BISA charges fees to cover the full cost of tuition, exercise books, loan of textbooks and participation in clubs (other than those provided by outside experts). Fees for additional services are also indicated and are charged separately. The school relies on the timely payment of fees in order to provide a quality education for all of its students.
*The school year is comprised of three terms but in Years 11 and 13 the annual fees are divided into two rather than three equal instalments.
Payment by monthly instalments may be arranged at the discretion of the Head Teacher in consultation with the Fees Administration Committee.
Family Discounts (tuition fees only): family discounts are offered for the second and subsequent siblings in a family as follows:
| Second child | less 10% |
| Third child | less 15% |
| Fourth and subsequent children | less 17.5% |
School Bus
Braeburn School Arusha operates buses to transport students to and from school. There are two options available to parents whose children are in Primary or Secondary; either for their children to be collected and dropped off at a central point or a door-to-door service within any of the zoned A-D areas shown below. For parents with children in the Early Years Centre only a door-to-door service is available; this can be the standard return service or a one-way service for parents who can bring their children to school in the morning but need a bus to return them at the end of the school day. Please contact our Transport Coordinator for further details at the school number shown below.
| SCHOOL BUS fees per term | A Tzs | B Tzs | C Tzs | D Tzs |

Boarding
The boarding fees include accommodation, home study support from teachers, transport when required, meals, bedding /mosquito net, Internet access, email and DSTV. Medical cover is explained in the application form. The activity fee is used for trips and excursions organised by boarding and teaching staff. Students are expected to participate in a range of these events. Any fee remaining at the end of a term will be carried over to the following term and be reflected in the term’s/year’s ‘top-up’ fee.
Unpaid Fees
If fees from the previous term remain unpaid at the end of the second week of term, parents will receive a reminder note and students may be excluded from school unless arrangements have been made with the Head Teacher. A 1.25% surcharge per month is levied on all outstanding fees. A banking slip or telegraphic transfer advice should be presented to verify payment and to avoid surcharges being levied. This responsibility lies with the parents.
Additional Costs
Day, Residential and Sports Excursions: Day, residential and sporting trips form important elements of our curricular and extra-curricular activities. These are charged for separately.
Examination fees: Students sitting IGCSE, AS and A level examinations and BTEC assessments will be invoiced separately for these during term one. Fees for examinations are approximately Tzs200,000/= per subject for IGCSE, AS and A levels. This cost includes registration, entry and postage and packing. Other examinations with entry fees will be invoiced throughout the year e.g., NEA or ABRSM.
Enrolment fees: This fee is paid only by students when they first join the school and is a contribution to the school’s future capital development:
| First child | Tzs350,000/= |
| Family enrolment (two or more children) | Tzs550,000/= |
| Year 12 or Year 13 | Tzs750,000/= |
Refundable deposit: A refundable deposit is charged on entry to the school. This deposit will be refunded when the child leaves the school, provided that all fees are paid, school resources have been returned and no damage has been done to school resources or property.
| Deposit per student (Early Years) | Tzs450,000/= |
| Deposit per student (Year 1 to 13)* | Tzs650,000/= |
| Boarding deposit | Tzs1,200,000/= |
*Only applies to students joining who have not attended Early Years
Withdrawal
Parents are reminded that it is a condition of enrolment that notice is given in writing to the Head Teacher at least one term before the withdrawal of a student from the school. Notice must be in writing and must be acknowledged in writing before it becomes valid. If written notice is not given, a term’s fees in lieu of notice must be paid. Please note that the same period of notice is required if a student completing Early Years or Primary does not continue to the next class. Notice is not required for students leaving on completion of Year 11 or Year 13 in Secondary. No refund of fees or refundable deposits will be given should a student be suspended or excluded from school or boarding, or if absent from school due to illness or holiday.

Payment should be made at ABSA Bank, Arusha branch, not at the school. Account name: Braeburn Schools (T) Ltd. Account number: 4002179 (Tzs). Branch code: 002; Swift/BIC: BARCTZTZXXX
