- Note on instalments: The Admissions Guide states that tuition fees are payable in 10 instalments; the instalment amounts above are the arithmetic result of dividing the published annual tuition by 10. The Admissions Guide directs parents to the Business Office for other payment options.

Per‑term amounts (approximate)

- The school publishes an academic calendar with semester/quarter dates. Public fee schedules show annual tuition figures; to produce a simple per‑term estimate divide the annual tuition by the number of academic terms. As an operational billing practice, YIS explicitly references a 10‑instalment tuition payment option rather than a fixed per‑term billing model. The annual figures above can be converted into approximate per‑term amounts by dividing by the number of terms; the instalment amounts shown above (annual ÷ 10) reflect the school's stated instalment billing arrangement.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is payable in 10 instalments; families should contact the Business Office for alternative payment arrangements or schedules. Capital Levy is billed as an annual levy and is non‑refundable.
- The school publishes an academic calendar with term/semester dates and uses that calendar for payment timing and other deadlines.

Boarding

- YIS operates as a day school; families are responsible for arranging transportation to and from school. No boarding programme or boarding fees are published.

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms and P.E. clothing are required and are sold separately through the YIS Eagle Store (uniform purchases are not included in school fee figures).
- Student supplies and recommended materials (water bottle, lunch box, backpack, headphones, notebooks, PE/swimming items and grade‑specific supplies) are additional costs; a Student Supply List is provided.
- A monthly meal plan is available from the school canteen as an optional cost; many families bring lunches instead.
- Transport (school bus) is arranged by families; transport fees are not listed in the Admissions Guide and may be offered or billed separately if the school provides shuttle services.

Refunds and cancellations

- The Capital Levy is stated as non‑refundable. The Admissions Guide does not publish a detailed tuition refund policy in the admission pack; parents should contact the Business Office for the school's formal refund and cancellation terms.

Fee payment options and electronic payment information

- YIS accepts electronic payments reconciled via local banks and mobile banking platforms; published payment instructions reference AYA Bank, KBZ, MAB and CB bank electronic/mobile payment methods and standard data entry fields (student ID, grade identifier, contact number) for reconciliation. The school's public payment guidance shows bank/mobile transfer as a supported electronic payment route.

Summary of what is published and where amounts come from

- The Admissions Guide (official YIS admission pack) specifies policy elements that affect fees: an annual Capital Levy (non‑refundable), tuition payable in 10 instalments, uniform purchased separately, optional canteen meal plans, and that families arrange transport.
- Specific annual tuition totals by grade and a published Capital Levy amount are available in public fee listings used by school‑directory sources; those annual figures and the instalment calculations above are taken from those published fee schedules.
