Tuition Schedule & Policies

St. Kitts International Academy relies on the timely and regular payment of tuition fees by families.  A late fee of $100EC per month will be accrued for invoices not paid on time. All student accounts must be kept current to ensure continued enrollment. A $100 EC late fee will be applied monthly to overdue balances. Accounts must be fully up to date for students to sit end-of-term exams and receive report cards. Additionally, students cannot re-enroll if there are any outstanding arrears. Invoices outstanding for more than three months will result in your child being removed from the school program, no report card will be issued and accounts will be turned over to legal counsel.

Registration Fees:
There is an annual $200EC registration fee for your child due before the close of each academic year to ensure a spot for your child the following year.

Tuition Fees:
Please ensure that you have selected one of our three payment options. In order to ensure the continued financial stability of our school, the following policies regarding payments are in place.

In order to guarantee a classroom placement, tuition payments must be made prior to the beginning of the school year and on time with the stipulated dates listed below.  Students leaving the term early or starting a term late are responsible for the entire term’s fees.

Option 1:
Payment in full for the year
(August 15)

Option 2:
Four payments

High School Payment Option

Tuition is at a reduced cost for local families. In order to qualify for this reduction, at least one parent, as well as the student applicant, must hold a valid passport from St. Kitts and Nevis. Passport holders from CARICOM countries are not considered to be “local.” Expatriates are all applicants who are not St. Kitts and Nevis passport holders, and will be charged the non-local or expatriate tuition rate.

High School Courses:
If, for any reason, a student needs to repeat a class or take courses beyond the required 30 credits, there will be additional fees added to your invoice.

Siblings: A 10% sibling discount is offered to families with more than one child at the school. The discount will be applied to the latest child enrolled. The sibling discount does not apply to children in our high school program.
