3. After School Activities fee

The school offers a range of After School Activities every year. Some activities are free and others are paid as they need specific supplies and/or an outside instructor to facilitate them. The activities are optional and related fees (for paid activities) are communicated during the signup process.


A deposit of $2,000 USD per newly enrolled student is payable within 14 days after an offer of a place is made. If payment is not made within 14 days, the student will be placed on the waitlist and their place may be offered to other students.

The enrollment deposit will be applied to the tuition fees. However, it is non- refundable and non-transferrable should the family cancel the admission or not physically arrive in Kigali after the place was offered.

Re-enrollment deposit of USD $2,000.00 per student is due by May 15, 2025, to reserve a place for the next school year. Re-enrollment deposits are non-refundable. However, they are applied to the tuition fees.

Annual tuition fee payments are due by the first day of school (August 19, 2025). If desired, parents may select a semester payment plan as explained below. The semester payment plan will have an additional administrative fee of USD $500.00 per student which should be paid together with tuition fees for the first semester.

●  Payment for the first semester must be made before a student enters class on August 19th, 2025.

●  Payment for the second semester must be made before the beginning of the second semester on January 26, 2026.


Any student admitted in the first eight weeks of the school year will pay full tuition for the academic year. Any student admitted after the first eight weeks, will pay prorated tuition based on the number of weeks (or partial weeks) enrolled plus the full application fee and capital development fee.

Students who are enrolled for a discrete period of time, i.e. where students begin and end their stay at ISK within a single academic year, of less than 28 weeks will pay prorated tuition fees along with the full application and capital development fees. There will be no refund should the student leave

earlier than the date initially agreed upon. Students who are enrolled for a discrete period of time (i.e. one semester admissions, etc.) will pay prorated tuition fees appropriate for the term of enrollment along with the full application and capital development fees. No refunds will be processed for a partially attended semester

The school prides itself on meeting the needs of a broad spectrum of learners. If students require additional support beyond what may be capably provided by a classroom teacher, we have two additional layers of support. They follow:


A Specialized Learning Space

In order to Create Access to Valuable Education for students with IEPs and needing significant levels of support not found in a mainstream classroom, a self-contained classroom (Silverback CAVE) was created to ensure high quality service.

In this space, students benefit from a fully modified curriculum which is delivered at an additional fee of USD $5,000.00 per student per year. Note: If a student is enrolled in the CAVE and needs a shadow teacher, only the shadow teacher fee will be paid.


Shadow Teacher Fees (1:1 Aide)

Students with Special Education needs that require a one-to-one shadow teacher will pay an extra fee of  $9,550.

1. All fees are payable in U.S Dollars (USD).

2. Exact tuition fees must be received into ISK’s account. Bank transfer charges including international transfer fees and/or intermediary bank charges is the responsibility of the payment issuer/parent/guardian.

3.When making payments directly to the school’s bank accounts, please provide ISK with a copy of the bank slip or wire transfer advice that will enable us to record your payments into your respective accounts. These can be sent to finance@iskr.org. Please show the invoice number or the family name in the payment description.

4. Refunds for withdrawals under any payment plan will apply only to the unattended semester after submitting a written notification for withdrawal to the school prior to the commencement of the new semester. No refunds will apply to the partially unattended semester. Refunds apply to tuition fees only and shall be paid by cheque or bank transfer at the parents/guardian/issuer's cost.

5. At least 50 % of tuition fees must be received before the student enters class. The student’s place may be offered to a student on the waitlist if the account is outstanding for a full week after school starts. All fees must be paid before final report cards are issued.

6. There will be late payment charges at 2% every month after the invoice becomes overdue and no payment plans have been communicated to the school.
