Published day‑student fee materials do not show a single public boarding schedule on the fee pages; an historical/structured fee summary that has circulated lists a boarding charge of USD 500 (commonly shown as a per‑term boarding charge in past fee summaries). Use the boarding availability and historical boarding charge as indicative only.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school runs a three‑term academic calendar (term dates typically: mid‑August to December; early January to March; April to June). Tuition is commonly presented as an annual sum and billed per term (three instalments) or can be invoiced on a termly basis. The per‑term figures provided above are annual ÷ 3 to reflect the three terms. - Historical/archived fee documents and circulated fee summaries indicate: bank slip invoicing before each term, acceptance of direct bank deposit or bank‑to‑bank transfer, issuance of bank details in parent notices, and addition of bank charges or telegraphic transfer costs to the payer where applicable. Late payment penalties and returned‑cheque fees are included in circulated fee summaries (examples: bounced‑cheque fee USD 100; interest or late‑payment charges applied to overdue balances).
Refunds and withdrawal
- No detailed public refund schedule or comprehensive refund policy is published in the fee pages and the primary fee summaries for 2025/2026; historical fee documents circulated to parents indicate that certain one‑time fees (for example, registration/admission) are charged at enrolment and that outstanding balances affect release of candidate results or documents. Specific refundable items (for example, refundable caution/security deposits) are not listed in the publicly visible fee summaries for the 2025/2026 materials reviewed.
Accepted payment methods and practical notes
- Published and circulated school fee materials and parent notices indicate payment by direct bank deposit / bank‑to‑bank transfer and local bank payment slips. Historical materials and circulated fee summaries note acceptance of payments in USD or in Uganda Shillings (UGX) at the bank exchange rate on credit, and that bank charges for telegraphic transfers are added to the payer's account. Examples of bank details and bank deposit instructions have been provided to parents in school newsletters.

Admissions
Admissions
1. Admission is merit-based and selective. Kabojja International School seeks students who have the potential to succeed academically and fit the school's standards. The student body should be diverse, drawn from varied economic, cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The Admissions Committee, overseen by the Admissions Manager, conducts the admissions process as part of a common admissions procedure. 2. Admission timing is ideally at the beginning of the academic year or term but can occur at any time if not disadvantageous to the student or the school. Admission is for a programme (PYP, MYP or Diploma) but progression from one programme to the next is not automatic; progression depends on academic progress, attitude and behaviour. 3. Each applicant should have a campus tour, either in person or virtually, and all applicants follow the common admissions procedure with age-related considerations. 4. Kabojja International School admits students from Grade 1. 5. Documents required include the last two consecutive school reports, birth certificate and passport (or valid identity card), two recent passport photographs, the student's medical record and vaccination card, and the school leaving certificate (if available). 6.
