Here are some FAQs.

What is the age limit of Olevels/IGCSE in your school? +
Students usually begin IGCSE/O-Levels from about age 9: a Grade 6 child aged 9 to 11 joins IGCSE. We do not start IGCSE at age 8. Every child takes our assessment first. The online school is for children aged 10 and above; Fast Track IGCSE is for students aged 15 and above.
How much is the monthly fees for Olevels and ALevels? +
Fees for new admissions from July 2026 (families who joined before July 2026 keep their existing fee).

Monthly tuition (Pakistan): Playgroup, KG & Primary Rs. 22,000 (campus only) · Foundation Rs. 31,200 (campus only) · IGCSE/O-Levels Rs. 31,200 · A-Levels & BTEC Rs. 36,000.
Monthly tuition (outside Pakistan, online): IGCSE/O-Levels USD 120 · A-Levels USD 180 · BTEC USD 240.
Admission fee (one time, non-refundable): Rs. 60,000 on campus · Rs. 30,000 online in Pakistan · USD 200 outside Pakistan.
Chromebook (one time): Rs. 30,000 / USD 120.
Annual charges: annual maintenance fee of Rs. 20,000 on campus, Rs. 12,000 online, or USD 50 outside Pakistan, paid in advance each July. In the first year you pay only for the months left until June (for example, a September joiner pays Rs. 16,667 on campus or Rs. 10,000 online).
Monthly tuition rises 10% at the start of each new academic year, never mid-year. Exam board registration fees are paid separately to the board.
What is the annual charge (annual maintenance fee)? +
Every student pays an annual maintenance fee, in advance, for the academic year (July to June): Rs. 20,000 on campus, Rs. 12,000 online, or USD 50 outside Pakistan. It funds the technology and facilities that support your child's learning. In the first year you pay only for the months left until June (for example, joining in September: Rs. 16,667 on campus, Rs. 10,000 online, USD 41.60 abroad). From the next July the full amount renews each year.
How much does the admission assessment cost? Is it refundable? +
Rs. 5,000 for Foundation, IGCSE/O-Levels, A-Levels and BTEC; Rs. 2,000 for Playgroup, KG and Primary. The assessment charges are non-refundable: the fee pays for the assessment itself, whatever the result, and does not buy a place. (If you cancel 48 hours or more before your slot, the fee is returned.) Book and pay at apps.olevels.com/assessments.
What is the Foundation Programme? +
An IGCSE-based programme for younger students. Subjects: Urdu, Islamiyat, Art & Design and Hospitality. Maximum age: 12 years. Monthly fee Rs. 31,200 (the same as IGCSE). Foundation is offered on campus only for now; an online Foundation is planned.
What is the Focus Group? What are its timings and fee? +
A small group (about six students per teacher) with extra hours, close monitoring and a direct line between parents and the teacher. It is closer support, not a label. Classes run all 6 days: Monday to Thursday and Saturday, 2:00–5:00 pm; Friday 8:30–10:00 am and about 2:30–5:00 pm after Jumma. Fee: Rs. 14,400 (USD 52) per month on top of tuition; no discounts apply.
Permanent Focus Group: recommended at admission, for the whole IGCSE journey.
Temporary Focus Group: when a student is not performing (weekly test average below 65%, or on the teacher's recommendation), for the next full semester.
What is Fast Track IGCSE? Fees, duration, subjects and age limit? +
For students aged 15 and above, on a fixed calendar that does not extend.
Track A, 6 months (LRN board): Art & Design, Hospitality, Business, English, Mathematics.
Track B, 1 year (Pearson Edexcel): Semester 1 Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics Part 1; Semester 2 Mathematics, English, Biology.
Fee (standard, non-residential, online or on campus): Rs. 1,200,000 for either track, all-inclusive (Chromebook, registration, all tuition, materials and parent reports); USD 4,300 for overseas parents paying by card. Only the exam board fee is paid separately, to the board.
Residential (optional add-on): hostel and study on campus for the whole term, charged separately: Rs. 600,000 (Track A) or Rs. 1,200,000 (Track B), so Rs. 1,800,000 or Rs. 2,400,000 in total.
What if my child does not pass an exam? Getting your child to pass is our responsibility. If a student does not pass, they reappear and we cover the tuition for it (the exam board fee is paid by the family), as long as the student and family kept every requirement throughout the batch: attendance and homework at 90% or more, every weekly test, and the agreement's rules.
Fast Track fees are not refundable once paid.
What skills do BTEC students learn in their internship? +
BTEC students work on real projects across the school and build technical skills in video editing, graphic design, marketing, social media, admissions, customer support and HR.
What is your refund policy? +
The admission fee is never refunded. The month's tuition paid in advance and the annual maintenance fee are refunded if withdrawal is requested within the first 7 days of the start of the academic session; after that they are not refunded. The Chromebook fee is refunded only if the device has not been issued. Assessment charges and Fast Track fees are non-refundable.
