Fees
Annual tuition at Korean International School Philippines ranges from PHP 7,200 to PHP 10,500 for 2026/27.
Published annual tuition (indicative for 2026/27) - Reception / Grade 1: USD 7,200 per year. - Grade 6: USD 8,800 per year. - Grade 11 (sixth form): USD 10,500 per year.
Per-term amounts (inferred from common Manila billing patterns) - Most Manila international and national-curriculum schools bill in two or three instalments per school year; using those instalment options, the per-instalment amounts for the indicative annual tuitions above are: - Reception / Grade 1: two instalments = USD 3,600; three instalments = USD 2,400. - Grade 6: two instalments = USD 4,400; three instalments ≈ USD 2,933.33. - Grade 11: two instalments = USD 5,250; three instalments = USD 3,500. (These per-term figures are calculated from the published annual figures and the common two/three-instalment billing practice used by Manila schools; they are presented as instalment examples rather than a school-stated per-term schedule.)
Application / admission fees - No specific, current application or admission fee amount for KISP was located in publicly available school profiles or directories; prospective parents should note that application fees are commonly charged by international and national-curriculum schools but no school-published value for KISP was found.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Schools in Manila commonly invoice tuition in two or three instalments per year, with the first instalment due before the school year starts; tier-three and national-curriculum specialist schools more often bill in Philippine pesos. The indicative tuition figures above should therefore typically be payable either in two or three instalments and are commonly billed in PHP at the school's published exchange rate or in USD where permitted.
Boarding / dormitory fees - No boarding or dormitory programme for KISP was identified in publicly available school listings and profiles; KISP is listed as a K–12 day school located at McKinley Hill (Bonifacio Global City / Taguig). No separate boarding fees were found.
Other regular costs and typical additional fees - Typical additional annual costs (ranges observed across Manila schools and commonly applicable to specialist/national schools) include: school bus (USD 1,400–2,800), lunch (USD 800–1,400), books and stationery (USD 250–600), uniform (first year USD 300–500; subsequent years USD 150–250), residential/trip costs (USD 400–1,800), technology/device fees (USD 300–600), and assessment/IB exam fees where applicable. These are typical additional cost categories and ranges used for planning in Manila; no school-published itemised list with exact amounts for KISP was located.
Refund information and withdrawal policy - No publicly posted refund or early-withdrawal policy specific to KISP was found in the available school profiles and directories. Manila schools commonly maintain staged refund policies (for example, percentage refunds depending on withdrawal date) and refundable security deposits at some schools, but no KISP-specific refund schedule or refundable deposit amount was located.
Fee payment options - Manila schools typically accept payments in Philippine pesos and, at many schools, U.S. dollars for families on dollar packages; bank transfer and corporate billing are commonly used. No school-published, KISP-specific list of accepted payment methods (for example, credit card, local bank transfer, international wire) was located in the publicly available sources.
One-off charges (capital levies, deposits) - One-off capital levies and refundable security deposits are commonly charged by Manila international schools; published capital-levy practice is common across the city. No KISP-specific capital levy amount or one-off enrolment charge was found in the public listings reviewed.
Summary of findings and data gaps - The only clear, school-specific fee figures located in public sources were the indicative annual tuition ranges per representative year group (Reception/Grade 1: USD 7,200; Grade 6: USD 8,800; Grade 11: USD 10,500). These figures are presented here as the primary published tuition indicators for 2026/27 found in school-fee compilations for Manila. Billing schedule norms, typical additional cost categories and instalment arithmetic are included above for planning, but no up-to-date, school-published, itemised KISP fee schedule (application fee amount, full year-group-by-year-group tuition schedule, exact per-term billing amounts, refundable-deposit amounts, formal refund policy wording, boarding fees, or a public list of accepted payment methods) was located in the publicly available materials reviewed.
