All fees are payable in INR only.

Payments may be made only through the following options:

Please note that STS does not accept any PDC payment of fees.

• Please include the student’s name and grade, both parent / guardian name(s) and contact number while using any of the payment options listed above and also email the details of payments to admission@sts-school.edu.in. A payment confirmation receipt will be sent to the email provided or mailed to the address on the school record.
• All bank charges on inward remittance of fee, if any, shall be debited to the student’s account.
• If any cheque / demand draft is returned, a processing fee of Rs. 500 in addition to the applicable bank charges and late payment charges will be debited to the student’s account.

If the fee is not paid by the applicable due date, a late fee of Rs. 50 per day will be levied until the outstanding dues are paid in full. Any unpaid late payment charges will be treated as amounts due and adjusted to the extent possible against the balance of the security deposit.

Parents / guardians may request withdrawal of their child from STS through an email or letter duly signed by the parents / guardians and addressed to both the Principal and to your Community Relations Executive at the email addresses s2s@gmail.com.

Where parents / guardians have already submitted a Continuation Form for the Academic Year, the email or letter seeking withdrawal should clearly specify the reason(s) for seeking such withdrawal. This is expected since the school would have incurred costs and deployed resources based on the earlier reconfirmation provided by the parents / guardians.

On withdrawal, the security deposit after adjustment of any outstanding dues if any, along with any other sum due as per this policy will be processed and refunded as follows:

Refund of interest free Security Deposit: A full refund of the Security Deposit will be provided within 45 days of receipt of written notice or request for issuance of the Transfer Certificate, whichever is later. The payment will be made after adjustment of dues including any outstanding unpaid fee, late payment charges, fines or cost of repairing damage to school property, if any, caused by the student.

• Refund of interest free Security Deposit: A full refund of the Security Deposit will be provided within 45 days of receipt of the written notice or request or issuance of the Transfer Certificate, whichever is later. The payment will be made after adjustment of dues such as any outstanding unpaid fee (including the second installment fee), late payment charges, fines or cost of repairing damage to school property, if any, caused by the student.
• Annual Education Fee, Language Fee, Learning Lab Fee: No portion of the fee paid for the Academic Year will be refunded if the school receives a request for withdrawal after the Academic Year has commenced in April, 2026. The school acquires and deploys resources based on confirmation of the student continuing her or his STS journey. Any mid-term withdrawal has an impact on not just your child but the entire class.
• Non refundable Other Costs: All other costs such as Bus Transport, Books, Stationery and Educational Supplies, Class Outbound & Life Skills Trip,being predetermined annual fixed costs, are not refundable and cannot be refunded after the Academic Year has commenced in April.

Once paid the one-time non-refundable “Registration, Admission & Infrastructure / Development Fee” paid at the time of admission is not refundable.

Temporary withdrawals may be allowed, at the discretion of the School Management, upon payment of the Annual Education Fee due and payable during the period of such temporary withdrawal. The seat can be retained up to a maximum of 2 years under this facility, subject to the payment of the applicable Annual Education Fee. Refunds and Transfer Certificates will not be issued for temporary withdrawals.

Requests for deferred admissions may be considered at the discretion of the School Management before the start of the Academic Year. Admissions may be deferred for a period of 2 years upon payment of the one-time, non-refundable “Registration, Admission & Infrastructure / Development Fee.” Please note that all fees shall be applicable as per the Fee Notification relevant to the year the student starts physically attending school and any difference in the “Registration, Admission & Infrastructure / Development Fee” will also have to be paid.

Transfer Certificates will be issued when the school is in session, 14 working days after the student’s last working day at STS. A “No Dues Certificate” must be signed by the parent/guardian before student performance reports are issued. Please note that no Transfer Certificate or refunds will be issued while the student is still in school.

Any student who wishes to rejoin the school after a Transfer Certificate is issued, will be considered a fresh applicant.
