This is a non-refundable one-time payment which must be paid before the student attends school. Payment of this fee will secure a seat for the student at the school. This fee is applicable to the Kindergarten to Grade 12. (Not Pre-K).

If a student transfers to AISJ from another international school in South Africa that charges a capital fee lower than the AISJ capital fee, the fee due to AISJ will be the difference between the two fees. If the capital fees charged by the previous school are greater or equal to the AISJ fee, then the capital fee will be waived.

Fees for all students are due and payable prior to the first day of student attendance in a school year. Families of students new to the school, who cannot meet this due date, may ask for up to a one-month time extension. Such extension can be granted by the Finance Director and will not incur an interest penalty.

Compound interest will be charged on delinquent amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month and notice will be given that students whose fees are 30 days delinquent will not be allowed to attend school until fees are paid.

No records, transcripts or diplomas will be issued by the School until all accounts have been settled.

Late Entry and Early Withdrawals

In order to accommodate AISJ’s transient student population for late entry and early withdrawal the school will prorate tuition and bus fees for students who enter school after the beginning of a semester or leave before the end. Fees will be prorated on the following basis:
1. Attendance for 1 (one) day of a quarter (half semester) shall constitute attendance for the whole quarter.
2. Attendance for 4 (four) weeks of a semester will constitute attendance for the whole semester.
3. The Capital Fee will not be prorated.
4. In situations of late entry or early withdrawal bussing fees are prorated on a daily basis.

For those special cases where a student knows at the time of registration that he/she will be enrolled at AISJ for less than 1 (one) school year, a request to prorate the capital fee may be forwarded to the Finance Committee for consideration.*

The Board of Directors may review, on a case-by-case basis, the circumstances surrounding unanticipated withdrawals from the school at the request of the Director.
