As a private school, King’s College is required to be financially independent of government education subsidies. The operating costs of the College are recovered through the tuition and boarding fees charged for all enrolled students.

Fees are reviewed annually by the King’s College Board of Governors. Changes normally take effect from the beginning of Term One.

Note: All figures are in New Zealand dollars and are GST inclusive.
