Fees
Application and Admission Fees
- An admission/application fee is required to confirm a place once admission is approved; a caution deposit is also required from each student and is refundable after deducting any dues. Sibling admissions attract a waiver on admission fee and caution deposit (documented policies show either a full waiver or a 50% waiver in different published school documents).

Tuition (Composite) Fee — structure and what it covers
- Tuition is collected as a single Composite School Fee for the academic year. The Composite School Fee covers teaching, standard stationery kit provided once a year, labs and library, co‑curricular activities and sports, and related in‑school services. It does not include uniforms, textbooks, repeat stationery orders, certain off‑campus trips, external examination fees (Cambridge/IB), special external paid activities, individual tuition/support beyond prescribed programmes, pocket money, insurance, transportation, or certain specialised project costs. An annual IT fee is charged in addition to the Composite Fee. Pre‑term (April–July) participation requires payment equivalent to one instalment of the Composite Fee.

Tuition fees by year group (numeric amounts)
- Numeric tuition amounts per year group, and per term/quarter, are not published in the school's public fee documents. The school provides the precise fee schedule and year‑group amounts directly through the admissions/fee materials on request. Because the official public documents do not list specific rupee amounts by grade and term, numeric figures are not included here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Two payment options are offered: annual advance payment or payment in instalments. Instalment billing and due‑date information appears in the school's fee policy and admission documents; the instalment cycle is quarterly/semester based. Published instalment schedules include bill generation dates and due dates around June/September/December/March and corresponding quarter/semester payment deadlines. Parents are expected to pay the Composite Fee either annually or in the quarter/semester instalments specified by the school. Pre‑term fees and the annual IT fee are due with the first instalment where applicable. Late payment penalties apply as specified in school fee policy (see Late Fee section).

Late payment and notice obligations
- Late fees are charged for overdue instalments. The school's published policy sets an initial late‑fee charge and further daily penalties for continued delay; repeated default can lead to restrictions on access to school services and treatment of the case as withdrawal. When a student is withdrawn mid‑semester, the school requires written notice by specified deadlines; absence of timely notice may result in a Notice Period Fee (equivalent to two instalments of the Composite Fee) or being liable for the full quarter/semester fee. Refunds for pass‑outs/withdrawals are processed after adjusting dues and any applicable notice‑period charge.

Boarding and Transport Fees
- Boarding: Boarding (when offered/opted for) is charged in addition to the Composite Fee and is payable quarterly along with the Composite School Fee. Boarding students are required to maintain an imprest (amount communicated by the school). Lunch & snacks for day students are charged separately and are not part of the Composite Fee. Transport: Daily school transport is a separate charge; transport fees are payable semester/quarter wise along with the Composite Fee and must be updated by parents one quarter in advance for changes.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Uniforms are sold on campus by an external vendor and are not included in the Composite Fee. Textbooks, additional stationery beyond the yearly kit, annual camps, off‑campus trips, certain sports/annual day costumes, Model UN/OLYMPIADS/other external programmes, college‑application services, specialised project materials, pocket money, insurance and external examination fees (Cambridge/IB) are charged separately. English Support (ES) / Additional Learning Support (ALS) and remedial/support programme fees are charged as prescribed (often twice a year or semester‑wise). The school may also charge specific fees for certain optional activities or external events.

Refunds and deposits
- Caution deposit: refundable after adjusting outstanding dues; the deposit does not accrue interest. Refunds for pass‑outs/withdrawals are processed within a defined window (the school's published policy states refunds are processed within 60 days of exit after adjusting dues and any notice‑period fee). Separate policy statements also indicate that generally fees once paid are not refundable or adjustable; the school's admissions/fee documents set out the detailed withdrawal/notice/refund procedures and any exceptions.

Fee payment methods and charges
- Primary payment method is online via the school's payment link or through the school's IRP (institutional resource planning) system delivered by SMS/email. Cheque or demand draft payable to ‘Sancta Maria International School' is accepted. Payment by credit/debit card attracts additional charges as applicable. Parents can obtain fee receipts through their parent/IRP login.

Important administrative notes (policy highlights)
- Yearly fee increases of up to specified percentages may be applied and grade‑specific increases may also occur.
- Sibling concessions are published (documented statements differ between published school documents regarding the exact waiver amount).
- External exam fees (IB/Cambridge) and other board fees are charged separately and must be cleared before exam registration.
- Failure to clear fees may lead to administrative actions including suspension of access to services and possible withdrawal procedures.

