Introduction

Zhengzhou Sino-Australian School is located in the Zhengzhou Airport Area, Henan, China, east of the road and 100 metres north of the intersection of Yongzhou Road and Poyang Lake Road. The school offers three international curricula: the Australian Curriculum, Cambridge A Levels, and the IB Diploma Programme. This mix gives students a choice of study pathways aligned with universities worldwide, while developing language and intercultural skills for a cohort. The Australian Curriculum supports progression through consistent standards, Cambridge A Levels offer subject-focused preparation for higher education, and the IB DP emphasizes inquiry, critical thinking, and a holistic approach to learning. Families considering international study options in central China may find the school appealing for blended curriculum options within a single campus, designed to support students as they prepare for higher education opportunities abroad. The campus aims to foster collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds through supportive teachers and structured programs globally.

Fees

Application fees

- Application / registration fee: No fixed application fee amount is published in the school's publicly available fee information. Families should expect that there may be a non‑refundable registration or enrolment charge at the point of offer in line with common local practice.

Tuition fees (by programme and year group)

- Australian curriculum (WACE) – International high school pathway: RMB 39,000 per academic year; charged on an academic‑year basis (equivalent to RMB 19,500 per semester when the year is split into two semesters).

- American / U.S.-style high school and other specialty high‑school streams:
- Years 10–11 (U.S. / specialty pathway): RMB 53,000 per academic year (equivalent to RMB 26,500 per semester).
- Year 12 (U.S. / specialty pathway): RMB 58,000 per academic year (equivalent to RMB 29,000 per semester).
These program rates are charged per academic year.

- Other programmes (IGCSE / A‑Level / mixed tracks): Fees vary by programme and year group; where specific per‑year figures for those streams are published they will be listed separately by programme. The school operates multiple international programme tracks with different fee levels.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing cadence: Tuition and boarding fees are charged on an academic‑year basis and are not to be prepaid across academic years; the school implements academic‑year billing (schools in the city are required to follow this practice). Fees are commonly payable either in full for the academic year or by semester in advance of the relevant term. Late payment typically results in administrative restrictions on student services until the account is cleared.

- Due dates and instalments: Fees due dates are set by the school before term start; the school offers semester billing (two instalments per year) in practice for the programmes above (the per‑semester figures shown above follow that split). Parents are expected to settle fees by the published deadline to avoid administrative penalties.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- Boarding status: The school operates as a boarding school (full/majority boarding provision) and provides on‑campus accommodation and catering services for enrolled students.

- Boarding fee amount: No single, separate published boarding‑fee figure for the school's international programmes is provided in the publicly available fee summaries reviewed. Boarding, catering and life‑service charges may either be included in a programme's published tuition figure or invoiced as a distinct charge depending on the programme and the family's chosen options (full board, meal plan, single/double room, etc.). Families should plan for additional accommodation and catering costs when budgeting.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- Textbooks and core learning materials: May be included in the tuition for some programmes but are often listed separately for specific courses or year groups; expect per‑year charges for consumable materials where applicable.

- National/international exam and testing fees: External exam fees (AP/SAT/IELTS/雅思/SACE/WACE/国际考试报名费), university application fees, college entrance testing and proctoring fees are charged separately and are not included in base tuition. Budget separately for test registration, proctoring and related application charges.

- Uniforms, activity fees and instruments: Uniform purchase, optional activity fees, instrument hire or music exam fees and some co‑curricular costs are charged in addition to tuition where applicable.

- Meals and daily living: If boarding fees do not fully include catering, meal plans or cafeteria charges will be invoiced separately. Expect regular cafeteria or meal plan charges for boarding students.

- Visa, medical, insurance and travel costs: For students intending to study abroad or participate in overseas exchanges, visa fees, required medical checks, insurance and travel are additional and charged separately.

Refund information

- Refund principles: Refunds for tuition and boarding fees follow local education and pricing regulations. When a student withdraws, school fees and accommodation fees are typically refunded on a pro‑rata basis calculated by months remaining in the academic period (an academic year is commonly calculated as 10 months and a semester as 5 months for pro‑rata calculations in local practice). Some administrative and registration charges are non‑refundable. Schools process approved refunds back to the payer by standard financial channels.

Fee payment options

- Common accepted payment methods: Domestic bank transfer to the school's designated account, online payment (school payment portal / campus payment platform), WeChat Pay and Alipay QR payments, and in some cases in‑person payment at the campus finance office. Overseas families can typically pay by international bank transfer (SWIFT) where the school provides foreign‑currency account details. Official receipts are issued upon payment.

- Billing documentation and receipts: The school issues formal invoices/receipts for each payment and maintains an account statement for enrolled students; parents should retain receipts for proof of payment and any future refund or scholarship processing.

Notes for budgeting parents

- Total household budget should include published tuition for the chosen programme (see figures above), an allowance for boarding and meal charges if not fully included, exam and application fees, uniforms and materials, and contingency for optional activities or overseas travel. The school runs multiple programme tracks with different fee levels; confirm the programme code when reviewing the invoice to match the correct published rate.
