1. Admissions Fee

The Admissions Fee is paid at the time of receiving an offer for admissions into the school and is non-refundable. Fee will only be applied if there is a possible vacancy for a student who meets the appropriate academic and English requirements, as stated in the ISHCMC admissions policy.

This fee covers the costs of administrative procedures necessary for processing student applications; including student interviews, English language testing (if required), reviewing academic history, placement in grades and classes, allocation of subjects and timetabling.

Any subsequent sibling will be given a 50% discount.
