Fees

Application / Admission fees

- Admission (one-time, payable at offer/seat confirmation): INR 50,000.
- Refundable caution/security deposit (one-time): INR 50,000.

Tuition fees (per year / by programme)

- Public listings show an annual tuition figure of INR 65,000 for the IB/IB‑continuum day programme. This is presented as an annual amount rather than a per‑grade or per‑term breakdown.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Admission is confirmed only after payment of the required fees and submission of original documents; parents are required to pay fees when the Provisional Admission Letter is issued in order to complete final confirmation.
- Fee collection and invoicing are handled through the school's parent/ERP portal (ERP login is used by the school), which supports installment and scheduled billing workflows (annual, termly or instalments are managed via the portal). Payment gateway charges may apply to online card/netbanking payments.

Boarding fees

- Gateway International School, Padur operates as a day school; there are no published boarding facilities or boarding fees for this campus.

Other costs and recurring charges

- Typical additional charges commonly billed separately include: transport (school bus), textbooks and workbooks, uniforms, examination/board registration charges, laboratory or activity fees, co‑curricular/club fees and one‑time kit/joining charges. These items are usually invoiced as separate line items through the school's fee portal.

Refund information

- A refundable security/caution deposit is listed (INR 50,000). The published summaries available on public listings do not include a full, line‑by‑line refund or cancellation policy for tuition and admission fees; such terms are typically set out in the school's formal fee schedule and admission paperwork.

Fee payment options

- Fees are processed through the school's parent/ERP portal (ERP/MyClassboard). That portal and its integrated payment gateways commonly accept credit and debit cards, net‑banking, UPI and bank transfer/NEFT/RTGS; schools using the portal may also accept offline payment modes (cheque/DD/cash) depending on the campus configuration. Payment gateway convenience/processing charges are typically applied for card/netbanking transactions.

Brief note on available public details and missing line‑items

- Public listings and the school's mandatory disclosure page provide the one‑time admission charge, the refundable deposit and an annual tuition band figure, and indicate that a detailed fee schedule exists (the mandatory disclosure links to the school's full fee schedule document). The school's public pages do not publish a full grade‑by‑grade, per‑term numeric breakdown or a complete public refund policy in the material accessible here; those precise per‑grade/per‑term line items and the formal refund/cancellation wording appear only in the school's full fee schedule / admission documents issued via the school's fee portal or fee booklet.
