Should a student have three or more younger siblings also enrolled, that student will receive a 40% discount on the tuition fee.

Early Withdrawal: Written notice of intent to withdraw during the corresponding academic year must be submitted to the Admissions Office 90 days before withdrawal. Failure to provide written notice by the deadline will result in the full-term fees becoming due and payable, regardless of attendance.
Boarding Facilities: Boarding services encompass accommodation and laundry services for clothing and bed linen, as well as transportation (boarding-school-boarding) and all meals. Please note that holidays (Christmas, Easter, July, and August) are not covered in this provision. Additional invoices will be issued if the student continues to reside in the boarding facilities beyond the specified holiday period. These invoices will be calculated proportionally based on the annual fee structure.

Prime School also retains the right to exclude students whose parents or guardians do not meet their payment obligations or contracted services. In the event of a student's withdrawal without 90 days' prior notice, the parent is liable for the subsequent three months' fees. Please note that non-attendance will not lead to any reduction in tuition fees or other services.
