This credit will be applied each year during the duration of the enrollment of the student in the Upper School, provided the student has continuously attended the school since January 31, 2011.

The tuition fee for Grade 4 and above includes the technology fee ($1,500), the IBDP examination fee ($6,000), and IBDP text book fee in Grades 11-12 ($2,000).

Entry Fee

The entry fee of $12,500 is a ‘one time only’ fee for new students, is non-refundable and non-prorated. For students who leave the school and return within a two-year period, the entry fee will be waived.

Annual Capital Levy

Students admitted to CDNIS must either pay an annual capital levy or be covered by a debenture. The annual capital levy is a non-refundable fee of $38,000. The capital levy is used to meet the capital needs of the school such as the costs for the maintenance and development of the campus facilities, infrastructure and major equipment. Please note that the annual capital levy may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time.

Reservation Deposit

A reservation deposit of $80,000 is required for students enrolling in the school for the academic year 2023/2024. In order to secure a place, registration will only be completed after the school has received the reservation deposit and all outstanding tuition fees and other fees are settled.
