School Fees – Claremont High School

Designated by the WCED as a quintile 5 school, the school fees ensure that affordability remains a priority.

Our school fees for 2024 were decided at the Budget Meeting held in November 2023. Fees are reviewed annually. As with all WCED schools, it is a legislated requirement for the School Governing Body to make provision for financial assistance, and this facility is available at CHS.

While recognising the diversity of means among the Claremont High School community, it remains essential for all parents to prioritise the payment of fees, as these fees are essential for the school to provide all the facilities required to support an excellent educational environment.

Fees for 2024: R12 800 per learner per annum

FEES COLLECTION 2024

Fees may be paid in one of the following ways:

Once off payment upfront of R12 800 on or before 31 January 2024 (No discount on fees are offered).
