Tuition Fees
Our annual fees breakdown for each phase.
- A learner is admitted for that particular year. Once the learner is admitted, he/ she has to comply with the rules and regulations of the school. It must be into the parents mind that the learner has occupied a space that somebody else could have occupied, which means during the course of the year there will be no transfers and no refunds will be made. Any transfer allowed will be supported by evidence. As fees are for the year, we break them into termly fees and monthly fees.
- Step Ahead is a fee-paying school. We expect parents/guardians to honor financial obligations towards the school without fail. The school will take legal action against all defaulters.
- Fees should be paid at the beginning of each month (before 7th) or term (first week). January to October
- All fees to the School must either be by way of Deposit or electronic money transfer. For security reasons, cash will not be accepted.

- The school does not continue with a learner who is owing the school.
