations

In being fair to our families, we will follow the following procedures for payment and cases of withdrawal from school. Parents must abide by a payment agreement signed on Registration. Please note below.

Payment Procedure

1st Notice: Silver Fern will send an invoice for tuition payment one month before the beginning of term. It will be clearly marked on our academic calendar.
2nd Notice: Parents will receive an email to remind them of the payment due date 2 weeks before.
3rd Notice: On the day payment is due, those who have not paid will receive an emailed letter reminder with invoice.
4th Notice: Two weeks after payment is due, parents will receive an emailed letter and invoice.
5th Notice: On the day before the term is to begin, families who have not yet paid tuition will receive an emailed reminder letter and invoice.
6th Notice: An emailed letter and invoice will be sent on the first day of the second week of school reminding families that interest charges of 1.5% per month calculated on a daily rate will be applied to the outstanding balance.
7th Notice: A letter and invoice will be sent on the last day of the second week, reminding the family that interest has been charged and that they will be given an additional two weeks to make payment.
Final Notice: A final letter and invoice will be sent on the last day of the fourth week reminding the family that interest has been charged and that they will be given one additional week to make payment where additional interest will apply. If payment cannot be settled by the last day of the following week, the family will have to withdraw their child(ren) from school with a letter of notification of withdrawal.

Deposit and Fee Refunds

Fee refunds for consumables such as meals and stationary fees are always refunded on a per use basis. Deposits are refunded ONLY with one full term of notice prior to withdrawal when the child is still attending classes for a full term. In the case of the new school year, parents must notify the school before the first tuition is due or the deposit is forfeit.

Tuition Refunds

In the event that a student withdraws from school:

If notice of withdrawal is given within the first 2 weeks after payment is due, the student will be eligible for a 50% refund of tuition.
If notice of withdrawal is given more than 2 weeks after payment is due but before the first day of school, the student will be eligible for a 25% refund of tuition.
Beginning the first day of school, there are no refunds of tuition.
