Fees and Bursaries

An overview of tuition and financial support options.

Our commitment to your family

We believe that joining the ISA community is the start of a wonderful journey for your whole family. We know that investing in your child’s education is a significant decision, and we are here to make the process as clear and supportive as possible. The fees you pay are directly invested back into our school, allowing us to provide the outstanding learning environment and individual attention that helps every student to flourish.

Your child will be provided with an individual Chromebook from Grade 5 onwards, this is included in the fees. As we do not have a school uniform, this is one less expense for your family to consider.

We offer a limited number of places with financial assistance for students in Kindergarten through to Grade 12. This support is designed for families who may not otherwise have the means to join our community.
