OUR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FEES EXPLAINED

Our fees are designed to be as inclusive as possible. At Dalian American International School, tuition fees not only cover your child’s academic teaching and learning, but also include many extra-curricular activities, such as our Soccer Club and Sea Dragon Choir, as well as exclusive global collaborations through Nord Anglia Education.

 

To enroll your child, you’ll need to pay three main fees: a non-refundable application fee, an enrolment deposit to secure a place upon acceptance, and your child’s tuition fees. You can find full details below.

 

We strive to make our international school fee payment and admissions processes straightforward. If you have any questions, please get in touch with our expert team at any time.

You can pay your child’s tuition fees in one, two, or three installments. The two and three payment plans include a handling fee of 3% and 5% respectively. The one payment plan is the only option that enables you to receive a tuition refund should you withdraw your child early.
