Schools usually ask for composite fees once a year. That covers a bunch of things—tuition, library charges, lab fees, development costs, and all the usual stuff—rolled into one big payment. The idea is to keep things simple, so you’re not stuck paying different amounts every month. Some schools let you split the fee into a couple of installments, but paying every month isn’t really the norm. It’s smart for parents to double-check the school’s fee policy and schedule, just to be sure about when and how the fee’s due. That way, you know exactly what to expect and can plan ahead.
