1) Fees Upon Admission 

These are paid by families upon first entering their children into SBS International Bangkok

Fee
Charge
 

Application Fee  – paid once and non-refundable

Placement Fee  – paid once 

This is paid to confirm a student’s place in the school. It must be paid within 7 days of accepting an offer. The fee is not refunded if a family subsequently does not take up the offer after the school is fully licensed.

Security Deposit (Bond) – paid once and refundable.

The bond is returned upon withdrawal of a student, providing all fees have been cleared and one term’s notice has been given. This bond goes some way to ensure that the burden of financial default does not impact in any way upon our service to other families. 

Providing all fees have been paid in full, the bond may be used to offset extra examination costs (eg. IGCSE/A Level)

6) Withdrawal from School and Refunds

The school requires one complete term’s notice of a student’s withdrawal from SBS International Bangkok. This notice may be given by email to the Registrar or by completion of the student withdrawal form (available from the school Registrar). Notice must be given on or before the first day of the term prior to the student leaving (i.e. at least one complete term’s notice). The school will acknowledge receipt of withdrawal notice within 3 school days and where adequate notice is given that acknowledgement will include information on how to claim a bond refund. 

Refund of the Security Deposit will be facilitated by the Registrar and Finance team when appropriate withdrawal notice is given. Any outstanding charges will be deducted from the bond and the balance refunded one month after the student’s last day of attendance or one month after submission of the bond refund form, whichever is later.

The school will publish payment dates for Tuition fees and withdrawal notice in due course.