Brief summary of what was found and remaining gap
- The school's public fee and admission documents fully describe fee components, billing cycles, payment methods, penalties, deposit/refund mechanics and which services are included or excluded from the Composite Fee. However, specific numeric tuition amounts by grade/year and explicit per‑term/per‑grade rupee figures are not published in the school's publicly posted fee documents; the school provides the detailed numeric fee schedule directly to applicants through admissions materials. Because numeric per‑grade fees are not publicly listed in the school's official fee documents, no rupee amounts are included above.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Online application and enrollment documents. All parents fill the online application form and sign the enrollment contract, then submit the listed forms and documents before meeting the Head of Admissions. Required materials include the Admission Application Form, Health Form, Transport Form (if applicable), Consent Form, and FRRO form for international students, along with copies of the student's birth certificate, passport, PIO/OCI, two passport‑size photos of the student, one photo of each parent, past scholastic records for at least two years, immunization card, proof of residence, PAN card, and the Transfer Certificate from the previous school. The submission of these materials helps establish eligibility and program fit.

2. Interaction with Head of Admissions, tour, and admission kit. The admissions team explains the admission process, eligibility criteria, and the school's programs and facilities. A whole‑school tour is provided to give a sense of tangible facilities and experiences for students. An Admission Kit containing the School Brochure, Curriculum Handout, and Fee Structure is provided. Applications for IB PYP, Cambridge, and IBDP are received by the admissions department.

3. Review by the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee carefully reviews previous scholastic records to understand the applicant's curriculum, work ethic, and fit with the IB and Cambridge programs. Readiness to meet grade‑level expectations is assessed, along with how the applicant might benefit from Sancta Maria's offerings. An IB background can be an advantage but is not a prerequisite.

4. Admission criteria and grade placement. Applicants are evaluated against the school's admission criteria, including motivation, academic competence, conduct, and international‑mindedness. Age criteria determine grade placement, with students generally placed by age as of August 1; if there is a mismatch, readiness is considered. The National Education Policy 2020 age guidelines are observed for grade placement.

5. Grade‑specific requirements and consideration of special needs. In Early Years, applicants and parents are invited for interactions to assess milestones for the intended grade. In PYP Grades 2–5, interactions explore interests in academics, sports, and cultural programs. Grades 6–8 require a written Placement Assessment in English and Numeracy followed by an interview; Grades 9–12 require a placement in English, Numeracy, and another subject followed by an interview with the Programme Coordinator and Head of School. Assessments help determine subject choices, language needs, and appropriate support; documentation from recognized assessments may be sought when necessary.

6. Final decision and offer. Decisions related to new admissions and readmissions are made by the Admissions Committee, comprising the Head of School, Head of Admissions & Communications, and the respective Programme Coordinators.

7. Waiting list. If an applicant is accepted but no seat is available in the grade applied for, the applicant is placed on a waiting list and informed via email. Waitlisted students are offered seats as they become available. Waiting list order considers academic excellence, siblings already attending or applying, and existing gender balance.

8. Pre‑Term admissions. A Pre‑Term Session runs from April onward, offering an Immersion Program for two months to help students transition to the IB and Cambridge programs and bridge into the new academic year in August.

9. Program options. Sancta Maria offers three international programmes: IB PYP, Cambridge, and IBDP, and welcomes students from diverse backgrounds to engage with these curricula.

10. Age and eligibility overview. The Admissions process aligns with the school's inclusive philosophy, ensuring fair access while assessing each applicant's potential to thrive within the chosen programme.

Scholarships
Existing Sancta Maria students may receive scholarships based on merit for one academic year; scholarships may be withdrawn if the student's performance or behavior does not meet school expectations. For new applicants, Sancta Maria Scholarships aim to reward exceptional, highly motivated, and deserving students in the areas of academics, sports, or the arts, with awards applicable to students across grades from PYP to IBDP 2. Scholarships are awarded for one academic year and are subject to the school's ongoing assessment of the student's performance and conduct.

Waitlist
Waiting list: If an applicant is accepted but no seat is available in the grade applied for, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list and the parents will be informed via email. Waitlisted students will be offered a seat once a vacancy arises. The waiting list order is determined by: academic excellence displayed by the student; whether siblings are already attending, accepted, or applying to the school; and the existing gender balance of the class.
